Amazing Machine, August 15, 2009
By Bart from Canal Winchester, OH

Features:		5 out of 5
Performance:		5 out of 5
Battery Life:		3 out of 5
Price-Value:		5 out of 5

"This machine is astounding for the price point. You will not find another machine for the same cost with all of the same features. You may find similar but somewhere it will be lacking. This machine processes beautifully, the RAM is PLENTY to run multiple applications, I just truly have no complaints.

There are machines out there that can run higher end games and such of course, but for photo & video editing, web browsing, work from home ETC, this is AWSOME. All the extra features such as the backlit keyboard & NUM pad being part of the keyboard just add to the ease of use. Highly recommended. Always Toshiba!"

"I Must say Toshiba really Focus in this model, I've had there laptops in the pass and this is truly a (Masterpiece) Im Very Happy with performance as-well with Looks, for the price is unbeatable with your "high End" overpriced in any Brand! above and be-young Memory Ram comes with 4.00 GB and IT IS CAPABLE TO EXPAND TO 8.00 GB
close case....
the more memory you have the faster and smoother your laptop Will Preform
Your GHz does speed the process but with a Duo Cpu at 2.OO GHz is plenty of push..
500 Hard Drive
Back Lead keyboard
ATI video!
what are you waiting for...
just do it."

"Really wasn't keen with having to go with Vista but so far so good. Like the backlighting on the keyboards and the textured mouse. The numbered keyboard is going to be coming in handy too (haven't switched over accounting program yet). Second Toshiba laptop I've owned and glad I went that route again."

"This is a great laptop! My first Toshiba. By far the best of the 4-5 laptops I've owned in the past. It's amazing what's inside this machine. I particularly like the large keyboard--very handy for fat fingered typists, like me."

"This laptop has everything you need and more. On the negative side, the battery power lasts at best a few hours before needing to be recharged and finger prints are highly visible, so keep a soft cloth near by. I have only had my laptop for a little over a month now, however I am having fun exploring all this machine has to offer."

"I have wanted a laptop for so long and finally this one caught my eye. I love the light up keyboard; numbers to the right; and the size of the screen.
The only little negative is how senative the touch pad can be. Just be aware. GREAT sound system.
Plus for the size it is not that heavy."

"Nice machine, I run 8+ applications on it at any given time including VOIP, work applications and software and extended desktop. Never seems to get hung up due to lack or resourses. Having a number pad is a nice as well.

Would be nice if it had built in bluetooth and an extra USB port or two."

"I was surprised at how much I got with the laptop for the price! The graphics/speakers all great! It's fast as well, which was something I definitely needed coming from a slow desktop.

The only down side is the low battery life, but that is to be expected with the graphics card that it comes with. It's worth it to me to have the higher graphics card.

I have had no problems with my laptop. You really get a lot of good features with it, and it's priced really reasonably making it a great purchase!"

"granted, i am a newbie, and i bought this laptop for myself and my new business, which is art based. I have never used the finger pad before and i find it very touchy. i love the graphics and i am sure i'll get better at this, just give me time. maybe i spent too much for the little knowledge i have, but we'll see."
