We bought a Toshiba laptop T3100 and were oooing and ahhhing over the
nifty plasma display (640 X 400) when the hard disk crashed without
warning. Is this a known problem with these beasties or did we just
get a lemon? We had planned on buying several, but now I'm not so
sure ...

Our Sales force is using them on the road and at shows for customer demos and word processing. So far we have had 0 problems in either hardware or software. Compatibility has been perfect and the display has garnered rave reviews from everyone who has seen it. I imagine you got a lemon. Toshiba has promised rapid replacement of defective units, so you should contact your dealer or Toshiba. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend the Toshiba. The only drawback is the slowness of the hard disk, but that hasn't caused anyone to complain yet, so it isn't too much of a problem unless you're planning anything very disk intensive. -- Scott J.
