Great for College [Posted on 2007-03-26] This product has been a member of our family for about 2 months. It makes for a great addition! It is responsive, easy to use and will give us years of use. This is the 2nd laptop bought from Amazon and mine is significantly less costly than my son's, but a wonderful buy. I'm returning to college!
Excellent Laptop - Great for school or work [Posted on 2007-04-06] This laptop provides all the essentials for getting work done. The only modifications needed after purchasing are to upgrade the RAM (I recommend adding 1 GB) and uninstalling the unneeded software/games (AOL, Office Trial, Quicken Trial, etc).
The laptop's built-in wireless card works great and the LCD display is easy to read even in daylight.
The keyboard is a little cramp and best suited for people with small hands. If you like Sony keyboards, this is a similar style keyboard.
no compatibility, slow operation. [Posted on 2007-05-12] The new Windows Vista operating system on this machine will not run some of the programs which I own and were made for XP.
This computer as sold becomes too slow to operate with the new Windows Vista operating system.
All the other features are good.
NICE!!!! [Posted on 2007-08-06] this is my very first laptop, and it runs great,, I am upgrading the my RAM, a litte slow when it starts up!
Toshiba A-135 Beware [Posted on 2008-07-03] I bought this product from and through Amazon in March 0f 2007. When my kid went to reboot it, it asked for a bios password even though the bios was never passworded. This was listed as a Toshiba A-135 message. This thing is a ticking timebomb for anyone who needed information stored on the machine.
I am told that an authorized Toshiba dealer will make the necessary repairs for free. Of coure, if Amazon or Toshiba had told me about it, I might have been able to do this when convenient rather than on the 4th of July. Until this time, I agreed that it was a good laptop that simply required adding more RAM to properly run XP.
