The good: Available in several colors for the fashion conscious; full set of connectivity options which includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared and Gigabit Ethernet; fingerprint security scanner; innovative dual-mode touchpad; plays CDs without booting into Windows; excellent audio output.

The bad: Speaker muffled when laptop is closed; poor battery life.

The bottom line: The Toshiba Satellite A100 with its sunlight copper color is sure to turn heads. However, it's not all looks and no brains as this notebook is chock full of features for work and play.

An OK Laptop



Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Above average perfomence
Cons: A Laptop not meant for Lap
Opinion:
I Like this laptop but the main problem is that the intake of the CPU fan sits right over your left thigh when you use it as an lap-top - "literally". In winters it works as an heater but in summers if you keep it on your lap and try to work - YOUR LEFT THIGH GONNA ROAST because your leg blocks the intake for the CPU fan which makes the laptop very very hot. Simply considering the Indian weather condition - CARRY A FOLDING TABLE. Toshiba should still try the CPU fan configuration like in the A50 series where the CPU fan intake is at the rear left corner.

Good Value, Good Battery Life for a 15.4in Laptop



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Good Performance-Price Ratio, Good Battery Life
Cons: None
Opinion:
I have the New Zealand model (a100-803), it has a GeForce go 7300 rather than a ATI chip, I get better battery life than my old Pentium M Toshiba (3:45(A100) compared to 2:30(M50)), that used the same battery. I think Toshiba needs to change its whole line to Nvidia cards as they don't seem to use as much power as an equivalent ATI card.
