Toshiba Portege 7020

Pros: portable, powerful, convenient with docking station
Cons: expensive, possibly buggy with NT

The Portege 7020 is powerful (Pentium II 366, 128 MB RAM) and highly portable (~1 inch thick, 3-4 pounds in weight). I also purchased the optional DVD docking station, which includes a DVD player, floppy drive, serial ports, etc. The docking station is...

Pros: light weight, sturdy, full of features
Cons: price, lack of accessories included

I work in an IS department for a company with frequently traveling executives, and the portege series has been something of a god-send to us. No longer do they complain about weight or size like they did with other laptops. No more not being able to read...

Pros: Fast, nice screen
Cons: Fragile CD-ROM drive mechanics, Windoze 95

I have one of these units for work - the work environment
is about 25% travel and 75% work at home. I keep the
DVD dock at home.

This Toshiba is a lot lighter, has a better screen, and runs
faster than the Tecra 520CDT that...

Pros: light weight, small size, powerful and comfortable to use
Cons: high price and low battery life.

My workgroup picked up five high-end laptops several months ago, and our Toshiba portege 7020CT gets used by more people, more often (I'm writing this review on it now). It's an unusual setup, in that it requires the docking station for a CDROM (a pricey...

Pros: Powerful, light, slim, easy to use, convenient, long life
Cons: No CD external, but with docking +++ docking-laptop connector pins bend

Ever traveled by air and tried to get some things done really quickly? Or sitting in a conference and want to note some things you are just listening to right into your favorite application instead of doing it again after the show?
Or what about...

Pros: Very small and light. Lots of power for the size.
Cons: Cheap keyboard, no PC card hotswap.

I go through a lot of laptops. As an IT manager, it falls to me to evaluate hardware before we pass it on to our users. In the recent past, I've used the IBM Thinkpad 600e, the HP Omnibook 4150, and currently the Toshiba Portege 7020. So far, the Toshiba...

Pros: Light, efficient, and DVD Docking station plays great quality video directly to screen or TV
Cons: Poor interoperability with docking station, suspend/resume issues as well

The 7020 + DVD Docking station is fast and light, but still has a few issues which you should be aware of before you purchase. First of all, I would highly recommend the memory upgrade to 128MB. Running Win98, NT, or Win2K on 64MB of RAM is manageable,...

Pros: Great size and form factor
Cons: Docking station has some annoying quirks

I have been using the Portege 7020CT now for about 9 months. It's a real mixed bag. I love the form factor and small size/weight - I still get ooh's and ah's when I pull it out on a plane. I did an enormous amount of searching to find the most powerful...

Pros: Light, beautiful screen
Cons: Keyboard not as good as IBM

Not a perfect machine, though its annoyances are not major. I would look at the IBM 570 also before making a final decision. However, I should mention that I got the Portege as an ex-demo machine at a very keen price - around USD1800, including CDROM...

Pros: lightweight, docking station, DVD, peripherals available
Cons: price, sometimes freezes (but rarely lately)

I have been using Toshiba laptops for years. This is my latest. I love the 7020 for a few distinguishing features; and find it's design lacking for only a few others. So, here goes:
1) The portability and lightweight nature of the laptop (without...

Pros: Light & Durable, nice LCD with good keyboard
Cons: Docking station does not support 1280x1024 @ 75HZ

This is a very light and small laptop that still packs a fair amount of power and has a nice docking station. A much improved version of the 7010 with more power and most important a larger LCD with 1024x768 resolution

I liked:
- the...

Pros: looks great!
Cons: not functional, makes noise, doesn't run smooth with windows 9x or NT

Price:$2.999
Processor:P2
Speed:366 MHz
RAM:128 MB
Hard Disk:6.4 GB

The Toshiba Portegé 7020CT looks absolutely fabulous. Great design,very thin, weighs 4 pounds and has a beautiful LCD. Alltho this is not the reason why I...

Pros: compact size, performance
Cons: docking station, modem flap

We have used the 7020 exclusively at work for about a year. While our users love the size/performance ratio of the Portege, it has become a tech support nightmare. Let's face it... getting good performance out of a laptop is relatively easy. The hard...

Pros: Very stable, Fast, Light, Looks cool
Cons: Only comes with 64MB std., shorter battery life, expensive accesories

I have been using my Portege for almost a year now, and I can honestly say that it is truly an amazing computer. The stability of the system is one of the best aspects of the computer. Toshiba really deserves credit for configuring a top-notch NT 4...

Pros: thin, lightweight, nice dock
Cons: flimsy and slow

As a preface to this review, I have owned and used a number of other ultralites: IBM Thinkpad 560X, HP Omnibook 900 and a HP Sojourn. I will make comparisons where helpful.

I found the Toshiba 7020CT to be unimpressive. My criteria for any...
