This laptop is really great. I mean, if you consider the price, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Toshiba is a very reliable brand. No problems with the Wi-fi at all.

I purchased this Toshiba Satellite laptop approximately one month ago and I love it. It does everything I want it to do and more. The display on the monitor is gorgeous. The keyboard is the perfect size and I absolutely love the number pad. I always said that if they would just put a number pad on a laptop that I would buy it. So I Did! I have had a few little quirks with Windows 7, software wise, but I was able to navigate through them. The webcam works well enough for what I use it for. The facial recognition software can sometimes be a bear, but for the most part works.The only think I would change about this computer is the glossy black keyboard and outer shell. It shows fingerprints like you would not believe, but I have learned to adapt. I also love the mouse. It is integrated into the keyboard surround and looks the same but it has a different texture. Overall, two very enthusiastic thumbs up and a great buy for a busy mom, college student or anyone just looking for a functional computer that is relatively inexpensive.

I love this computer because it is everything I need for my classes at school. It has a lot of weird features that i had to delete because it ran a little slow after I put my itunes music on it bit that wasnt a problem. i get why it’s called a satellite laptop because I don’t know what that even means. Many people said that the speakers were really bad but I’m listening to music on it right now and it’s not that bad. The pictures on the web cam pretty much suck though. I was deciding between this model or the Toshiba model very similar but much smaller and with more battery power, however it was about seventy dollars more and didnt have a cd rom thing so i went with this one. If you are going to buy this product I suggest you go to Best Buy to get it. On Amazon it sells for $600 plus s&h but I got it for just $523. Way better deal if you ask me. Overall I love this computer. It was a challenge to find a cute bag to fit such a big laptop but they had one at Best Buy that i could settle for.

I love this laptop, but must confess that I bought it for my son so I have had little time with it. He also loves it, but isn’t into reviewing, so here goes:
This is an absolutely beautiful laptop that does anything anyone could expect or want it to. It’s fast and there’s plenty of room for photo, music, and video storage without upgrading the RAM, though it is an available option in the future. As always, Amazon processed the order and it arrived the date that it was scheduled to. I did two-day shipping with the entire order. I thank Amazon for perfect service.
Once I charged this laptop I removed several programs that we didn’t need or want – the QuickBooks, the Norton 30-day trial stuff, the Google Toolbar, and a few other programs. I later installed Open Office and removed the MS Office Home and Student trial version. Windows 7 Home Premium is great! I waited till the Vista phase was over to purchase because I knew I didn’t want Vista. The only thing that I didn’t appreciate is that MS Word is not included, but as stated I solved that problem with Open Office and it works great. I also installed Mozilla Firefox as the default browser, including a variety of Firefox add-ons, but left IE in it.
Watching DVDs on it is better than watching them on a tv, but of course that depends on the quality of your tv. I tend to dislike track-pads and ordered a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 – Winter Blue at the same time, but as track-pads go, this one is pretty good and better than any I have ever encountered. Still, it all works perfect with the mouse. I don’t know what problems other reviewers had with the wireless connection, but for us it was fast Wifi and perfect from the very beginning. The keyboard is also great, accurate, and easy to use. We haven’t tried the webcam yet. There is no need to contact customer service, so I cannot comment on that. We are tech-intelligent so it’s not likely that there will ever be a need.
Now for the cons:
Every reviewer that mentioned the tinny sound of the speakers is correct, although my son didn’t have any issue with them. I think Toshiba could have done better with the speakers though.
Yes, you’ll never get away from those fingerprints, but aren’t almost all laptops like that these days? It is a gorgeous glossy case!
The battery life leaves something to be desired, but then I couldn’t find a similarly priced full laptop that promised anything better. My son gets about 3 hours from the battery when watching a DVD, browsing the internet, and using IM all at one time.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone and intend to purchase one for myself in the next couple of months.

I have ordered this toshiba notebook for using my work applications at home. Since they are very heavy I was looking for a high-end computer. The first notebook that came had a one pixel defect on the screen. I have returned it and after 3 days amazon sent me the new one. Which is working perfect! (Thanks amazon for a great and fast service!!)
I did not have a chance to get acquainted with everything in this notebook, but I have set up my working applications and I may say that it’s very fast! So I will describe only the front options which I have already noticed.
It came with a set up, which is very easy to use even if you are not prof in using. The speakers are really low, and I think the webcam is kind of gloomy, but I hope to set it up with the help of settings.
Also the notebook is really heavy if you are often going to carry it with you. The screen is very bright and the size is perfect for watching movies.
I was also upset of the surface..it’s really beautiful (black glitter and bit of mirrored) however each of your touch is printed on it, you should clean it after each use))
But all in all, I have ordered it with the aim of keeping it at home for working and I think this is the best product for the price and quality so far.
All in all I loved this computer and will recommend it if you want to get a high-quality notebook with a good price!

Very sturdy but light. As a poor graduate student, I relied on this laptop for thr rough and tumble of student life. Thanks Toshiba.

Picked this up on arrival in the US from Australia (where it isn’t shipped) and after 2 weeks of solid use I can’t fault the computer.
After getting some sort of malware within 12 hours (when will I learn not to trust serial crack sites?) Toshiba service was really helpful, guiding a restore to factory defaults.
Huge hard disk, plenty of RAM for storing and editing photos of road trip. Great machine.
My only gripe if any is all the extra software Toshiba loads – games, Norton, Office etc. But maybe the extra $$ they make from these helps keep the price of the machine down.

This is a great laptop for the money ! I have owned a Toshiba laptop before ( for 5 years) absolutely no problems) upgraded to a newer model.

I bought this as a gift and that person likes it very well. Sorry I can’t comment more than that!
