Re:This is cool, but DO NOTO BUY Toshiba Laptops! (Score 0)

Well it's good to know someone has had better luck. Mine was a 5105 Satellite Limited edition. It had a Geforce 4 (mobile version) chip on it. That is what was overheating on mine. I got it in about 2002 Pentium 4 2GHz. It quit working for me in 2004; don't know how long you have had yours, but beware. I have asked other Toshiba owners, I have run into about this, and they seem to confirm it. There is a large MSN group called "Toshiba 5105 Display Problem" dealing with this issue that I have been a member of for about 2 years. The other day I went to radioshack with my friend who I recommend the Toshiba to to get a laptop cooling pad. I asked the Radioshack employee if they sold a lot of those to Toshiba owners, and he said "That's funny that you ask that because I got my uncle a Toshiba recently and he has tried a number of things to keep his laptop from powering off when it gets too hot, and has had to send it back to the manufacturer several times." There is nothing I can really do about it, except try to let people know not to buy Toshiba laptops. I have heard good things about IBM thinkpads, and HP laptops. I like Dell, but have heard some stories of those overheating as well.
