This is my second laptop and my first was Toshiba too. The first one stayed with me for Four years and did start to die.
So I decided to purchase this during the Black Friday Deal and the price was seducing! I got it a few days ago and wow!
This laptop is worth every dollar! The only thing you might consider before purchasing is that the battery doesn't stay too long when unplugged. If you need it for home use then this is it and at an amazing price! |
Another terrific Toshiba!

| This is my 3rd laptop, 2nd Toshiba. I got one of these on Black Friday for my son, and just ordered another for myself. I love Win 7! There is very little preloaded crap to remove and it is super fast. Having the numeric keypad on the side and an amazing screen add to its sheer awesomeness. The touchpad is ultra cool. I must agree with other reviewers that the sound is lacking, but I did not purchase the laptop to be my primary music player so I still gave it 5 stars. I was shocked when I first closed the laptop, being used to ones that latch. This one doesn't latch and the tension hinge (which keeps it closed in lieu of a latch) wants to slam shut in the last few inches, whereas those that latch have to be pushed all the way closed. It survived that rough close and my 1st Toshiba, four months old and running great for my college student, survived a 3 foot drop onto carpet. If a Toshiba can survive me, it has my loyalty. |
Great laptop

After months of contemplating to purchase a new laptop to replace my old Dell latitude D600 I finally pulled the trigger. I purchased this one 3 days before Thanksgiving from Amazon. The initial purchase price was $579.99. Before it even arrived I went back to review my purchase the day after Thanksgiving and the price was now $499.99! Being a bit peeved that I just paid $80.00 more for the exact same laptop 3 days earlier I wrote and requested a refund of the difference. Amazon wrote me back and tried to make me feel guilty by saying they don't have a price guarantee but since it was just 3 days that they would go ahead and refund the difference, which they did and of which I really appreciated. The first laptop arrived and died over night! I contacted Toshiba to try and figure out why Windows would not start and was instructed to send it back. I contacted Amazon and they immediately sent a replacement.
So far this laptop has been working flawlessly. The Windows 7 is lightning fast compared to XP. It boots right up from a cold start and shuts down fast. The wireless antenna picks up connections from all over the neighborhood. Connecting to my wireless service was a snap. The battery that came with the machine was a bit weak. It didn't seem to last very long so I purchased a 9 hour battery direct from Toshiba which holds a charge for a long time. The 9 hour battery is rather big and bulky but it beats dragging around a cord. The only thing I am not too thrilled about is the speakers. They seem rather puny, I can hardly hear them. Overall, this machine and Windows 7 is a huge upgrade for me. If it lasts half as lond as the Dell did I will be happy.
I would like to add that my experience with Amazon has been outstanding with this purchase. No hassles whatsoever.

I received this laptop on december 2, and I have been on it non-stop. I love it. My favorite game (the sims 3) runs smoothly. And I love the wi-fi I wish I could give it 10 stars.
After getting to fully customize this laptop for about two weeks. I love the feel of the keyboard, the touchpad is excellent, I can barely tell its there. It runs so quietly the fan makes no noise whatso ever. uploading several gb of music, movies and photos from a memorycard or usb devices takes a matter of minutes instead of a half hour to 45 minutes. I don't think I could have picked a better laptop for the money. Though a battery with a better life span has been ordered. This is my third baby it goes where I go |
sleek & fast

| We purchased this on Thanksgiving rather than fighting crowds in stores. We had been looking for a laptop and choose this one for it's memory size & screen size. The price was right about where we wanted it and Toshiba has a good reputation as far as we know. We have not had any problems and love Windows 7. I highly recommend this laptop. |
