I've had several shit runs with Toshiba recently. Let's see...
Newer Toshiba - 64-bit system - dual core, Intel 965, HARD LIMIT TWO GIGS OF RAM.
Older Toshiba - 32-bit system - dual core, Overclockable Intel 945 (and it stomps the shit out of the 965 once brought to the original design spec clock speed of 400MHz vs 166 MHz and does so with almost ZERO increase in thermals) and can have a maximum of 4GB of RAM.
That's pretty shitty as far as I'm concerned. Thoughtless hardware limitations, newer hardware that's WEAKER than a prior-gen model FOR MORE CASH, and their DC jacks fucking SUCK (I've just hard-soldered the power adapters to the board to fix that problem.)
Their batteries are equally shit, more prone to heat degradation even moreso than HP, and HP is the king of hot fucking laptops.
