Chiclet Keyboard usage on Toshiba notebooks

Why are chiclet keyboards taking place so much? I don't like the new island-syle for keyboards so, why not to give a double choice (classic keyboard / chiclet keyboard) to consumers?

As far as I know Sony uses such keyboards for the long time and it doesnt look so bad. Design is nice and I love it very much.
We as customers can make decision which product we want to have so you can check different Toshiba notebook models, test it a bit in show rooms and make decision which keyboard is he best for you.

Toshiba notebook for music production

Hi,
I'm looking for a good notebook to run cubase sx and many told me about Toshiba, but it seems that they have many audio/fan problems so I'd like to know if these kinds of problems are present in every model or only in satellite. I'm going to buy a Toshiba Tecra A7-239 what do you think about it?
Thanks a lot! Bye

Maybe I am really stupid for PC technology but fact is that I use Toshiba notebooks almost 10 years. I have used all of them for my every day work, video editing and creating own movies or DVDs, sometimes gaming, chat or video conference and I have never but really never had any problem except virus two times. After usage of recovery media everything was fine again.
For you I can just say that you should check Tecra A8. it is newest notebook but at the moment there is special Toshiba offer (warranty and repair). I do not know where you live but please pick up some info by your local dealer.

Hate chiclet keyboards

Considering purchase of a 700-414 but much prefer classic IBM-type keyboard to chiclet keyboard that comes standard with this system. Does HP sell a wireless classic-type keyboard for use with the 700 series? If not, are non-HP keyboards P&P compatible?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Since Paul did not have specific suggestions or recommendations,
I will offer a few Buying Hints ... from my recent keyboard upgrades (and frustrations) over the past 2 years.
1. Wireless keyboards (currently sold) can be grouped into 2 categories:
Bluetooth compliant and 2.4 GHz proprietary wireless.
2. Bluetooth compliant Keyboards and Mice are largely targeted for Laptop and Tablet (largely Android) usage.
The selection of models is limited for Desktop Bluetooth keyboards.
Since both of my desktops are Bluetooth 4.0 capable, this was a great disappointment.
3. Proprietary Wireless (2.4 GHz) are largely provided by HP and Logitech (Unify).
I have NOT found the 2 company solutions to be interoperable. :-(
4. HP has not "Branded" its Wireless keyboard/mouse technology, and there is little documentation about the solution or its interoperability with other HP keyboards..
5. Logitech brands their wireless keyboard/mouse solution: Unify

Logitech Unify Keyboards

====
I use the HP SK-2885 USB keyboard (wired) and a Logitech M-510 wireless mouse on both of my home office computers.
The mouse requires the Unifying Receiver (USB dongle) to be inserted into a spare USB 2.0 port.
I have kept the wired keyboard, for the ability to bring up UEFI (F2) at power up, when I desire.
I have an old Logitech Click! wireless mouse that I love --
BUT it is not Unify compliant. It requires its own proprietary USB receiver for operation.
SO, it is now retired.
Still keeping an eye open for a wireless keyboard -- BUT have not found one that I like.
At this point, it would need to be either Unify or Bluetooth compliant

I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook. Is there Apple software that will work on the notebook allowing me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents that I've placed in Dropbox?

I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook. Anyone know if there is Apple software that will work on the Toshiba that will allow me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents when I access them in Dropbox?
Maybe I should just always export from Pages into Word (and likewise for the other types) before I upload to Dropbox? I hope not!!

If you don't want to export files and consider the Microsoft formats to be your basic working format, then you need to consider either using MsOffice for Mac or LibreOffice instead of the iWork suite.
You could always run a virtualised OSX on the Toshiba, but I don't think Apple will appreciate me telling you how to do that.

Solaris 8 on Toshiba Notebook

I?m buying a Toshiba notebook to run Solaris 8 and Windows 2000. My options of buying are: Toshiba Satellite 1800-S253 or 3000-S353. Is Solaris 8 compatible with one of these models, including graphic applications ?
Thanks for answers.

I would send a request to Technical for Toshiba on their help page at

They should be more knowledgeable about specific platform issues. Also go to the HCL documentation to look up EQ

Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD

Our household now has two x Toshiba laptops, both of which were supplied with MS Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
The nature of the Recovery Media provided with these machines is such that (a) we do not have sufficient flexibility over volume/partition sizes, program locations etc., and, more specifically.
It makes it necessary for the majority of the bundled software (Norton Security etc.,) to be installed by default in the event of a system failure. (And immediately uninstalled following recovery! An unnecessary waste of time.)
Bearing in mind that a proportion of the price paid for each laptop must have included a cost for the Vista Operating System, does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a Master Recovery disk which ONLY consists of the operating system, and which allows us the flexibility of configuration which used to be available when the OS was purchased as a separate product.
Additionally, please let me know if it is possible to purchase Toshiba laptops as a RAW machine, i.e no OS supplied, and I will then buy my own and cut out the rubbish which is supplied on the pre-installed media.

>Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD?
The answer is very simple: software is bundled to hardware and when you buy notebook you buy license for preinstalled Vista version and you can install recovery media so often you want and it belongs JUST to your notebook model. It cannot be used with other notebook or PCs.
If you get usual Vista installations DVD it can be installed on each computer system. For such purposes you must buy Microsoft installations DVD.
As you already wrote Toshiba recovery image contains much software that can be not useful for you. You can remove it from the system and nobody force you to use them. I do the same.
After clean OS installation the first thing I do is to remove or software I don't need or I don't like.
I optimise preinstalled OS on my own.

Reverse question Can the W530 chiclet keyboard be installed in a W520

Hello,
I had the opportunity to try out the T530 / W530 chiclet keyboard and really liked it
I have bit of a reverse question
Can a new chiclet type keyboard be installed in a W520 and would the bios have to be changed
for key mapping etc..
Thanks in advance for your help

It won't fit due to a slightly different surrounding bezel. And even if it did fit (or you replaced the bezel which would allow it to fit), then BIOS wouldn't support it anyway - key mapping problems.

Toshiba notebook registration reminder has stopped working

Hi
everytime I open my laptop it shows "Toshiba notebook registration reminder has stopped working"
How can I fix that?

Hello
Do you need the registration reminder? I dont think so if you have already registered your notebook
Easiest way is you disable the program from start up Navigate to start > run > msconfig and select start up tab. Then search for registration reminder and uncheck the box.
Afte restarting the computer it shouldnt appear anymore. Can you confirm this?

Thinkpd Chiclet keyboard wears extremely quickly

Hi there.
I've been using my Thinkpad S440 for about a month now, and I've noticed some significant wear on the keyboard keys, especially keys I use a lot like the space bar. I usually work with clean hands and haven't used it that much, and degrease the keyboard frequently with keyboard degreaser... Anyone else who has this problem? In most situations with a reasonable ammount of natural or especially artificial light, the keyboard looks like it's at least 5 years old... I think this is a very poor design choice. All the things about the new keyboards aside (I think the chiclet keyboard types fine), this is really bothering me.

Airport Base Station and Toshiba Notebook

I've got a Powerbook G4 and an HP Pavillion which both work just fine with the base station. However, we acquired a Toshiba Notebook and cannot connect to the internet. Signal Strength is excellent, internet connection is nonexistent. I'm wondering if there is an update that's designed to fix a compatability problem....?
I've had two extensive phone calls with Toshiba's tech support already...and they both thought that the problem was with the ip address (assigned by Apple). They suggested also, trying to find a wi-fi hot spot to see if we can connect. The problem is stated below:
- Caller advised that she cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.
- Asked the caller to turn ON wireless switch : its already turned ON
- Asked the caller to access wireless zero configuration : it is already started
- Asked the caller to look at available wireless networks
- Computer is connected but it does not have a valid ipaddress and default gateway.
- Asked the caller to do a power reset on the computer, router and dsl modem.
- Asked the caller to key in the network key to the network.
- Configured a static ipaddress : nogo
- Asked the caller to do an ipconfig : nogo
- Customer does not have another access point.
- Advised the customer to try to access a hot spot.
- Gave SR Number
Having the same problem with her Toshiba notebook that is dedicated to a wireless airport.
Verified call log history.
Do the diagnosis by checking the wireless network setup; signal is good;
Verified the ip, set to static; redo dynamic mode then repaired. But still unable to pull up a valid ip address even the signal is good.
Tried settin up a static ip came from the host but still no reply. Decided to redo the configuration including the ping test but still no reply.
Verified the firewall configurations, still off.
We are suspecting that the problem is concerning upon mac address registration for this notebook to your gateway.
Airport Base Station Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am using WEP (haven't a clue what that means).
It means that you are using a password to secure your wireless network from unauthorised use.
I
found that info under my Wireless Security: 128 bit
WEP, My choices to Change Wireless Security do not
include something called HEX.
If you read the guides it will tell you how to find the HEx key for your 128bit WEP encryption.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.
I have 3 choices:
Not Enabled
WPA Personal
WPA Enterprise
If your Toshiba supports WPA then I would recommend using WPA Personal in order to avoid the problems with the WEP HEX key. However your Macs must be running 10.3 or later to use WPA.
The Toshiba still won't recognize the
internet....but shows "excellent signal strength"
with my network.
Generally what this means that your Toshiab can see the wireless network, but is not connected to it.
At this point, I'm a little gun shy to try a change
to WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise....what is a HEX
Key, anyway?
The HEX key is the hexadecimal password of the plain text password you created for the Airport network.
