excellent, fast, functional, affordable laptop
I bought this laptop to replace my Toshiba Tecra. My Tecra was slow, crashed frequently, and became almost unusable when paired with my kaspersky Internet Security. Because of my experiences with that computer I was hesitant to try another Toshiba but was convinved by both the specs and the affordability of this model.
I must say I was completely, pleasantly surprised by how great the Satellite is! This computer is lightening fast. I am actually finding myself annoyed by the slowness of my desktop computer now, which is an extremely expensive computer. It downloads my audio files in record time and uploads my mp4 files to youtube in less than half the time I have been accuostomed to. I am a transcriptionist and find the keyboard to be very comfortable and efficient for long periods of typing. The screen is very clear and crisp. HD appears great on it.
Probably one of my favorite things about it is the Windows 7. I, like most people, have been extremely dissapointed in Windows Vista and had really high hopes that 7 would be an improvement. Windows 7 has exceeded my expectations in every way! I quite often have many windows open at one time and switch back and forth to research the topics I'm writing about and review instructions that have been sent to me via email. The Windows 7 allows you to view in small or full size every Window you have open without actually navigating away from the Window you're currently working on. This has been extremely helpful to me. Everything about Windows 7 has been functional and intuitive and has helped to make me even more productive. I cannot say enough good things about Windows 7 or the Toshiba Satellite. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast, affordable, functional laptop.

I bought a Toshiba laptop and to my surprise the touchpad did not work properly from day one. After hours on the phone explaining the problem and doing a thousand procedures I had to ship it to Toshiba. The problem is that they lost my computer and they don't do anything to solve the problem. I have called them more than 30 times already and they have been unwilling to help me. I will never buy a Toshiba again and I suggest you do the same.

you oughta know
In this day one is forced to own one of these devices.Imagine it, my husband took off with some floozy he met online, and now, I too am no longer lonely.I am speaking on a nightly basis with an exotic foreign-sounding man called a "technical support person", attempting to make this stupid thing work. Resentful? yes.

What's Wrong With this Laptop?
If you read the 4 and 5 star reviews you'll get a sense of what works on this computer.

But they may not mention that two things are in fact annoying.

1. The sound quality on the speakers is awful. If you want to hear music or watch a movie, you'll have to have speakers.

2. The battery life is way short. Usually about an hour and thirty minutes. Keep your plug handy.
