Subject: Re: Laptop Purchase
If you mean the Toshiba, there is a video problem. Right now you cannot
even read BIOS displays as all you see is some bars. I suspect something in
the character generator of the video card firmware. It could be a cable
issue (those little flat ribbon cables in laptops truly suck).

But the major problem was that this model came with a video card that ran
hot and died for MANY users. So many in fact that it got to the point you
could not even find a used one for sale.
