Advantages: Looks great, fast speeds, good memory

Disadvantages: Battery life

I got my laptop August 2007, primarily for University work. I'm computer literate, but not particularly technically minded so when buying, one of the things I was looking for was for it to be aesthetically pleasing. In my opinion, the Toshiba A200 definitely is. I've had it for some time now and had no real problems with it at all - I frequently run several programmes at once and it is generally very fast. Similarly, although I have an external hard drive for back-up I have found the memory to be really quite large, I still have not exceeded the total memory and I have a great number of photo, videos & music files.
The only thing I would say is that I have a friend who has exactly the same laptop but in a larger screen size, and while this isn't a real problem if there is not much difference in price between the two I would probably say go for the larger screen size because it would be worth it when watching movies etc.
Also, the battery life is not fantastic - generally I have to charge it up after every couple of hours but I don't know what that is like in comparison to other laptops.

Summary: Would definitely recommend to others
