Brilliant! [Posted on 2007-08-04]
I'd give this laptop five stars, but the 512 MB RAM it comes with is slightly insufficient. I highly suggest purchasing extra RAM because it really makes a world of difference - my Satellite now has 2 GB and it's incredibly fast.
The best thing about the Satellite has got to be the resolution. Its screen is absolutely beautiful and perfect for watching movies.
The preloaded Vista Basic works fine for me. It took me a while to get used to it, but I like Window's newest OS a lot better than XP. It's much easier to find documents and overall very user-friendly.
If you're a college student, I highly recommend this laptop. Not only is it great for playing music, movies, and games; it has tons of processing power and memory to write and save essays and reports! The price isn't that bad at all, either.
Good product, need extra memory cards [Posted on 2007-08-14]
The only thing bothered me is I had to buy two extra memory card (1 GB each) to run the computer properly. Other than that, the design, system and price are all satisfied.
Overall pretty impressed [Posted on 2007-09-13]
I purchased this in April, its worked great since...I was suprised with the low amount of RAM that came with it like everyone else. I bought a GB stick and it runs smooth now. The only problem I had with this came in the last week (9/10). My screen is 'blacking' out on me and is unusable...Toshiba support ruled it as a hardware issue, as did I and now I have to either ship it back or bring it to a repair shop. Excellent product I just wish this didn't happen so quickly!
Terrible laptop - Do not buy a Toshiba Satellite A135-S2386-It's a lemon [Posted on 2008-02-07]
Within 10 days of owning a new Toshiba A135-S2386 laptop, the wireless card stopped working. When I called Tech Support, they taught me to go to Device Manager and re-install the driver. Or sometimes I had to restart the laptop. I had to do that every week. Then after 3 months, the wireless card stopped working and restarting the computer didn't help. Took it to a Toshiba authorized repair person who changed the network card. Two months later, same problem. Network card, motherboard AND antenna were all replaced. When I got the computer back, it immediately started freezing and blue screening. Brought it back to the repair center the next day and they put in a new harddrive. After putting in the new harddrive, the repair center called me and told me that the keyboard and mouse quit working. So now they are ordering a second motherboard. During all of this I have called Toshiba numerous times. When I told them I want a new laptop, they put me put on hold for 30 - 40 minutes then the call will mysteriously cut off. I have called now 4 times asking for the status of my request for a laptop and the same thing happens - they tell me they will transfer me to customer support and after 30 minutes, the call will disconnect. I am a student and during all of this I do not have my laptop to get my work done. Toshiba customer is a joke. They do not care. Once they get your money for the laptop, they fix and fix until your warranty runs out, then you're stuck with a lemon laptop. I've owned Dell laptops before with no problems whatsoever. I will never buy a Toshiba ANYTHING ever again.
