The A200's feature set weighs in at around the middle of the pack with its 1.73GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 1GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory and a 5,400rpm 120GB hard disk drive. Granted to hit its modest AU$1,799 price point, sacrifices have been made, but it still represents good value for what's in the box. Unfortunately the first thing we noticed was that the system memory comes in a two by 512MB configuration, meaning those wanting to run 2GB for Vista will have no option but to junk both DIMMs and purchase two 1GB replacements to get to their goal.
Graphics are taken care of by NVIDIA's GeForce G7300 card, a step above Intel's own integrated product, and enough to run the Vista Aero interface, but pretty average for anything more intensive. The machine returned a score of 655 under 3DMark, and given Toshiba sells it as a desktop replacement primarily designed to sit powered by mains, something with a bit more grunt even at a greater price would have been more appreciated. If graphics are your biggest motivating factor, The PSPBGA-01X015 version of the A200 includes the bigger brother NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 for better 3D performance.
Because of its sub AU$2,000 price tag, this model forgoes flashy features like a next-gen optical format such as HD-DVD or Blu-ray. It's not strictly a gaming PC, but you shouldn't have any trouble running less demanding games from the last few years on it.
Like most consumer notebooks it includes a 1.3-megapixel digital camera built into the lid facing the user, a bit big brother, but handy for video conferencing with family and friends or recording YouTube clips of that cute thing your pet does that no one cares about.
Toshiba throws in a biometric fingerprint reader for added security; it's not a deal signer, but it is a nice little extra for the security conscious, or those with bad memories for passwords.
Design
The chassis is finished in a two-tone silver/black combination. The top of the lid is finished in a glossy bluish metallic paint and while attractive is a real fingerprint catcher.
Rather than being hinged by the top edge of the lower clam-shell as is often done, it's attached at the desk level and as a result means there's no room for rear I/O ports. The A200 isn't particularly legacy friendly (which isn't a huge loss unless you're still using with parallel printers or serial mice -- and if you are, get with the times!)
The left hand side of the chassis houses your video options with VGA and S-Video out, Ethernet port, two USB ports, a 4-pin FireWire connector and Express Card slot. The right has an additional two USB ports and the DVD burner optical drive. The latter ports are particularly handy for right-handed mousers looking to plug in an external device for long desk use sessions.
The touchpad while responsive is just a tad too small given all the unutilised space above the keyboard where the speakers and quick launch buttons live.
The screen is coated with a glossy finish, and does a good job showing off Vista's new user interface. Movies look great, although turning down the lights exposed some nasty contrast ratio and viewing angle issues with the display.
Performance
Returning just shy of 3300 PCMarks, it offers solid day-to-day functionality, and would suit office productivity applications and play on the side.
While the DVD playback was quite good in ambient lighting, dipping the lights accentuated the flaws in its contrast ratio and viewing angle -- blacks not quite true and some detail that went missing in poorly lit scenes if you tilted your head too far. That said, this model does offer something we can't often say about notebooks -- it has exceptionally good quality sound for a portable. We're pleased to say it lacks that horrible tinny sound we've come to expect, instead producing a clear and sharp movie soundtrack.
Given this product is designed to spend its life perched on a desk, with the option of portability; we didn't hold huge hopes for the battery run time. At maximum brightness and performance the A200 ran for just over an hour and a half, well short of finishing our DVD movie test. Dropping the display brightness to minimum (which is still quite easily read) and giving the unit an easier reader test yielded an extra hour, for a total of two and a half hours of run time. It's not stellar, but does offer enough juice to get some work or play done on the go.

