Toshiba introduces Notebook w. 512GB SSD

Video memory is still shared. Plus the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD isn't the best for gaming. I think FSX would be lucky to get 10fps with it.

SSD is nice, but not $3500 nice.

Toshiba is NOT my friend

I'll steer clear of Toshiba products in the future....

I'm sitting here, on my 5 year old clunker Compaq laptop, hoping my nice, shiny, 13 month old, :tgun2:Toshiba:rocket: laptop will start charging its dead battery soon. I was using it this morning, and for about the 500th time, it switched to battery power :pop4: without reason (it was connected to it's charger at the time). Normally this was a momentary issue, but not today. I have tried using a different battery, and a different charger, and all I have succeeded in doing is draining both batteries to the point that the computer will not start.

1 month after the warranty :pop4: expired, I have a $1000 doorstop.:banghead:

Amazing! 512 Gigs of SSD Hard Drive?????

How can it be.

Very cool...


I am still saving up for a MacBook Pro, which will be around $3,000.00. Seems to be the price for state of the art lappies. Oh well...

If I were rich, I would get the Notebook Air (Mac) with SSD HD as well, just for fun. Maybe I can rent one for a few days to see what its like, lol.. Imagine dropping a laptop and not damaging its HD, lol... What an amazing age we live in...

Yep...the hdd would survive......but the rest of the notebook would be scrap!:icon_lol:


Edit: speaking of scrapped notebooks... I once saw a brand new multi €000 laptop being reduced to scrap after a chap ran over it with a forklift!! :isadizzy:
The driver got a LOT of stick over that. :bump:
 
That's one big SSD! I'm patiently waiting til I can afford even something in the 120Gig size for my next lappy.


I've had very good luck with Toshiba in the past and I'll probably stick with the brand for my next laptop...I just hope I don't have WWD's luck and get a stinker.

Business grade lappys ain't cheap compared to the consumer grade rigs.
A well-optioned, top o' the line laptop from any maker can hit that 3000-3500 mark...not just Mac.
I'm spec'ing out new laptops for our office and to get the options that we need for our PLC & other software the cheapest I've been able to get is around the $2500 range...the one that I would like to get is still over 3000 though.
