Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite A200-180

70% Toshiba Satellite A200-180 laptop
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Toshiba A200-180 is more of a desktop replacement PC than a slim portable laptop that can be whisked from location to location. Its considerable bulk means you won't want to carry it for long distances, while its battery life is limited. The Toshiba Satellite A200-180 lasted for just 78 minutes in our intensive tests. There are, however, some nice features to compensate. With its 1.86GHz processor, the Toshiba Satellite A200-180 is reasonably powerful and, with the help of 1GB of DDR RAM, scored an acceptable 62 points in our WorldBench speed benchmark. You also get a nice range of connectivity options (802.11a, b and g Wi-Fi are all supported), while the 6-in-1 card reader and quartet of USB ports are extremely useful. In contrast to the Toshiba Satellite A100 we reviewed recently, a 1.3Mp camera is included, although there's still no Bluetooth. And, more surprising in light of the emphasis on multimedia, no TV tuner.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

15.40":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
