laptop [Posted on 2007-08-24]
My first Laptop. I have nothing to compare it to. It works well. easy to use. It did not seem as though I had used it 2 hours and the battery went low. I did get a clear warning on the computer. No complaints
Stay AWAY! Wish I had never bought it! [Posted on 2007-10-19]
I have had this thing for about 6 months and it has been in the shop 3 times already for bad hard drives. Yesterday the "new" hard drive put in under warranty AGAIN went bad. This thing has been in the shop more than it has been at my house. When it does work it is very slow, even setting the windows settings for high performance and no frills. I can't say one good thing about this laptop.
the worst laptop I have ever had [Posted on 2007-11-16]
I have owned about 8 laptops in my life and this is definately the worst one. I bought it with Vista and loaded nothing on but MS Office. These programs, and even the Internet Exporer that was already loaded are barely functional. There are so many bugs, especially with the touchpad. It is running at nearly 100% CPU much of the time even though I am not doing anything, and it crashes several times per day. I thought it was a Vista problem but last week I bought a new Sony Vaio with Vista and it works brilliantly. I now have an expensive doorstop and will never buy another Toshiba product. Unfortunately I bought two Toshibas at the same time, this one and another higher end model, which is also now just sitting there in the corner since it also barely works
Decent budget notebook, few irritating design flaws [Posted on 2007-12-20]
Decent hardware for the price (got it for around $500 a few months ago, can't believe they're still selling it for close to $1000.)
It runs Vista perfectly well, including the new Aero interface (contrary to the statement in another review.)
Few irritating problems:
- It has only one CTRL key, sitting on the left, so if you are used to hitting CTRL on the right of the keyboard, this will take some getting used to (it makes some features of PowerPoint incredibly awkard to use.)
- It has no built in mircrophone (must have saved at least 10c there ....)
- It comes with endles useless software from Toshiba that takes a long time to exterminate, including a remarkably ill-conceived program that causes images of the function keys to appear every time the mouse pointer moves near the top of the screen
Nice Laptop To Have For Home Use And Schoolwork [Posted on 2008-07-20]
My mother purchased this as a college gift for me when I begun to study my minor. It wasn't the laptop that I wanted but I'am satisfied with it. The only flaws about it is that sometimes applications might load up very slowly or it might shut itself down as well as freeze up. I would recommend a Mac Powerbook if you are a very computer savvy person or creates web pages like myself.
