"Good Machine I suppose if it were not crippled by the windows operating system - machine seems sound but when you start up the computer and have to wait till 3500 updates are installed - NOT. Wish the keys had the dimples of a regular keytboard I find this one hard to navigate by touch,,,"

"Pros: Runs cool, Large screen, Blue-ray, good storage, Great speed., design and weight are nice. I love the blue coloring, has cam and mic.
Cons: Very poor speakers, no backlit keys, no remote for dvd (minor but nice to have), Battery life could be better.
In a nutshell: Great all around computer just wish it had better battery life and better speakers. If you can live with that you will love this compluter. It was the only one with a blue-ray player which is nice to have!"

"This laptop had the features I wanted for a good price. the big 17" screen is an upgrade for me as well as the 6 gigs of ram. The keyboard took a little bit to get used to, but then again, it's that way anytime I move to a new keyboard. Does what I need it to do for a good value"

"Just purchased this last week, had to reformat twice so far due to Win7 shortcomings. Seems ok now, will see how it runs Chief Architect and my other software. Will have no hesitation upgrading to XP if it doesn't do well. Extra screen real estate is ALWAYS welcome. Still waiting for the 21" notebook...I was disappointed at the Windows experience score of only 5.9 due to the slow graphics properties (which is advert. as this PC's strong point!), whatever that means. AFTER purchase, while online trying to find out how much graphics mem. is used (still unknown), I made the mistake of reading reviews of this AMD chip and got kind of worried that it might be less powerful than the old Intel dual core 1.6 It's replacing, time will tell. The reviews claim it's really geared for a gamers machine. So far most of my complaints have to do with the keyboard layout, learning Win7, and Toshiba bloatware.
Also, I will never understand why All PC's come with a single partition hard drive. Why would the user want to format all their data in event of a virus attack or OS problem? My Docs go on D: now.
I despise having to hit the Fn key to PrtScr, unlike my tiny Tosh. netbook keyboard which has a dedicated key."

"Use this in my every day functions. Good internet use handlels skype well.Writes disks and plays Blu-Ray which will limit it going out of date. I enjoy the large 17' screen. A more flexable power connect point would stop me from worring about bending it. Still a top knotch product."

"Large screen is a plus. However battery life is extremely poor but I guess that is to be expected with a large screen. The biggest negative is the internal clock runs fast. I have noticed this same review on other sites. Unless you find this laptop at an extremely discounted deal, I would seek out another brand. Toshiba needs to address the clock issue."

"I picked this laptop up when my old one started showing signs of a crash, just to be sure I didn't lose my pictures and videos. I use it casually; web browsing, some photography work and video editing and it works fantastic for this! No issues at all within my first 2 months of owning it. Wish it had a latch on the lid like my old one, but otherwise I love it."

"Ok, first off, you must know coming into this that there is no expansion beyond USB 2.0.
It is a sad fact, but with the context that you do not need any other expansion: This computer is like a gift wrapped present.
It is wrapped within the confines that Toshiba puts it in, which, for most, would more than adequately suffice for whatever a user would want to use it for.
But a quad core 1.4ghz processor with the seemingly magical ability to be stably overclocked to a 2.3ghz quad core processor... Now that is fun.
Held back by Toshiba's older video drivers? Amd won't let you download them from there? Finding them, and then seeing your Windows Experience Index raise when you install them is a triumph.
This whole concept of taking control of my computer and finding that through my own actions, I can unmask a much better computer than the one I bought. This aspect will come back and smack a dissatisfied customer in the face.
It is really a great computer."

"I am overall very happy with my Toshiba, I have to admit the fast running clock is an issue. I have to set my clock everytime I bring my computer out of shutdown or sleep, it is running really fast. I have to admit I had heard about this before purchasing and thought it would not bother me, but I have found it does and it makes me wonder how a simple computer clock cannot be fixed with a downloadable patch."

"All my computers in the past have been HP or Compac. This is my first Toshiba product. I rated it 4 on on overall rating simply because I have only had it a month. I cannot truly rate battery life as my machine is plugged in 99% of the time. Overall it has exceeded my expections thus far."

"I bought this laptop to replace an HP laptop. Oh, how I miss my HP!!! The layout of this machine is so poorly thought out. The majority of your usb ports and your sound card output port are right where someone that is right handed is going to put a mouse. For me this is a business machine and I am on it all day everyday. I have to type with it pushed far away from me to avoid anything plugged in.
The keyboard has proven to be ultra sensitive and anything my right index finger types comes up double so I am constantly having to backspace and correct the errors.
The touch pad sits too far left for my typing style and so many times I will be typing away and then every thing stops because my palm has come to rest on the pad. I know I can turn it off, but I use it sometimes and I want FULL function, not to have to turn something off because it is poorly placed.
Also, there are no media keys. You have to go into whatever program you are playing music or a video on to fast forward, stop or play. There is volume adjustment through the function keys, but you have to be standing directly over the keyboard to see them. It's easier to just sift through whatever you have going on and do it through the program or system tray.
Also, for some reason, my screen on my HP at 17 inches was bigger than this one is at 17.3. Don't know what to day about that.
The one good thing I have to say about this machine is that it runs very cool. My HP got pretty hot and I would have to stop working to let it cool down. This thing is chill as a cucumber all day.
I bought this machine because the guy at our computer repair store said they rarely show up for repairs. That is awesome! However, the layout and function of the machine are awful and that is an important consideration as well. I so wish I could, but I cannot recommend this machine. :( A small business I do consulting for is getting ready to purchase two machines and I am so sad that I can't recommend this one."

"The new AMD APUs have very little reviews, but I decided to see for myself, just what the new processing unit could do. The performance is comparable to my desktop PC (powered by a P2X4 945), but with far less heat. I am impressed with the way the integrated GPU handles its workload."

"I have had this computer for a few weeks and so far it has performed great! It's processor is fast, it is easy to type on, the screen is very large, and it is lightweight. It only has 3 USB ports and I would prefer at least 4. Also the battery only lasts about 2 hours which is fine with me, but may deter others who need to use it without being able to plug in. Although lightweight, it is a large laptop which I am having to get used to. The mouse pad and clickers are off center as is the keyboard due to the large pad for numbers. I wanted a fire wire port, but have found that no PCs come with that (although my last 2 had one!), so I would recommend to Toshiba that they start installing that on some of their models. I can not hook my video camera to my PC without that port so now I either have to buy another video camera or pay to have the tapes transferred to a DVD. All in all, I am pleased with this laptop's performance and would recommend it if the minor annoyances listed above don't deter you!"
