My Presario X1000 (3 years old) is still okay with the hinges. We find
it durable enough that we bought HP/Compaq Presarios eversince. My
sister's using a 2-year old and my dad bought one last year (the black
one with carbon-like finish).
We also have an Acer that is 5 years old. It's still chugg

you don't need to click restore. it makes the assumption that if you don't
click on anything, you can't see it. so it automatically restores the
settings.

I lost the plastic covers hinges of my old thinkpad but the actual hinge

First thing to break (under normal use) for most laptops is the mechanical
link between the screen and the body of the laptop. Acer, toshiba, fujitsu

It's similar to the failsafe dialog in Redmon
That got me checking my card reader. The drive does work! (checked it with

Thanks for sharing the info. I missed that.

Probably hearsay.
But that said, Toshiba has some of the best local support and warranty
