    my parents bought me this laptop for my birthday. its fast, works well and is perfect for what i use it for - music, storing of photos and homework. my only complaint is the battery life, i now plug it in every time i use it. the battery will say 1 hour remaining, and ten minutes later have only 20 minutes. other than that, i love this computer.

    does it heat up at the left side of the touch pad like mine? Anonymous -- 30/09/09 (in reply to #320204216)

The good:
  • Good keyboard response
  • Nice screen display
  • Embedded webcam
  • Volume wheel, rather than buttons
The bad:
  • Average performance
The bottomline:

Toshiba's M200 feels great to use at a physical level, but doesn't really stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.

Editors’ rating:

7.3/10
