    Just got my new Toshiba A100-SK9! Thought I'd give some people some benchmarks and myopinions on it. It has been awesome I'm impressed with quality and speaker sound especially. Screen would be nice to be slightly higher resoloution. Now on to the benchmarks

    I just bought one, and ran some benchmarks.

    SuperPi 2m places done in 1m19s and a 3dmark of 3392. I got an avg of 3755 when I oc'd to 501/390.

    Haven't tested the battry life yet.

    Battery life... I'd guess 45 minutes, tops. My son has a similar unit. It's hard to even call it a portable computer.

    Ran PCMark05, all tests, 3970 something...

    Fast, but I am definately interested to see what the battery life would be once the battery is broken in, and how much of an improvemnt the 9 cell would be.

    My initial impressions, I agree with schleeb it doesn't look good, mrman have you god some input? How long does it last browsing, or watching a DVD?

    I just purchased this laptop as well, haven't had much time to play with it but it seems well built, I like the dedicated memory card. I think the battery should get at least 2 hours but I will check it out. Where do you get the benchmark program to test your system?

    be honest guys, the build quality of toshiba a-100 is okey but nothing to be praised. it is just a medium level chassis design, albeit the fast cpu and gpu

    thomasyyy2003 I said..

    "Ran PCMark05, all tests, 3970 something..."

    PCMARK05 not 3dmark... Different benchmark, tests cpu,memory and disk.

    As for the 3dmark mid 3700's with a 10% overclock on gpu and memory.

    I don't have the notebook in front of me but I will post screenshots tonight.

    I also switched to tweaked forceware drivers (again will check tonite) and that helped performance a bit.
