Amazon.com Product Description

A great choice as a second computer for business travelers on the go, the Toshiba Portege 4000 might not be as fully packed as today's robust notebooks, but it can still get the job done. Plus, at just 4.4 pounds, it's easy to travel with. You'll be able to keep up with communications at the home office thanks to the built-in 54g wi-fi LAN, as well as Bluetooth wireless connectivity (enabling you to transfer data between the PC and cell phones or PDAs). This notebook offers a 750 MHz Intel Pentium III processor, 20 GB hard drive, 128 MB of installed RAM (1 GB maximum), DVD-ROM drive, and the Windows 2000 operating system.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The 20 GB hard drive is small in comparison to contemporary business-oriented notebooks (where 80 GB is becoming more the standard). However, it's just enough room for loading a business productivity suite and storing a goodly amount of spreadsheets, documents, and presentations.

Processor: The older 750 MHz Intel Pentium III processor provides the biggest savings for this budget notebook. While not speedy or robust enough to handle heavy duty multimedia processing, it's stable and nimble enough for basic business-oriented software. It also features a 100 MHz front-side bus and 256 KB L2 cache.

Memory: The 128 MB of installed RAM is just adequate for word processing tasks, but you'll want to maximize the 1 GB limit (PC133 SDRAM) to give yourself better productivity.

CD/DVD Drive: It has an old-school DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive that enables you to watch DVD movie discs and listen to CDs (but it's not capable of burning any discs).

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook offers a standard 84-key keyboard with 12 function keys (2mm keystroke, 4.8mm height) and an integrated AccuPoint II pointing device. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 12.1-inch screen has a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution, and the built-in Trident CyberBlade XP graphics controller offers 16 MB of SDRAM video memory--enough to power an external monitor with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. It also offers built-in speakers and an integrated audio card that's compatible with SoundBlaster Pro and Microsoft DirectSound3D.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This notebook features an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots). And with the Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can synchronize and transfer files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs. It offers the following connection options: <ul>

2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

2 PC Card slots that support two Type II or one Type III PC Card

1 Slim SelectBay (for adding an extra battery or hard drive)

1 Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot

1 fast infrared port </ul> It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This Portege 4000 comes with the Windows 2000 operating system, which is outdated in the world of XP but is still a fairly powerful system.

Dimensions and Weight
Perfect for portability, this notebook weighs 4.4 pounds and measures 10.6 x 9.8 x 1.5 inches (WxDxH).

Power
It's powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that has up to a 3-hour battery life (depending on usage).

What's in the Box
This package contains the Toshiba Portege 4000 notebook PC (model PP400U-000820), rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It is backed by a 6-month limited hardware warranty.

Terrible Tech Support.......2004-01-06

Toshiba may make good products, but their support is the worst i have ever come across. They have lost my laptop for over a month now and do not care a lick about it. They're tech support team is in Turkey and they dont care a thing about anybody. They kept hanging up on me and refused to help me saying it will take some time. When i called back- no one knew anything and had zero updates. DO NOT BUY TOSHIBA PRODUCTS! Get a Gateway or Dell instead...two companies that actually care about their customers.
