I work at an authorised Toshiba Repair center... We also do out of warranty repairs on any other model, mostly Dells/Comp/HP/Acer. And out of all of them the Toshibas are the worst pieces of crap I've ever worked with... Although the Qosmio series are good... Their price is way off for what you get.... Too expensive. The Acers I have worked on mostly Tablets are VERY sturdy. Compared to tecra/satellite/portege tablets the acer is by far the best one and cheap too. Dells are not that bad, I love working on them since they are so simple.. Toshiba has been lacking alot in the customer service department and lets not forget how poorly build the A105/A135 were. The P105 series had something I liked to call "P105 syndrome"... Where the mem slots would go bad and cause repeated blue screens... Happend to mine before i solt it. All A205s have wireless issues, dvd-rw issues, and lets not forget power management issues. The A75/A70/M35x/M30x by toshiba WERE SO BAD that the state of california sued Toshiba. All owners of those 3 models have extended warranty till November of 2007. So if you were unfortunate enough to have bought one.... You still have warrranty. Toshiba sucks sucks sucks sucks.... god its horrible. I noticed I have alot of typos... it's late im sleepy :P night night
