  • "Great Notebook but a bit heavy to carry. Sunk USBs"
    on by joao9silva

    Pros Very good sound and excellent quality on the screen. Very good in general.

    Cons Heavy and the 2 USB ports on the right side sunk in. Can only be used with thin adapter. I am afraid to open it to fix the USBs or pay a fortune to fix them.

  • "Really good computer."
    on by glaedrskulblaka

    Pros Really long battery life.
    Lasts a long time
    Charge many things
    Use many USB things with it
    Durable
    Love the look

    Cons heavy
    touch volume gets stuck sometimes

    Summary It is an amazing computer, it is my main, where I write music and do everything on it, I only don't like the touch buttons at the top because the volume gets stuck and becomes deafeningly loud. Overall amazing battery and amazing quality. Pure worth it. With the bluetooth you can get an adapter for 10 dollars.

  • "Wow, I really don't know what to say"
    on by frozenghost211

    Pros The light is very good and the graphics are great. Lets you play games extremely well and makes it seem really realistic. Typing is quick and the keyboard is beautiful along with screen and over all design.

    Cons The USB ports have fallen into the computer, WIFI shuts off and the computer says it isn't compatable when it says it is on the base, sound echo's when not using head phones and I still havent figured out how to shut that off.

    Summary This is really just dissappointing. I needed the WIFI and it doesn't work anymore, the sound echo's, USB ports sink inside laptop..................If I had money I would just buy a new laptop. Unfortunately the charger is also broken and I had to order a replacment. Im hoping I got the right one or I will be really mad. There has bee so many problems with the computer, ...... I dont know if it's worth it.

  • "Great value, does everything I need it to do."
    on by mrboomerbass

    Pros Display, memory, hard drive, speed, speakers.

    Cons Shiny slippery keys, won't take the garbage out twice a week.

    Summary Great value, well worth the money. Bought it Dec 2009, and it's Dec 2010 now.

  • "The best pc I've had - laptops & desktops"
    on by FrancieE

    Pros processesor speed is amazing
    love the full-sized keyboard with the numberpad
    tons of space for my gaming & media needs
    sound is excellent
    can run several apps at once with no slow-down
    screen resolution is great
    price for quality is amazing

    Cons for a laptop, is quite heavy for me but if you don't intend on carrying it around everywhere, could easily replace a desktop

    the beeping volume control above the keyboard *is* very loud
    and yes, it's surface makes it easy to leave smudges

    Summary I have had Dell, Compaq & HP laptops and this Toshiba is by far the best I've owned, and I can see it lasting for a very long time for me. I would definately recommend it to anyone. The cost was incredibly fair, as well.

    I love the full-sized keyboard, the size of the screen, the 500 gigs, and just about everything else about this laptop!

    And, lastly, I've never written a review for anything before, this laptop being the exception... Love it!
