I received this laptop on december 2, and I have been on it non-stop. I love it. My favorite game (the sims 3) runs smoothly. And I love the wi-fi I wish I could give it 10 stars

I opened the box, turned it on, and have had no problems with it since we received it 2 days ago. The family loves it. We are very happy with this purchase. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the battery life of the laptop. However, we will primarily use it indoors where there are outlets so I tend to always have it plugged in anyway.

It arrived on time but came with Hindi installed as the primary language, even in the trial package of Windows Office installed on the machine. The laptop did not ship with a Windows 7 CD (and who knows what else is missing from the package). This appears to have been a returned unit that was sold as a new product. Amazon customer service response has been excellent so far and very generous, but if I had bought this from [. . . ] we could just return it to the store. Quite a hassle.

I was shopping on black Friday, have heard great things about Toshiba laptops, and they had this one for 499. 00 so I said what the heck and got it! I also ordered a wireless router. A few days later the box came and I could not be happier. The best thing about is the the display. It is very sharp, bright, and clear. The keyboard is nice as well. I can’t stand the touchpad, but I think that’s a common problem with all laptops. I immediately went out and bought a wireless mouse to use with it. The sound is not great either, but again, I think that’s common with laptops. It seems pretty sturdy, and runs cool. It does not get hot, and the fan doesn’t even run when the ambient temp is around 65 degrees. Setting up the wireless network was a breeze, and when I started up the laptop, it found the signal immediately, and never loses it. The computer is very fast and I have not had one problem. Very satisfied. . and wow what a great price I got–this is a well equipped laptop.

One plus with this machine is that it came with very little “bloatware”- Norton trial, Microsoft Office 2007 trial, and some games. So, if you buy this machine at a “Box Store” don’t let them con you into optimization for an extra $50-$100, you can do recovery disks and bloatware removal on your own.
The only downside is I really wish it had an HDMI output for streaming movies to my flat screen from places like Amazon, but the VGA or USB output will have to suffice.
No HDMI is only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, other machines in this range offer it and hope Toshiba will soon.
