Review for P205-S6337 [Posted on 2007-10-21]
I've had this laptop for a month now and it is an EXCELLENT desktop replacement. One of the main reasons why I got it is because I deal with lots of numbers and I just have to have a numeric keyboard. Sure, I can use my USB one, but it is just such a hassle.

17" is great for video viewing and it gives you extra room to work in- very comfortable for the eyes. The speakers are just as great as well.

It is also one of the quietest computers I've ever had- I can't even hear it . I had a Sony laptop from Costco before this and the high pitch sound was driving me so nuts that I had to return it. I was afraid that I will have a similar problem with Toshiba, but luckily I was wrong.

It is surprisingly light. I was very worried that I will have to drag lots of weight around if I need to bring it with me on the road.

The negative side:
The battery life is not very long - 2h MAX! You are working with a 17" after all.

Another main selling point for me was the fingerprint reader, but it turned out to be pretty useless. If you're using Firefox, forget about using it- it only works with IE. Most of the time it takes more than a minute to get it work anyways, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to let go of your dreams of forgetting your passwords and go biometric (for now at least).

Vista can be a bit slow, but it's not that bad. I think every computer on the market right now will have a similar problem anyways (at least until there is better hardware to support all the quirks of Vista ).

Since you're dealing with a 17", you might need to switch to a bigger backpack/carry bag if you want to drag this thing around.

oh well [Posted on 2007-10-30]
the machine itself is great - I trust toshiba, but Vista, I do not like it, XP is better

Geatest laptop i ever owned [Posted on 2007-11-21]
I purchased this laptop for myself, my 8yrs old, 6yrs old and 14yrs old to use. We all love this laptop. I purchased a sony vaio before, then a hp pavilion entertainment PC for my older sons. These laptops were great but this by far is the one i love out of all three. The screen size and pic are great. Its fast and has tons of memory. I love it, it does what i need it to do.
