Toshiba Satellite U305-S5

Customer Reviews:

Perfect Notebook for my needs [Posted on 2007-10-15]
I really liked the product, and I'm very safisfied with it. Its little weight and size makes mobility extremelly easy, just exactly what I needed because I travel quite often.
So far, it runs quite well although it takes time to get used Windows Vista.
My only complaint would be the key board that might feel quite "cheap" when typing.

Toshiba U305 Amazing laptop [Posted on 2007-10-18]
Exceeds expectations, incredible package for the price, works fine and is a solid laptop and rugged enough for my travels.

Nice laptop but bad O/S [Posted on 2007-10-19]
I think this laptop is definitely a good deal for how much you paid. But I dont like Toshiba installs too many trial-version software i.e. antivirus, office etc. This is probably another way they can make money and lower costs. I am not sure if Vista is good for this laptop. If I have a choice, I will select XP instead b/c running Vista seems too heavy for this machine. The machine is very easy to become hot and battery runs out very fast. Overall, I think this is a good buy but still some weakness. That's why I cannot give it 5.

Big Flaw [Posted on 2007-12-30]
This is a great computer however it does have a big flaw.....it is advertised as having a 4 GB maximum ram capacity and it does indeed have the space to hold 4 GB of ram, but it will only run on 2 GB of ram....I went through 4 different kinds of ram replacement and spent a lot of time and money researching this fact, only to find out that Toshiba had two different sites which gave conflicting data.....Even the memory manufacturers were misinformed in this regard and swore to me that this computer would run on 4 GB or ram.....Kingston has changed that however since I confronted them with the facts.....Also this computer does run hot.....I recommend changing your memory modules with sleeved ones for a remedy to this problem!....If I can be of further help please let me know!

Terrible laptop [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I bought this computer before Christmas. It took 5 weeks to get sent to me. It has tons of shareware and does not function with Vista. In other words I was better off with my 5 year old Sony Vaio laptop than this one. Within 3 weeks the computer keyboard completely malfunction. With different caps turning on and off each time that I started my computer. It is now March 24, 2008 and I still have not got my computer back from their repair depot. Not to mention that the customer service is terrible. That is even comparing them to other terrible customer service such as Dell. I wanted to simply get my money back and they are unwilling to do this. I have left a review on many of the computers that have different configurations. I assume they are all junk and since I have been on hold 30 minutes (for the 5th time) I wanted to use my time wisely.
