Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of purchasing a refurbished Toshiba P25-607 which is just around my price range. I've done an extensive research into this product and obviously with all products, there are issues and problems.
However, my main concern is that a quite a fair share of users have had problems with Windows MCE 2002 (which I understand comes pre-installed with the P25-607). Does anyone know anything bout this ? Is it possible to upgrade the MCE 2002 to 2004 free ? I read on the Microsoft site that this is possible simply by upgrading to XP Service Pack 2 or run a critical update.
Basically, is MCE 2002/2004 reliable ? Any crashes or wiping-out-entire-hard-disk kinda thing issues ? Would it be possible to replace the OS with traditional XP Professional instead ?
Please advise guys as the OS is the only thing holding me back from buying this bad boy (P25-607) !
Should I or should I not ? 'Cos last thing I need is hellish breakdown issues, losing all my years work of data, spending months arguing with notorious Toshiba techies, and smashing my laptop due to uncontrolled outrage and insanity.
