None - it always shutdown before we could find any good points
Always shuts down either on boot-up or in windows
Very slow
Clunky
Heavy
Please leave on the shelf and walk away. You will save yourself a lot of time and grief
We bought the A100-338 laptop, thinking that with the Toshiba name we couldn't go wrong. How wrong we were. From Day one the Toshiba was very slow operating. Then it happened ...the Dreaded Blue Screen with a message saying there is "A serious error, so your laptop will be shutdown to prevent further damage".
For several days we tried everything - rebooting, starting up in safe mode. Sometimes we did get into Windows, but then it would always freeze up again and shutdown. Took it back to PC World and they restored the machine, but a day later the sudden shutdown happened again.
PC world admitted the Laptop was a dead loss. So we got a refund for the Toshiba, and paid a little extra for a Compaq laptop which we are very happy with
A friend of mine said that whilst working at Network Rail the company had such a nightmare with Toshiba machines, they completely banned any further Toshiba PC purchases.
