I didn't find any references to 1800 series. On shoptoshiba.com, they start
their description of Satellite 1800-S274 with "If you're a power user who
doesn't have time for games," Are they really trying to say "the video card
(Trident Cyber Aladdin-T with 16MB UMA VRAM) sucks in this one"? Can anyone
comment on its performance compared to the NVidia cards?
One strange thing: in the PDF file "technical specs" they don't mention
anything about the modem other than that it's "integrated"!
BTW, are there any Toshiba laptops that read SmartMedia cards without extra
adapters?

P.S. I'm thinking of buying one of the 1800 models, so comments are very
welcome.
