Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For the price this is a great laptop! So far so good. I got it up and running out of the box in no time. The speed of the computer seems pretty good, haven't run any extremely resource heavy stuff yet-I will later, Ill update in a few months. A few pros and cons for you:
PROS:
VERY LIGHT! I'm surprised that with the size of this, it is not heavy at all.
Beautiful Screen- The colors and video look great!
Pretty good battery life-I watched a full movie on one charge, and a few hours of regular internet surfing and work.
Pretty thin-for the price, I thought Toshiba would put this hardware in a clunky package... I was wrong.
Stays cool-my last laptop got pretty hot, especially when burning CD's or other heavy stuff- this one barely gets warm!
CONS:
Keys on the keyboard- What you think you'd see on a kids laptop, plasticy and clunky. C'mon Toshiba-is it that much more expensive to put somewhat nice keys on this thing?
Speakers-terrible.... perhaps I was spoiled by my last laptop-they are almost handheld radio quality. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. Also considering this price, it really cant be beat (If you don't mind the cons).
**********UPDATE*********** MAR 2011
I am still pleased with the laptop. No major performance issues yet.
However, I have another con that I MUST add. Quite frankly I am disappointed that Toshiba, who are not exactly novices in the laptop field, would do this. There are NO USB ports on the right side. This might not seem like a big deal, but if you want to use a mouse (not everybody likes the touch pad), you have to buy one with a long cord, or a wireless mouse. My retractable cord mini-mouse was useless with this laptop-too short.
Your USB cords get jumbled up because they are all in one place on the front left side. I would have bought another laptop at a comparable price if I knew that. Well, there ya go. Thx!
