Toshiba M40
By Alex Kidman on 29 March 2005
The M40 boasts an impressive array of the latest notebook technologies, especially for those with a multimedia bent, although it could do with running a little quieter and cooler.

- Good: -The 6600 video card.
-No problems as of yet (2 years)
-great machine all around - Bad: -DVD drive spinup can be a bit loud, but should die down once loaded.
-case is a bit flimsy. I wouldnt try to drop it. heh.
My gf has this. Very nice piece of hardware. Laptops are known for their lack of 'gamer' ability, but the Nvidia 6600 GO on this thing is very nice. I play WoW on it all the time. If you'r a gamer, consider upgrading with another stick of 512 ram, and you're good to go. Not sure about the newest games tho, since the 6600 series is a bit dated. Still, a lot better than what i've seen from other notebooks.
- Good: -The 6600 video card.

- Good: its recovered from quite a few possible crashes for me.
the sound quality.. the speakers sound as good as any good pair of headphones.
Its fast. - Bad: The recovery disk.... u gotta wipe the hard disk to recover ur windows.
the hard disk is also hard to partition.. not very versatile.
very resilient laptop
Its a gr8 laptop, n it does keep u warm on winter nights..LOL ;-) . The only hitch I found was the all in one recovery disk that means you have to wipe ur hard disk b4 it lets you repair windows.. It handles all my graphics needs very well, n the multimedia capability is commendable.
- Good: its recovered from quite a few possible crashes for me.

- Good: Great sound, stunning display
- Bad: Addictive
Wonderful gorgeous laptop! :-)
One of the best screens around (I'd say the best), really bright, clear and sharp; Stunning sound; sleek & nice design; durable. I found it excellent for graphics work, web design, entertainment, work and everything else really :-) A pleasure to use every time! You can never get bored with this laptop! I'd say 10/10 and above! :-)

- Good: it is extremely simple to use and it have all that i need. In my modest opinion there is a pc that have all its characteristics in favour of it.
- Bad: The only thing I think that could be enhanced is the authonomy of the battery but when i need to work with the pc more than two simple hours i need to work the rest of the time with the electricity powered
This laptop is the best pc i've ever have

- Good: Biggest thing is that I was looking for a laptopl that I could use bluetooth on! Of course its one of those things you want but never use but none the less I HAVE IT! The ability to deck out the laptop was great! My last laptop which was an HP made me hate laptops, and thats about all I use day to day. With the HP I was formating almost every other month to keep it running right and now with the toshiba it has been almost a year now and still haven't done a format.
- Bad: This is a little harder, paint on the case could be stronger I already wore through it on the left touchpad button (Nothing new there). Another problem I've run into is the wireless signal is TOO strong I know how can someone say this but it was true I was picking up everyones wireless connection. After a reordering of prefered networks it seems to be working much better now.
2nd laptop in last 3years and much more impressed than with previouse laptop
MORE PROS:
-Manual Volume switch (Great for when you want to turn down the volume before you reach windows)
-Manual Wireless switch(Can turn it on and off when you feel like it)
-Memory slots in front for every thing you can think of (I don't use it) -

Could use a quicker HDD but plays Dystopia at max settings so I'm happy.
