Toshiba L300-08T

MAMA50

Found this laptop is on sale right now.  The price is right for me.  The purposes are web surfing for myself and doing homework for my 10 yr old kid.  Is it worth to buy and reliable?

Thanks in advance!

For $649, I would get a Compaq instead because I have nothing buy problems with L300 and L350.

pkphilip,

I'm confused. L300 and L350 are Toshiba series..... so which brand is better in terms of reliability? Compaq or Toshiba?

Thank you.

I work in a Toshiba ASP, the L300 and L350 is the budget notebook targeted for lower-end market. I really don't like them both because of their cheap plastic look and performance. They also have problems in Vista too. Toshiba is known to have LCD problems, it can be in the inverter, panel or the cable... just annoying.

Compaq is a more tested and proven notebooks from HP. I like HP more than any other brands.
