Answer
Overall this computer is great for day to day tasks but could be much better for graphics and video games Overall (3.5 out of 5)
* - terrible
** - room for much improvement (not even satisfactory)
*** - satisfactory
**** - Good
***** - Great, recommended
(N/A) - Not applicable
Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5750. (****) this is a pretty good processor for the price point
2GHz processor speed. (****) this is running at 4GHz total between the two processors so it is quite quick for running multiple apps etc.
2Mb cache.(***) this is the amount of quick access memor your computer uses, this is satisfactory, the more the better
2Gb DDR2 RAM 667MHz.(***) this is enough RAM to run vista, and a couple other Apps at once, but once you get into new games, internet, apps, etc, you will need more, however this is not bad, and upgrading is cheap (about 60$ for 2gb for laptop memory)
17in screen size. (*****/*) this screen is great for watching movies, playing videogames and editing using photoshop etc. However this is terrible for portability. The larger the screen the heavier it is, the less portable it becomes and the harder it is to find computer cases for it.
Games -> *****
Portability -> *
Resolution 1440 x 900 pixels. (N/A)Standard Pixels for ScreenSize
Widescreen. Preferrable over fullscreen because it is apparently easier on the eyes and can be more practical and portable
250Gb SATA hard drive.(****) this is a fairly large hard drive that will give you all the space you need to house all of your apps, music, data, videos, games, etc. (If you do run out of space there are External Hard Drives for decent prices) (ACTUAL HARD DRIVE SPACE IS APPROX. 221 Gb) 250 is the marketing size
Multi format, dual layer, optical drive.(N/A) Standard Drive nowadays
24x CD-ROM read speed.(***) Could be a bit faster but is good enough
10x CD-RW write speed.(***)
8x DVD-ROM read speed.(***)
4x DVD-RW write speed.(***)
Intel GMA X3100 graphics.(**) WARNING! This graphics card is quite slow. IF you intend to use this Laptop for simple processes than this will be fine, HOWEVER if you intend to use this for new games, it would be a better choice to get a graphics card. THIS GRAPHICS CARD IS NON UPGRADABLE (this means when you realize that this graphics card is not great, it cant be replaced without a whole new computer
Up to 358Mb graphics memory.(**) This is pretty basic, If you want to run new games, try getting a better graphics card, the integrated cards are bad
5-in-1 media card reader - compatible with Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD, xD.(****) This can be quite handy when using many different forms of memory, recommended for those who use cameras, cell phones, video cameras, mp3s etc. MUST HAVE
4 USB ports.(****) This is very good. You will need these to run all of your common computer desk accessories. THe more the better. If you do need more there are always Hubs for about 20-40$ that will increase your max to 8
1 Ethernet port.(N/A) Needed to connect to internet. STANDARD
1 FireWire port.(****) Good, needed to download information from digital cameras, without it, it can be very slow and frustrating
TV out interface.(****) Great to add a secondary monitor, such as an HDTV, this can be very helpful, but not completely necessary seeing as it has a 17" screen
Dolby sound.(*****) Great, improves sound quality when listening to music, movies, games, etc.
Harmon Kardon speakers.(***) Most laptop speakers are not very loud and so i give this 3.
1.3Mp webcam.(****) Great for chatting with others through the internet. Recommended for those who enjoy talking online
Modem.(N/A) Needed to connect to the internet
802.11 a/b/g wi fi enabled.(****) Although standard on most laptops nowadays, wi fi enables a greater amount of portability to your computer, it means that you do not have to plug an ethernet cable into your laptops port (Requires Wireless Internet)
Microsoft Vista Premium operating system installed.(***) This is not bad for those with a bit of extra RAM, but needs to be stripped down to run new games and Applications smoothly on current specs
Software included: MS Works, Ulead DVD movie factory, Toshiba DVD player, McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 (30 day trial).
(N/A) Comes with most laptops
2 hours battery life.(***) Although the 6Cell battery comes with most laptops nowadays it can truly be a pain. Often you need a battery for about 3 hours. If you wish to upgrade your laptop battery go to the toshiba website.
Size (H)3.66, (W)39.8, (D)28.8cm.(***) Improves viewing area, keyboard area, but loses portability
Weight 3.2kg. (N/A)
Cost (***) could be a bit better for the cash, but might be the right one for you
Hope that helps

Anyone good with computers?

I want to buy this portable laptop hard drive:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6756932/Trail/searchtext%3ELAPTOP+HARD+DRIVE.htm
Compatible with:
Windows 2000 Pro/XP Home and Pro/Vista: Pentium III, 500Mhz processor, 128Mb RAM (256Mb recommended).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Laptop is Intel Celeron M processer 520 (1.6 GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache)
Windows Vista
1) WILL IT WORK ON MY COMPUTER?
2) CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT ALL THIS MEANS?
3) WHERE CAN I FIND THE RAM?
Answer
1)it'll probably work on your computer since the minimum requirement for the processor is 500mhz and yours is 1.6 ghz.
2)The windows would be what windows os it works on. The Pentium lll and 500mhz is the minimum processor requirement. 500mhz is how fast the processor is running at. RAM is Random access memory. It's what makes your computer go faster.
3)Go to the start menu and in the search bar at the bottom, type in system information. Click on the first one that pops up and scroll down until you see total physical memory and available physical memory. That is your RAM.
