My main laptop is a Toshiba P25-S477 (10 pound monster with a 17" screen), and it's the biggest and hottest power hog I've ever owned. Of course, it's a desktop replacement with all the bells and whistles. The bottom surface has THREE little fan inlets (1 1" and 2 1.5"), and the airflow leaves the case by way of a bank of copper heatsinks visible through slots in the rear edge. The reason this one is not recommended for laps is that fabric or your skin is going to block those fan inlets and then it overheats inside. But it automatically slows down the CPU to make it cooler if that happens, and will shut off if you ignore the warnings.

As with all brands, there are variations within their designs. The P25 series is very power hungry (140 Watts - too much to even use the power adapter in airplanes that have the seat power plugs, because they max out at 120 Watts).

Agreed. This is my fifth Toshiba, but not because they're all cool.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
