Hello richard
can you help me getting the system restore disc for a300-1bz. I would appreciate if you could do that for me as buying online is way to expensive for me. Thanks. Will be looking forward for your reply.

I got this laptop 2 years ago, at first it was great, but now it's sadly starting to be quite worn. I do use it for a minimum of 8 hours a day though. The main issue I'm having is severe overheating. A screw has also come out at some point and the bottom right corner is now a bit loose! The disc drive doen't seem to want to close properly anymore either. And finally the silver finish on the buttons under the touchpad has now come off from frequents use.

The good points, it loads up very fast, brilliant for gaming, lots of memory. I've never had a problem with the glossy finish myself, i prefer it to my old matt one. I give it a quick wipe once a week with a cloth and all is sorted.

Maybe mine is so worn because of the extensive use it gets, my last laptop also ended up in a similar condition before it got destroyed by a bowl of noodles.

I have had the A300-1bz for two and abit years now being one of the first people to actually buy one!

The machine is rock solid never misses a beat and it is used, abused and worked very hard, other laptops such as e-machines, Fujitsu’s, Packard Bell’s, samsungs and even a toshiba p200, just haven’t been able to take the heat

However after 2 years of hard labour my A300 is starting to show signs of its demise, the battery life is now practically non existent, some of the plastics have become brittle and broken. An alarming noise keeps emanating from the HDD and moving the laptop causes a rattle, and the machine is now starting the slow decline into death, even my samsung n310 netbook is faster to start now!

But overall this machine has been a solid work horse and has never let me down and would recommend a toshiba to anyone!

wow great points, so glad bout it not heating up like that, I'm usually on computer a long time so there's a really important thing when I buy my first laptop

I'm getting 1 for my 18th which is in December so bit of a while but I'd like an idea of what I'm looking for.

I don't know much about laptops myself so not really sure what to expect.

I know the only makes i don't want to go for is Dell and Acer.

If any1 thinks of any more advantages and disadvantages then please let me know.
