"I have two Toshiba Satellite laptops. My older i4 works much better than my new and faster i5! Constantly have wireless problems while my old one (sitting right next to it) never has any problems?! Also, I typically have a stronger connection with the older model! The older i4 runs a lot cooler as well. I wish I hadn't bought this model or brand after seeing all the connectivity problems."

"I have had the computer about 30 days. The Windows 8 operating system randomly freezes up about two times per day with light-to-medium use. When this happens must do a hard power down and reboot - all work not saved is lost. Frustrating and disappointing. Hope someone from Toshiba tries to help me."

Long time to boot up, mousepad sticks constantly, IE keeps melting down, windows 8 is inferior and hard to navigate and toshiba customer service stinks...tries to charge you for everything. Never again."

"I purchased my Toshiba Satellite laptop mainly as a back-up computer for my big Asus gaming laptop, while it was being repaired. I have not really put the battery life to the test yet, but all other features seem top notch. It is fast and has plenty of storage space for programs, pics and such. It is light weight.. I wish the placement for the plug-ins for peripherals was a little better and possibly had one more USB, but that would be my only complaint. It came with Windows 8, which I like very much, but only after getting used to it."

Mouse finger pad is often unresponsive for up to 25 seconds
Space bar is too small - when using the space bar I hit the Alt or other keys - I lose a lot of data because of this.
The back space key is not like my other keyboards.
I will return this machine as soon as I can find a high performance machine with Win7."

"I enjoy this laptop and would recommend this to a friend but I only have 2 issues with it. Number 1 is that the touch pad sometimes freezes up and I can't do anything for 5 minutes, then suddenly it works great. Only 1 time I had to shut the laptop down holding the power button. The other issue is that there isn't a scroll up/down slide option on the touch pad as well which isn't a big deal but I use that a lot when on the Internet. Otherwise everything else is fine, just getting used to Windows 8."

"This was a gift and I don't know that I would have picked it out myself, but I have decided to keep it. I love that it has a keypad and it is relatively lightweight for the size. A real downside is the inability to scroll. It just has the touch pad and I have done a lot to try to get the "wheel" features to work. I'm in the process of uninstalling and reinstalling the software...again. For the price and the fact that I'm not a heavy user I'll put up with it. However, between the scolling issues and Windows 8 I have wanted to pull my hair out a few times."

"I have only had this laptop for a few weeks and it is already giving me more problems then my past 3 year old computer. It has issues staying connected to the internet, Windows 8 was a bad choice for it since it isn't touch screened. It is slower then most computers in it;s price range. The video card has serious issues. The sound is very choppy if you listen from the computer itself. I use expensive studio headphones and even then it is only decent with them. By far it will was a bad purchase and won't even last a year I suggest saving your money for something better."

It's not Toshiba's fault that Windows 8 is a nightmare to navigate, so that aside, the Laptop itself is a very good unit with lots of memory and speed. I think the battery runs down a little fast (about 2 or so hours), but I read a review that once you charge it and run it down all the way a few times, it will last alot longer."

"The performance of this laptop does not meeting my expectations. When online, the laptops gradually slows down over time and I eventually have to shutdown and reboot the laptop. When turning it on, the NUMLOCK key is illuminated, but when Windows starts to load, it goes out so when I log in, I have to remember to turn the NUMLOCK key on, which is a hassle. The BIOS has no way of always enabling this key which in all other computers I have owned, this feature was always present in the BIOS. There are way too many APPS preloaded on the laptop which I will never use. Toshiba online and phone support has much to be improved. If I buy another laptop, the Toshiba will not be at the top of my list."

The bad is I HATE the keyboard. The keys are FLAT, not raised at all and are not contoured toward the top. It's hard to hit the key you want. Hate it. Maybe I'll get used to it."

"Basically an average laptop at below average prices. I do experience an aggravating problem just about every day - I try to access the internet and I find I am no longer connected to my Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi is working fine, other computers and smartphones are on, but my Toshiba say "No Networks Available" in the Wi-Fi status. It runs a troubleshooting program which never finds the problem. I must restart my computer each time this happens, and when it is restarted it automatically connects to my Wi-Fi just fine and I am back in business. But frequent restarting is annoying."

I don't game but use it for business, and personal organization and finance. Still getting used to Windows 8, but the more I use it, the more I like it. Have only owned Toshibas since my first Gateway desktop(bought in store) turned me off to them. I have always gotten my money's worth form Toshiba, and their service is excellent. Also purchased the Protection Plan for this one because I travel so much. (Professional boat Capt. on Miss.

I like the keyboard and especially like the l5 inch size screen.

But it cause freeze ups, lost work, some programs will not run at all so our old 2007 vaio has to be used like musical chairs between the special needs children I am working with. This creates a extra hard ship. As I purchased these so each child would have a computer. I heard on the radio that 2008 windows was a flop. I am living this problematic system everyday.

