Good Points: It's inexpensive, light, and has a reasonable screen.
Bad Points: It's very slow, and appears to lock up, with even basic programs.
General comments: I have found this notebook to be quite reliable, even when my children have stood on it. It is reasonably styled, and is quite light. The battery seems to run flat in about 20 minutes, so you need to carry it around with the power lead.
The air vents are on the bottom, just where your knees would go if you placed it on your lap, so you can't actually use it on your lap - you have to use it on a taletop.
I updraged the memory from 512Mb to 2Gb, which seems to have improved the speed.
All in all, I would suggest that it is an inexpensive portable desktop PC.

Ok well the price is good and thats about it, I've had this laptop for a total of 3 years now, which at a glance you would think made it fairly hardy? WRONG. this laptop has cost more money to maintain than it did to begin with in my experience, I've been through a total of 6 chargers, which if brought off toshiba directly would've cost £80 a time, within a year the motherboard was totally fried, the memory had overfilled within a week of me having it, the laptop struggles with even runni ...

Very effective, good looking computer that is light and has good value for money. Well recommend Toshiba Equium L20-197, the only bad thing I have to say about this Toshiba Laptop is it is quite slow in my experience, but apart from that it is great value for money.

I think the Toshiba Equium L20-197 is an ok laptop and as it is quite cheap. I think is value for money I have brought a ram upgrade which has increased the speed and only cost around £30

Toshiba did a job of trying to get the Equium L20 laptop into the less than £500 margin, and they cut corners by doing so, which I am afraid the L20 suffers with. It is a real shame as it looks the part, but it is so slow.

I would not recommend the Toshiba Equium L20-197 laptop, as it's so slow. I've been using my old Acer Aspire, which is more stable and much faster.
