Toshiba Satellite Notebook [Posted on 2007-06-30]
I was very impressed with the speed of shipment from the vendor it arrived on the second day after the order was placed. The computer is fantastic; no problems. Great processor speed, plenty of memory, no glitches with digital photos, music, etc. Recommend MS Office Enterprise to take advantage of this great notebook's processing speed and vista features. Vista is a little less intuitive than XP but once I got a feel for it, it does offer more options to customize for your use.
Good performer, not so good display [Posted on 2007-07-08]
This Notebook from Toshiba performs well, and very quiet.My only fault so far is the screen,do not like the limited viewing angle and highly reflective surface of the LCD display,forget about photo editing on this screen,also not very sharp despite the resolution.Windows Vista is fine, but seems like XP with frills and nothing more.The Key Pad is Lovely and easy to use.
4.5 Stars, actually. Boy did I luck out! [Posted on 2007-07-30]
It's my first laptop, and I couldn't be more delighted with its performance, features, and general ease of us. I really appreciate the recessed touch pad, and the attempt to not stroke it accidentally; however, I think the best place for a touchpad would be left or right of center.
A few quibbles. If these had been different, I would give the computer a straight 5 stars. 1) It needs a better soundcard, with Dolby 5.1 capability, a full equalizer, and a digital optical cable output. There is a slightly muffled quality to all audio, as though the tone needs to be turned up just a smidge. 2) It needs a much bigger hard drive capacity. 120gb? Not these days, especially if this is computer #1. 3) It needs an HDMI connection rather than USB, and the corresponding software. This would allow for the full use of its HD capacities. I'd love to use this as an HD-DVR. I tried to connect it via firewire 1394 cable with no luck, and figured out the connection is actually for video cameras and TV tuners. The DVI output is not helpful for most HD televisions, as most are now made with HDMI inputs. Ahh well. What do you want for less than $1000?
Otherwise, what a fabulous computer! And you can't beat the price, if you look around. I really lucked out!
Dead Pixels & Poor Space Bar key [Posted on 2007-10-02]
Product had dead pixels, and the space bar key does not enter spaces unless pressed EXACTLY in the middle!
HD full of trial software and self promoting programs that need clean up.
Lacks Blue Tooth & IR connectivity, or CF card slot (mentioned in Tech Spec, but would have been a nice feature).
Otherwise a great system for $1100 or less.
Buyer beware...
