I used a laptop for a few weeks and I had a bad surprise. It works good only with Vista because only Vista knows how to cool it properly. I tryed XP, Ubuntu 7.10, 8 alpha and Vista and only Vista knows how to cool it properly. The laptop is a Toshiba and this is a fact that I found it on a Toshiba forum. It is weired how Toshiba chooses to promote Vista. lm-sensors can't find the cpu fan and the temperature is 100 degrees celsius. So I had to quit using Ubuntu on that laptop. : ( Toshiba will deffenetly not be my choice for a laptop.

Toshiba is the only vendor that had this problem until now(from my experience I worked with Dell, Acer and Toshiba). The most intreresting thing is that my thread where I disscussed about the heating problem had dissepeared from the Toshiba forum. :)) I guess someoane really didn't liked that I figured out that my Toshiba Sattelite L30 PSL33E doesn't support other OS that Vista(not even XP). My other posts are still there, just the heating problem disseppeared. :)) </body> </html>
