Toshiba's have known over-heating problems...just my 2 cents.

Looks like the same configuation as A200-06V. Was sold for $549 before Christmas.

You can do better. This unit only has 120GB HDD and 1 GB RAM.

Don't go by the 'save $xxx', as this is usually misleading.

The overheating was so severe in my a100, it melted part of my power supply.

I won't even go into details about how many times the damn thing just randomly shut off due to overheating. Trying to watch a movie? Overheats at least 2 times. What a piece of junk.

I have to give Toshiba credit for at least one thing though; their motherboards are bulletproof. The amount of random hard shut downs that my laptop has gone through, you'd think it would be fried by now. The damn thing still boots up!

I should also add, due to the mass heat, the casing above the keyboard and beside the power button has completely warped. Looks terrible..
