Toshiba Satellite A30-203

I have had this Laptop for just under 3 weeks as a temporary measure as my other laptop is being repaired. I admit once it gets going the laptop is quite good but the problem with it is getting going becuase it just takes so long to load up. Another problem is that the wireless card now dosn't work after formatting and this means that I cannot access the internet. I would reccomend this laptop if you were willing to spend more money updating the memory and hard drive but apart from this I have found that it is quite a good laptop.

this Toshiba Satellite A30-203 laptop has a beautiful screen. it is very easy to use. make sure to buy an extra battery though because the battery life of this laptop does not last long at all. other than that it has great picture quality. as long as you have a good security system on this laptop you should have no problems. the laptop is very lightweight and ideal for carrying around....well, as long as you have an extra battery. other than that its good to keep at home. much better than a regular pc.

The Toshiba Satellite A30-203 is excellent

My Toshiba Satellite A30-203 lasted many years, still use it today just for music and internet. been through hell and back, dropped it a couple times and keeps on ticking. Just clean the thing, makes sure dust and such doesn't bog it down and make it heat up, and it'll work fine, was a pretty good laptop for it's time. Replaced the hard drive 2 times, the first time it was my fault [overheated because I put it on a blanket...i know] , second time I'm not sure what happened.touch pad died about a year ago.

The Toshiba Satellite A30-203 is a good machine. It was expensive when purchased and has served me well for over 5 years. You do have to prop it up to leave space underneath for cooling and if it starts overheating too much you just blow an external fan on it. Need to try vacuuming out the fans as I am sure there is dust there.

I bought this laptop in Moscow, I have dragged it all over the former soviet union, it been to most of Western Europe and now lives in Australia as the spare laptop at home, apart from a little maintenance, like cleaning the fans it is the best laptop I have ever had, I also have a Dell now newer and more powerful but it will never change my views on my Tosh satellite SA 30 -203, it has also been used in temperatures below - 30C and never missed a beat! Strongly recommended requires respect and it will respect the user, keep clean.

I was bought this laptop by my father in 2003 I think it was £850 pretty average for a decent laptop then, it was to replace a packard bell I was bought a week earlier (I was young and stupid) the packard bell actually blew up sparks and everything, this was the replacement and I was pleased enough until three weeks later when it began overheating and shutting off when running the simplest of programs, I bought fan assisters I propped it up on books I got a pro to clean the heat sink and all of this was to no avail. I tried my best to like this computer but in the end when you are wordprossesing work and it turns itself off with that memorable sound of death it becomes annoying, wouldnt recommend. Surprisingly I bought toshiba again p200-1ee and there have been no faults at all. I love the new one but would like to forget the A30.

Well recommend the Toshiba Satellite A30-203 is a very robust machine. High quality of graphics. Ergonomic.

Never troubleshooting. Very good fan.

I added a 3.06GHZ Hyper Threading CPU and 1GB of RAM to it plus a wifi card and the thing is brilliant. It still outperforms many of todays machines as far as I am concerned. Recommended.

A great looking machine with great performance and even better potential. Well recommend the Toshiba Satellite A30-203.

Well constructed, overall I well recommend this Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Infact the only bad thing I can say about this laptop is when it freezes up, it takes a while to unfreeze. But apart from that, go for this model - A30-203.
