Toshiba clearly doesn’t think Windows 7 alone is good enough for its customers, so the firm’s installed its own application suite onto its latest Satellite laptop duo.
Tosh_Sat_L450 Toshiba's L450: has the smallest screen of the two, yet near-identical innards
In addition to Microsoft’s upcoming OS, the 15.6in L450 and 17.3in …
Yeah the first comment's always such a negative on the reg... pessimistic bunch aren't we!??
But literally the first thing I do with a new laptop, my own, family or friends is wipe it and install from scratch and install the drivers manually.
I'm so fed up of pre-installed rubbish registry scanners, system updaters, trial versions of MS office featuring "innovative ribbon interface" and Norton "using the internet for idiots" that its easier just to slipstream the SATA drivers myself and install from scratch.
When will a company learn that the best way is the simple way... a complete plain OS install and a driver disc that just that, a disc full of drivers for that model. Not all laptop models in a range. And no I don't want Internet Explorer powered by Samsung in the title bar of my internet windows
By providing the demos of things, the companies who provide them provide mild funding. It's minimal but it reduces the sale price of the computers. Otherwise the venders would throw on something like AVG/Avast instead of McAfee/Norton because then they can advertise lifetime virus protection. Instead it's better for them to take the money and throw on a couple months of McAfee/Norton instead.
