I was talking to a Sony salesperson and they said the video card could not be updated. I hope you are right and they are wrong as most sale people tend to be. I would feel much more comfortable about the unit if it did have a 128 MB...

I was also considering the Sony A170. I spoke to several people and went to several websites and the new Pentium M- 2.0 GHz has a L2 2MB cache which is supposed to bring the power up to about a P4 3.6 GHz. I've never had a chance to...

I just purchased a 8790 and am having wi-fi connection problems. It seems to disconnect every 3 or 4 minutes and I have to retype the codes to get it up working again. It's just losing connection "wi-fi unavailable" suddenly....

The 2nd modular hard drive device slips into the bay where the DVD/CD ROM bay is located. The "useless" adapter that I received from Toshiba does fit physically into the bay. But no one seems to know anything about a...

Here's one that even Toshiba can't answer. I ordered a Modular Hard Drive Adapter to accomadate a 2nd hard drive. (It is supposed to slide into the DVD bay) It arrived but there was no way to install the hard drive into the modular...

I don't see very many posts for the P25 S609. Is there anyone out there who would comment on theirs. I bought one about 4 months ago and am happy with it except for the 5400 rpm hard drive. I want to install a 7200 RPM drive but called...

I agree that Toshiba's 5400 rpm hard drives are quite slow. (The 4200s are unbearably SLOW) Considering the notebook costs about $2500, it should have a 7200 rpm hard drive. I have a friend who has a Sager with a 7200 hard drive with...

I don't know if you're referring to the built in wi-fi but I never could get mine to work correctly. I have a Linksys wireless router WRTG45 and it's been great with my Toshiba P-25. Always a reliable connection. I bought the 8790 and...

It seems as though I got my wi-fi to connect and HOLD a connection for longer than 4 minutes. My next problems is this: when I shut off my computer and restart, I lose my wi-fi connection settings and have to retype in the WEP settings...