MacBooks come with an Apple remote.
Better bang-to-buck ratio
The most advanced and affordable Mac notebook ever gives you a blazingly fast mobile architecture in a beautiful design that costs less than slower, clunkier models. It's like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Talk about performance--MacBook is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with speeds revving up to 2.0 GHz. And all models pack a performance-enhancing 4 MB of shared L2 cache.
Pack more punch
In bright white or sleek black, MacBook supports up to 2 GB of memory and plenty of storage. That's not all. MacBook keeps you untethered courtesy of built-in Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range as the previous generation. An 8x double-layer-burning SuperDrive--standard equipment on the 2.16 GHz models--not only lets you burn DVDs faster but lets you burn capacious double-layer media.
The magnetically connected MagSafe power adapter breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the MacBook, if you trip over the cord.
Friends for iLife
Every MacBook comes with iLife '06--an amazing suite of applications that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share entire high-res photo albums with anyone who's got an email address. Record your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into indie filmmaking with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the stuff you made on your MacBook and share it on the web in one click with iWeb. Just turn on your MacBook and you're halfway there.
iLife comes with iPhotos, which makes sharing photos faster, simpler, and cooler than ever before.
All smiles
Look closely. See that little lens in the display bezel? That's the built-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking a buddy icon (or three). Or fire up Photo Booth and take a few snapshots with the iSight, play around with 16 fun effects, then admire your handiwork. That little camera lets you create web-ready videos, too. Just open up iMovie and start the action. From there, iWeb makes it one-click easy to get your talking head on the web. Looks like fun.
Take it on tour
MacBook also features Front Row, so you can navigate your movies, music, photos, and more at the touch of the included Apple Remote--no matter where you roam. Give an impromptu vacation photo slideshow in your favorite café. Screen your latest iMovie creation on the train. Watch a DVD in bed. MacBook and Front Row give you the best seat in the house (or out of it).
Positively brilliant
Thanks to a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display, MacBook provides the perfect combination of pixels and portability. Photos feel crisper. Movies play vividly. Even daily tasks like surfing the web and checking email take on a whole new sheen.
Hit the hot spots
The built-in wireless capability of MacBook puts the "world" back in "World Wide Web". If there's a wireless hot spot nearby, you can get online. No need to waste valuable surfing time configuring your computer. Just open it up. MacBook automatically detects wireless networks within range and asks nicely if you'd like to join any of them. That's it. Catch up on your blog, share this weekend's trip as a Photocast, or just chat with your friends. Anytime, anywhere.

Here is some information that I copied from a retail site:
The 16x Dual Format, Double Layer DVD Recorder ushers DVD Recording into a new era. The Memorex DVD Double-Layer Drive records to single layer (4.7 GB) DVD+/-R discs at the ultimate speed of 16x, so you can burn an entire disc a full two hours of video in approximately six minutes. The drive also burns to double layer DVD+R discs at 4x speed. Double layer discs offer 80 percent more recording capacity than current single layer discs, allowing users to save 8.5 GB of extended length movies, music and sporting events in DVD-quality picture resolution.

This is in very very very good shape, I alone used this computer for 8 months.
New Mother board and battery were installed 10 days back.
Why I am selling this:
As it has problem with heating and battery, recently I Have sent it to the HP for repair (under the warranty), they replaced the mother board and Battery. As they were not able to repair my notebook within a specified time, they have given me new computer with better configuration as replacement. At the same time they sent my repaired computer and Also charged my card for the old computer. As I don't need 2 computers, I would like to sell my used computer.
Why this is a Good deal:
1. New Computer with this configuration cost you around $650. Even though My computer is a used one, I Maintained it very very well.
2. As Mother board been installed 10 days back, its almost new computer(mother board includes heat sink, fan, processor, ram, other ICs etc).
3. New Battery was installed 10 days back. (Now I am getting nearly 3hrs on power saver more).
4. After replacing Mother board its working So Cool, (I tested it by using for 16 hrs continuously, it did not get heat even a bit). I even tested by using 30+ applications simultaneously, still very cool
5. As I am a computer professional, I tweaked the Vista home premium OS, Killed unnecessary processes, installed SP1. So Now computer is working as fast as XP.
6. It includes:
Mcafee full security suite.
MS Office 2007
vista Home Premium
Very good registry Cleaner (to speedup the comp in the future)
It has got Other very cool software.

The other is a Sony Vaio model PCG-V505EX. The screen is cracked and the power plug is broken. It includes a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, battery and power supply. I was able to get this to boot up a while ago using an external monitor, but I had to wiggle the power plug. It DOES NOT INCLUDE a hard drive or memory chips. It also has a Windows XP key on the bottom.
The last picture shows the following:
- PII 400MHz system. This system is just the motherboard, chip, case, power supply and floppy drive.
- PII 300MHz - This has all the internal cards. Everything BUT a hard drive and memory is included. This also has an internal zip drive and CD-ROM.
- 2 HP Celeron systems - One is missing the front. I believe they are 450 or 500 MHz. No hard drives or memory is included with these. They are just the motherboard, chip, case and power supply.
- Pentium 1 system. All BUT hard drive and memory in this.
