CustomerReviews
QA problem
One of the USB ports went bad almost immediately when I plugged in my portable disk. (Other USB ports were OK.) Amazon was very nice to send me a new replacement right away. Unfornately the second one has the exact problem as the first one. The same USB port went bad again almost immediately. I believe this is a manufacturing QA problem. I decided to return it. Toshiba has reliable products that I have been using for many years. But this one I can only give two stars.
Toshiba Laptop
This is an excellent computer. The size and wieght make it very convient to use. Battery power is good. My only complaint is that it uses Vista.
Powerful little notebook at a nice price
I’m totally impressed with this little Toshiba notebook. Its got the hardware specs to handle Vista, multitasking, and even a little light 3D gaming. Battery life is good, and the screen is very crisp and colorful. The 64 bit Vista OS and max memory capacity offer possible future upgrades, if desired. Build quality is acceptable; its no Toughbook, but its sturdy enough to survive a few bangs and jars while being toted around in my backpack (its also very light and easy to carry). The glossy keyboard took some getting used to, its a little slick, but gives nice springy feedback when keys are pressed. The roomy hard drive provides plenty of space for music, videos, and even another operating system 
Upon receiving this notebook, I setup a separate drive partition and installed the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit Release Candidate. It runs great, very quick and capable when multitasking, and the Vista 64 bit drivers provided by Toshiba are all compatible and working. I look forward to upgrading this fall, and using this Toshiba notebook for several years.
Its a great little notebook at a very fair price, I was looking at another similar model from Dell, which with similar options (bluetooth, memory, 64 bit OS), was a little over $1100, with a 2 week wait. I picked this Toshiba up from Amazon, on sale, for $770 shipped, and received it within a week. I’m very happy with this Amazon purchase.
Quick and portable
Quick little machine. Graphic speed is lacking, but that’s the tradeoff for the size. My only complaint is the touchpad. It varies between unresponsive and squirly with a mind all it’s own. The drivers are all up to date, so you’ll just have to get used to it. Still, a nice laptop.
Exelient laptop
It an excellent laptop,
I tried other brands but Toshiba, is something else. All of the problem that I had with the other computer I did not face with this laptop.
