Don't ever buy a Toshiba Laptop

**Will** · 13-07-2008, 02:04 PM

I bought a Qosmio G30 about two years ago, and at the time I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. However today the graphics chips have fried themselves, and my display was showing some serious problems with the computer.

After hardly any searching on the net, I found this page, and to my amazement found I was just one in a long list of mugs who bought this highly expencive paperweight.

My Toshiba Qosmio G30 suddenly developed the green screen problem - Ask Laptop Freak

I can't stress enough how important it is you never buy anything from this company.

Toshiba seems to have really gone downhill. I bought one of their laptops back in the mid-90s, and it still works ok (I have Doom 2 installed on it, which I still have the occasional urge to play).
If they can't turn out decent products anymore, I'll give them a wide birth.

Well I bought my Toshiba Equium a few months ago and it's brilliant! Goes like greased lightenining, however did come with Vista

Boo!

Don't knock ALL Toshibas just 'cos yours is on the blink!

I'm not, I'm knocking it because hundreds of the same model have gone on the blink.
