Does anyone have the Toshiba U205? If so, I would appreciate it if you could answer the below questions:
01. How's the overall build quality and fit/finish?
02. Is the bottom casing rigid with no flex? I think Toshiba said it's magnesium alloy.
03. Does the screen have any 'sparkle' effect or 'dirty' whites or 'dark edges'?
04. Is the display bright, or just average?
05. Is there any keyboard flex? If so, where on the keyboard and how bad is it?
06. Does Toshiba use the OmniPass software with the Fingerprint reader, or do they use their own? If so, is it unobtrusive (blends with XP), or is it typical clunky, dated looking OEM software? Screen shots would be great!
07. Looks like the memory slots are under the keyboard. Is the keyboard easy to lift to install memory?
08. How's the heat/noise? Do the fans always run, or only when needed?
09. When an SD card is in the integrated reader, is it flush with machine, or does it stick out?
10. What brand Hard Drive and Optical Drive did you get (as shown in Device Manager)? Wondering if Toshiba is using their own.
11. Does the lid close flush with the machine, or is there a gap/jiggle when closed?
Thanks in advance!
