    Has anyone reviewed the Tecra S3 yet?

    I'm thinking about getting one to replace my T43 (gives me a headache).

    I'm interested in how the screen looks, the weight and overall use.

    Thanks.

    Hmm...
    I think that the S3 is too new for any reviews here at NBR.com. Try looking at PCmagazine and CNet and see if they've got anything. You can look at the M3 review here. Its pretty comparable to the S3 also take a look at its brother, the S2.

    When was the S3 released?

    I'm trying to decide between the M3 and S3. The only thing holding me back from buying the S3 is the weight. If it's going to be a far superior laptop then I guess I can handle lugging around 6.5 lbs. but if it's similar to the M3 in most respects I'd rather not.

    Well I think it came out about 2-3 months ago, but not many people know about it/buy it. I think the M3 and the S3 are essentially the same notebook, just with modified screen sizes, and a few tweaks in the hardware. I'd go with which ever one you feel is the best for your situation. What are you going to be doing with your notebook?

    Well, I just decided to scratch Toshiba off the list because neither of those models has a glossy screen. They just have the normal screens. :confused:

    Well, good luck! I don't know if they make any 15" non-widescreen glossy laptop though...
