Excellent player overall
First I want to say that I really love this player. It looks great even turned off (though the bright red led surrounding the power button can be a little disconcerting at first). The upscaling on standard def DVDs is great and, of course, HD-DVDs look great. If your TV supports 1080p, I strongly suggest this player over the HD-A2, as the 1080p output makes a big difference (I tried both). I have mine hooked up using the optical digital output, though the sound will be even more spectacular with an HDMI connection. I really like that, by hooking up the ethernet cable in the back that I can down load firmware updates directly.

Outstanding
What a difference a year makes. A year ago, as a first-gen HD DVD player the HD-A20 probably would have drawn raves. Toshiba has done an outstanding of updating its first-gen HD DVD players and continually refining the performance in general of all its HD DVD players. If this player were to offer a more refined 1080p/60 output, or a true 1080p/24 output the tables would certainly turn. Until then, I'm afraid that for me the HD-A20 merely drove home the superb value and fantastic performance of both the HD-A2 and the HD-XA2.

Perfectly competent HD DVD player
0 out of 1 users found this review usefulThe Toshiba HD-A20 is a perfectly competent HD DVD player, but it's not worth the extra money when compared to the budget Toshiba HD-A2.

Ultraportable projector-and-screen combo is a good fit for
The TDP-FF1AU package is good for one-on-one sales demos or personal presentations in an office cubicle or small meeting room. But for displaying bigger images to larger audiences in rooms with ambient light, a standard-size, more versatile SVGA portable that weighs a few pounds more than the Toshiba can deliver brighter, sharper images for the same price--or less.

Tiny, Portable, Quiet, but not the brightest.
It's SMALL. There's the little picture of it sitting in someone's hand... that's for real. It's dinky. Now, don't expect a lot of bells and whistles on this little guy. The lumen rating is a bit on the low side; requiring either a dark room or a high-reflection screen. The only real knocks against it, to me, are the low brightness and the resolution.

Small in size and highly portable
If you want the small size and high portability that you can get only with LED-based projectors, the TDP-FF1AU offers more features than any other current choice, and it costs less, too. That makes it the clear winner—and the first Editors' Choice—in its category.

Interesting projector
This tiny projector is about the size of the Boxlight and Mitsubishi models, but its battery has a better design. Instead of sitting below the projector, it attaches to the unit’s rear panel, barely increasing the overall footprint. The battery is thus an integral yet detachable part of the device. More important, it is included in the projector’s already low price. The key strength of a battery-powered projector is the ability to use it alone, without a laptop. To make this possible, the TDP-FF1AU includes a USB Type A connector, which means you can run a presentation off a USB flash memory drive, or even from certain MP3 players.

overall a good laptop, but little heavy and slightly slow
nice and sturdy key board. excellent harmon kardon speakers. since we just use it for MS - office and internet, this laptop met our basic needs so no major problem. still I sometimes wish, if it could perform little faster..

Nice computer but no gamer
Very nice desk top replacement computer for a reasonable price. Thought I was getting something I could play games on but with only 32 processor it won't play my game. Guess I should have checked it out more carefully. Screen is bright and clear and keyboard is easy and funtional.

If you're looking for a Vista notebook that will satisfy most of your productivity and entertainment needs, this is a solid choice. Just don't expect a barn burner.
