How old is it?

Remember the sale of goods act gives you more than just the
manufacturers warranty so you may be able to get a *free* repair for
a number of years. If, however, it was so cheap you couldn't
reasonably expect it to last very long then you may be on a hiding
to nothing.

Most of the £399 laptops are assembled by chimpanzees in coutries
where it is not illegal to train such members of the animal kingdom
and pay them by feeding them occasionally.

I tell my customers this, but they still go out and buy this garbage
instead of my Thinkpads and Toshes.

A chimpanzee let loose with a soldergun is not the best guarantee of
joint integrity, and they are so strong that they can tweak a nut to
breaking point without using a socket spanner.

As with cheap cameras, such laptops are not meant to be used, but are
just sold for effect, or as collectors items.

Be warned!

But,but...toshy's are are a load of crap,you only have to go to the forum
on the american toshiba site a see how many people are getting peeved off
because of them being made by more chimps.