This keyboard seems flimsy and the entire keyboard "flexes" up and down when you hit a key. I have two other Toshiba laptops and the keyboards on those are far superior to this keyboard. Toshiba should revert back to the older style keyboards. Other than that, I really like this unit."

Next thing was since I couldn't get any help from the help menu, I could not propely turn the computer off. Another catch 22 situation. When I finally did get on line 3 days later the help menu sent me to youtube and to a topic I wasn't looking for. Why do these computers have such a large hard drive if the help section is online? Wouldn't it make sense to install that information there where a new user to their product has instant access to it. I am filling out this review from my old window 7 computer since I really hate the windows 8 operating system on the new one. This is the 6th operating system I am having to learn starting with DOS 3.1. If I buy a new car I don't have to learn to drive all over again!

I continue to have issues with the mouse pad which will freeze randomly.....had the system accessed remotely by Geek Squad tech support and they cleaned a few things up but did not find anything specific. It is perturbing to loose control of the mouse pad in the middle of work. It appears as though something is running in the background consuming the CPU.......processes and applications running were reviewed with nothing identified. Tech support completed the analysis and I said I'd keep an eye on it. If this continues, I have a serious issue with the system. It appears to be continuing. Any help appreciated."

"I have had the laptop about a month now and the touchpad stopped working. It also will not turn on sometimes and I have to remove the battery and then restart. It was inexpensive and has a big screen, but I wish I would have went with an HP or Lenovo."

"Overall I highly recommend this laptop. The cooling system is efficient and keeps the laptop from overheating. The keyboard buttons are easy to press and read even in low light. The placement of the accessory plugins is very nice since you have them in easily accessable areas. The only wish I have is that the mouse be moved 2 inches to the right so that when playing a game or typing my left hand thumb does not hit the mouse while I am typing."

"It is really a good brand and a good product. I must say eventhough Toshiba has great laptops, that last and work just fine, there are other brands in the market making the same quality laptops with lower prices, like Samsung.
When I bought this laptop I was torn between this one and a Samsung one. Both laptops had almost the same features and memory capacity..Still I chose Toshiba, because I trust you guys....
But I'm noticing many other people in my region buying Samsung, and the thing is they actually perform the same way as a Toshiba or sometimes even better, so I guess my main advice is that, you should reduce a little your price, or make the price worth for the product .
Thanks, and I hope you read this! :)"

"I have used Toshiba computers since the late 80's and this is my first disappointment. I had trouble right out of the box and it just got worse. I hope it was a fluke because I really like the brand. This is my fifth toshiba laptop and the first one to give me any problems before it was at least 4 years old. I no longer have the laptop. I returned it and will just have to get by till I feel I can get one without all the bugs."

"Machine loads fairly quickly and keyboard is OK except for the mini arrow keys, hard to hit with big fingers. I like the numeric keypad. Some keystrokes need to be hit with some pressure. So far I am please with the price/performance. Windows 8 is another challenge altogether and not friendly to this old former accountant."

"Love the laptop, but I agree with the other review it's so not built for music, speakers seem to lag and fluctuate way to much! One minute loud next minute muffled, I even adjusted the SRS HD sound and doesn't help even if you turn the SRS off!! But other than that the computer has been good! Fast and all that!!"

"Have owned this one for a few months, was an upgrade from an old HP Compaq presario c700, really old Compaq (dual core 1.6, 2G ram) I got the Satellite because it has reasonable specs for a moderate price so i could use it as a gaming/ media computer, however despite it being quick and great with gaming, its been really let down by its sound software/hardware.. that "SRS sound enhancement" they designed to create dynamic realistic premium sound - really only just causes the sound to fluctuate between quiet, and eardrum piercingly loud depending on the tempo of each part of the song currently playing, which just makes you feel physically queasy trying to listen to it..
and further more it really lacks in full sound (all treble no bass) Have even tried disabling SRS and manually adjusting the sound to little effect, just have to search web discussions about the sound quality of these models to know its a widespread opinion of the owners trying to find solutions to the issue.
It's a great computer in terms of hardware and capability and so far iv'e never had an issue with gaming performance, but when it comes to sound quality, my old Compaq (which wasn't exactly high spec when new!) is far better for playing music on... how technology has improved over the years!?"

"I got this laptop with the A10 processor so I could do some gaming on it. The laptop meets recommended settings but games perform POORLY because of the severely outdated drivers!!! Toshiba will not allow you to install the drivers from AMD and users will have to wait for the Toshiba release the drivers that get updated maybe every 3 years."

"Generally L850D-BT2N22 it is a good laptop, but it is missing keyboard backlight-- something I did not realize when I was ordering. A tech support spent 5 minutes tryng to figure out if this model has backlight. I had to install a table lamp, without which it was difficult to use the keyboard."
