I loved this laptop. I know longer have it, but it was my first Laptop and it lasted a long time with very few problems. It is quite an old laptop now, but even for today the spec if pretty good.

The keyboard is a good size and soft touch ...

I run Windows XP and with the 1410 s processor and small amount of RAM certainly wouldn t recommend Vista. If I didn t need some windows-only software I d switch to ...

After a pretty low-profile period on the market, I think this model may already be moving to 'end of life'. It looks smart, and oddly for a Toshiba has a touch pad rather than 'The Nipple'. The over-all look is one of reasonable quality and functional design. On closer inspection, the keyboard is a bit rattley and some of the case a bit flimsy It is nice not to have any fragile clips and covers to break off though. The main attraction of the DVD35 for me is the very compact size (similar to the Sony Z600's - 12" XGA TFT screen) but the system has a built-in bay for DVD or Fdd - both modules included as standard. On top of that - which I ...
