    Just seen this available on the Tosh site and for just over £1k i.e. £1056 you get a lot for your money. C2D T7200, memory max upto 4GB, only question is the memory Mhz is only 533 rather than 667mhz. Is this anything to be worried about? Otherwise any comments from Toshiba users on this model/series? and what's your experience been if you ordered from the Toshiba UK web-site? :confused:

    I don't thin 533MHz ram is anything to worry about, although 667MHz would pro bably run a BIT faster with a C2D due to the FSB.

    As for the Toshiba website, I wouldn't, I'm sure you can get a better deal at a different retailer, although I would be interested to know how their sales dept works.

    Toshioba's UK support I have found to be perfectly acceptable. I have called them for 3 different models of Toshiba Notebook and they have been able (after a bit of time) to answer any questions I may have. Their phone system is clear and quick, they answer quickly and have good information on any problems and inquiries I've had.
