Looking for a novel way to use your Toshiba of a rainy afternoon? Well, we’re pretty convinced that msJeanJOiNSwoot has found a cracking idea. Aspiring guitarist and novice video editor extraordinaire, she has entered a competition with a company called guitarrig, and recorded one of her songs – and crafted a real rather super video for it.
OK, so we’re not sure about the monotone robot on vocals – but the guitar-work is spot-on and the visuals she has created with her Guitar Rig 3 software on Toshiba laptop Intel dual core with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 operating system are simply great.
An inspiring piece of creativity for a damp Wednesday afternoon…. Cracking stuff msJeanJOiNSwoot! Have you done better? Do let us know…
How many great inventions of this modern world do we take for granted? I for one used to neglect Toshiba laptops and their greatness” begins the post from Coriander Dreams in her post entitled ‘Using this one everyday’ – and what a pleasant beginning to a post it is.
Now although the mysteriously monikered author doesn’t go on to elucidate about exactly what Toshiba she is talking about, she does seem to be extremely happy about the “glossy screen” – of course, not everything is perfect – but while “the only thing I am not that happy about is the screen size”, who can deny that “of course this means it is a lot lighter in weight as well so I should not really complain about it.”
Meanwhile, Colleen from GeekySpeaky has come out, all guns blazing, in support of Microsoft Vista – quite unexpected after she openly admits that she actively sought any other operating system just weeks ago when purchasing a sparkly new Toshiba. All change now though, and she has to admit “I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had any of the compatibility issues that I’ve heard others reporting, and if anything, Vista and the way it works to organize things has made my life easier.”
“So yes, I’m willing to take back all of the negative press I gave Vista…but it IS a Microsoft product, so we all know there’s still room for error.” Indeed, but interesting to note that there are bloggers out there who do like the Vista platform.
Meanwhile, Tom Barrett has received his new Toshiba Satellite A300 to review, and has already discovered a nifty feature “Been sent a new Toshba A300 to look at - fancy Harmon Kardon speakers in built” – we hope you enjoy it sir!
Topextop vom notebookforum.at, der sich das Notebook gekauft hat und gleich mit dem mitgelieferten Treibern auf XP umgestellt hat. “Soweit läuft alles Perfekt, nur die Beleuchtung am Lappi selber kann man nicht deaktivieren, habe Toshiba Control aufgespielt, und versucht dort dieses zu aktivieren, macht der aber nicht.”
Wenn jemand eine Idee dann lasst es uns doch bitte wissen oder schreibt gleich hier ins Forum. Vielen Dank.
We thought we’d indulge in a bit of a blast about some of the UK’s most popular Social Media meeting places today on talkToshiba – while we prepare the ground for tomorrow’s special feature, profiling one of our favourite presences out in the space.
We’ve been browsing Twitter (you can follow us there for almost instant blog updates if you so desire) and noted a couple of interesting points. Firstly, Karl Goddard who runs the Learning ICT blog, who we can only imagine has picked up perhaps a Satellite P200 and seems particularly happy with his purchase - “now playing with shiny new Toshiba laptop… monster 17″ screen, fullsize kboard im even likin Vista - but no built in web cam - pics later!”
Meanwhile, Usha Vencatachallam too has informed followers via his ‘tweetery’ that he is having fun with Toshiba too “Sony Vaio just upped and died. Toshiba is my new best friend. Making a snap laptop decision is not as bad as I imagined.” John from vivaveracruz however has managed to get his trip back in order, thanks to Toshiba and his sister-in-law. “While our return to New Mexico has been delayed because my new laptop died and needed attending to, I borrowed a fine seldom used Toshiba laptop from my sister-in-law.”
A cursory glance at Facebook reveals 1,441 Toshiba fans keen to express their opinion of the brand – and Wasim Arshad has expressed his thoughts on one model particularly. “I have had my Toshiba Equium M40X-189 laptop for around 3 years now and it has never become physically faulty! It’s brilliant!!”
Finally – does anyone run a Toshiba laptop with Linux? Zeke certainly does, and stumbled upon this fascinating article with advice on just that…
Wie computerbase.de berichtet hat Toshiba drei seiner Produktserien einen neue Ausstattung verpasst. Hier eine kleine Übersicht mit den aktuellen Konfigurationen der 15,4″ Notebooks.
“With the demands of the new Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System and Microsoft Office applications becoming increasingly higher, you might be thinking it’s about time to ask your boss for a new laptop” begins the review of the Toshiba P300 (click here for full spec) over at our good pals at gaj-it.com. And by golly they’re right!
For far too many folk, dubious laptops seemingly left over from the cold-war bring nothing more than frustration and lack of productivity. And as Arutha (author of the review) says “for the next generation of business laptops this is one to consider”, pointing out the dual core processor and 2GB of RAM, alongside the enviable 200GB hard drive space and DVD writer as standard.
Of course, the P300 isn’t perfect for everybody… “For us gamers don’t even go there” – but if it is a business laptop you are after, then this is certainly one to consider according to gaj-it.com who heartily recommend “writing those ‘recommendation’ letters to your boss…” You heard them – get to it!
W. Dömland, wendet sich an das wer-weiss-was-forum.de, dort erhält man zu Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen Antworten von anderen Usern. Dömland hat sich einen Toshiba L350 zugelegt mit integrierter Webcam, diese wird allerdings ständig aktiv beim starten des Book´s im Handbuch fand er leider keinen Hinweis, wie man die Funktion ausschalten kann. Ein User hilft und rät ihm,
Zitat: “…das Gerät im Gerätemanager deaktivieren. Dann wird kein Treiber dafür geladen. Und du kannst es bei Bedarf relativ einfach wieder einschalten….”
Every now and then one receives an email which sheds a ray of light so shimmery upon a previously mysterious situation, that one wonders why said light has not been shimmered before. Just such a thing has happened today, and it’s kudos to our good pal Jean-Baptiste at catswhocode.com – who has written up a virtually foolproof method of just how to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a Toshiba l40-10O.
We’ve noted feedback from several of our trialists who suggest that although the software bundles that come with the Toshiba computers are very well-received, not every user loves Microsoft Vista. For those chaps, this article, which answers those awkward questions you may be afraid to ask, will help offer a new dimension to what you can do with your l40-10O.
pulse wendet sich ratsuchend an das notebookforum.at. Er besitzt einen Toshiba Satellite, auf diesem hat er jetzt BS Windows XP installiert (vorher Windows Vista). Das einzige was jetzt noch fehlt ist eine WLAN-Verbimdung, aber dies will leider nicht so richtig funktionieren…
