Toshiba Satellite A215-S5815Brand: Sony Binding: Personal Computers
Save Yourself the Headaches [Posted on 2008-04-15] I purchased a Toshiba Satellite and have regretted it ever since. Owning a Toshiba product has been the worst experience of my life.
In short, within less then 6 months the computer won't turn on. After hours on hold (and being hung up on) I got through to Toshiba customer service representative, then I had to drive over 45 minutes to take it to an "authorized service provider". In the year I have owned my computer it was being repair for more than 5 months of that time. I caution anyone buying a Toshiba product not to. Toshiba provides the worse customer service I have ever encountered. Save yourself the aggravation and headaches and never buy one of their products. I never will again.
Great laptop [Posted on 2008-04-17] The Toshiba A215-S6804 15'4 laptop is an excellent laptop. It exceeded the specs of my computer and runs so much faster, even with Vista on it. It's definitely a multi-taking laptop. I haven't had to face the "blank screen" problem or whatever it is called. The BIOs for that was in the laptop, so I just double-clicked it and installed. Runs smoothly and had no problem so far.
The only problem might the video card. It's not bad but its not exactly a gaming laptop, so its more likely that it won't run a high-end game. It runs not-so-demanding games, so personally I don't mind.
I like it [Posted on 2008-04-19] I have not once got the black screen, could be a little faster, but i love the laptop
Great for the price! [Posted on 2008-04-22] A pretty good computer for the price. I can't fault Toshiba on design, simplicity of use, and overall computing power. My one complaint is that of many which is Windows Vista, not the actual machine.
Right out of the box-Did not work! [Posted on 2008-04-22] I must of bought a Lemon. The wireless card did not work. I called Toshiba customer service and they told me to do a few things to test it that I have already done on my own. Then they said to call back if thier update did not work. I called back since it did not work and the next rep told me to re-install all the software and then to call back once that is done. That did not help so I called back and the next rep basically started over and went through everything I have already done. So then they said to take it to an "authorized service provider". It has been there for one month. They ordered a piece that was on backorder. A waste of money on a computer that I can not even use.
