    The Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 is good for development but with win xp and home users instead of desk top.

    The good thing is that it has desktop processor which is must faster so need to worry about the speed.

    Heavy, no wifi, battery will gone after 4 years, no good for games.
    Resolutions:
    1. extend the ram first and you will see the big difference in speed.
    2. use the ecternal wifi adopter or smart card

    3. Buy the adopter which will hold the battery upto 4 hrs.

    This is great little unit, I busted the lid hinge on one side but it still carries on after 4 years of service. Can't find a reason to change it yet

    The over heating can be easily fixed in seconds, remove top keyboard cover flap unscrew two keyboard screws, take out the keyboard (fold it over) remove 3 fan screws and take out the fan under there you will find loads and I mean loads of dust and fluff, well I did.
    Remove and it will be great for another 4 years.

    I still like my laptop and would be keeping it if it weren't for the RAM issue. I bought it as a student, and it was perfect for what I needed. I run many programs on it, (obviously not more than 2 at a time) including Photoshop7, Photopaint, CorelDraw 11, Microsoft Office, itunes and a load of other tat. It is an ideal as someone's first laptop, or if you want to write an essay whilst surfing the net and listening to music. (It can do it.....I did)

    Disappointed that it is so slow and there is insufficient RAM to allow something as simple as the BT Yahoo Security package to work. More RAM so is required.

    Nice laptop, bit pricey originally but still holding its own against some newer models. Recommended as a good laptop for students/home use.

    Toshiba need to do better with this one. Start-up screen says "In touch with tomorrow". But this machine is more interested in hanging on to the past. Performance is not refined enough for 3.0GHz class.

    It's not even wireless enabled, and I've got the Linkysys internet thing, and it hasn't worked at all.

    This is my second laptop. It's going back to Toshiba for the second time.

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop keeps overheating and crashing etc. It is rubbish!

    I have had the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop for over 6 months now and it was working great when I got it. Over time the exhaust fan seemed to get louder and louder. As a graphics and website designer, this computer is good for the simple things. When it comes down to doing anything graphically intensive, like playing a game that requires the use of the video card's abilities, the computer overheats and crashes without warning. In order to prevent this from occurring I have had to prop up the ...

    The Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop is ideal for entry level home users, and possibly students who have some time on their hands to sort stuff out. I wouldn't say it was suitable for the lower end of the business market, as Toshiba seem to be targeting with this product. I could be wrong however, maybe I was just unlucky!

    I have had mine for 8 months now, after previous satellite old faithful, which I had owned for about 7 years, gave up the ghost in the middle of a project, and I needed a ...

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A60: As I carry around this machine I can't help but notice that it is extremely heavy. I don't think it is practical for a student to carry around or walk with to work on the bus for everyday use. The heat generated by the 2.8 Intel does not add to its out side use either. After about an hour sitting on your lap the heat is to intense. The battery in my experience does not last more than an hour on full charge before it starts to adjust to low battery use and at that time ...

    I find it hard to believe that this Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop is sold as a new product. I have just been given one as a work unit, and I am very disappointed. It can't run more than 1 or 2 programs at once without stalling, crashing or hanging. Forget about running anything other than Microsoft Office unless you have the patience of a saint, or a lot of time on your hands. To put this in context, I have an old Dell laptop at home, a PIII with 256MB RAM, nearly 4 years old, and it trounces ...

    Decided to spend a few days checking out the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 before I wrote a review.

    I went for the 14" screen as I wanted to save money in case I needed to upgrade to the 512 meg of ram.

    Downsides/Quibbles.

    Windows XP home is okay but not as good as XP Pro that I`m used to.

    Battery life. I know it says three hours but unless you turn the screen off and don`t use it you`ll not get three hours. As mine will be plugged in at home, this doesn`t cause a problem, but if you ...

    I really needed a laptop for work and uni but my budget was somewhat limited but after finding a really good deal on the Satellite Pro A60, I opted for it. I was very happy with it the moment I got it. The blue shell is a very nice change from common-rail grey. The software was pre-installed and Toshiba generously still provided a backup recovery disk.
    The 2.66GHz Celeron D processor works rather quickly but it must be said that it is let down by its rather low 192MB of RAM. Multi-tasking is d ...

    When using the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 an extra 256Mb of ram is essential, but as the 14" model is now only £479 allow £25 for a 256Mb upgrade and disable Nortons Firewall. At an overall cost less than £600 I think it is good value.
