Great laptop - Horrible keyboard February 09, 2012

"I have been a loyal Toshiba laptop user for any years and have recommended the product to many people. I would not recommend purchasing this specific model. Everything about the laptop is great except for the keyboard.
Unless you press directly on the center of the key, expect to be retyping letters. The design of the keyboard has a flaw. Pressing on the sides/top/bottom causes most letters not to function. Go to a store and try the model personally by pressing to the edge vice the center before you commit on the purchase.
I am a pc service technician and hear this problem often. Toshiba requires the laptop to be shipped to their depot for repair, and from what I have been reading many are returned with the same issue.
Toshiba, I applaud you for your laptops, but please redeisgn this keyboard and admit there is a problem so I can get a fuctioning keyboard before my warranty runs out.
P.S. I went back and had to correct 42 missing letters in this review...."

"This ain't no lightweight. I had to get a bigger bag to carry it around but I'm the type to trade weight for performance any day of the week and this baby delivers. Speed, functionality, love it all. The battery isn't the best in the world but it lasts long enough. Now, the touchpad can be a problem sometimes. Most of the time it is fine then suddenly you can't find the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen and it jumps. Not often enough to be a problem and it goes back to normal but it is kind of strange."

"I have been using Toshiba Notebooks for about 10 years as of date. I am like a Bull in a China Closet and Toshibia Notebooks have always taken a beating and kept on ticking for me. As far as the model I have now (P775-S7215), the mouse is very "touchy" which makes it hard to do work. Touch the mouse while typing and the course of direction in your project will change before you know it. Otherwise, the P775-S7215 seems like a fine product. Unlike associates of mine, I have a system powerful enough to multitask programs and run 2 to 3 applications at once without things slowing down, for the price of a basic model of one of the competitors."

"I am very pleased with my new laptop from Toshiba. It boots up quickly and the ECO feature is a vast improvement over the "sleep" function of Windows. Applications start quickly and in over 6 weeks of use I have yet to have a "blue screen of death" or application freeze. Installation of my owned software was very smooth as was transfer of data files for those products from my prior machine. Keyboard is firm to the touch and the numeric keypad inclusion makes it easy to do my spreadsheets."
Touchpad fixing way overdue Toshiba! October 04, 2011

Wilson, NC
Overall rating: 4.0 out of 5
"Overall, Toshiba makes a great laptop. Quality top edge technology makes for this laptop to be a very powerful machine. Love the large screen, audio, infact I really like all the features with 2 exceptions which is why I rated features only "2 stars". My complaint is this & I pray Toshiba pays attention to this b/c it's a recurrent theme: The Touchpad is simply hidious, if it's not acting extremely overly sensitive then it's acting as if you have to use 20 pounds of pressure to move the cursor! I've unfortunately been inconvienenced to where I have to almost always resort to my wireless mouse to keep from pulling my hair out. Secondly, at times while writing long emails or work related material "sometimes" it seems the keypad just decides to start acting rather quirky in that just doesn't want to recognize my finger hitting the letter tab. So I end up with a lot of misspelled words not by my fault, but the keyboard acting up and not keeping pace with my fast typing. Also at times, I'm not sure if its my palm touching this hidious touchpad or the keypad acting up but while typing away many times my cursor will readjust itself to some other point back to prior written information...so I end up writing on top of what I've already written...drives me nuts! & Yes, I've done everything I can with the settings...but this touchpad...just forget it...good luck!"

"This is my second Toshiba, and my older one seems to run faster than this one. The laptop is slow. They also set the charger next to the CD/DVD which is always on the way when you try to open and close the tray.
Toshiba should honor the customers that own this unit and probably make a right angle power cable.
over all don't waste your money on this laptop."

"This is my first Toshiba computer and so far I am very impressed with it. It has worked very well for my purposes and I have had no problems with it so far. The specs for laptops in this price range are pretty similar so I think what sold me was the feel of the large keyboard (no flex like in so many other models) with seperate numeric keypad. If I were to buy it again I might go with a discreet video card, but so far the fact mine doesn't have one has not been a problem. The Dolby Advanced Audio produces the best sound of any laptop I have owned previously. Screen is clear and not glossy, so reflections are low. Best viewing angle is straight on, but that is the case with most laptop screens in my experience.
My only complaint is that the hard drive and especially the optical drive is a bit noisy. Also, a minor annoyance is that whenever I connect a flash drive, iPod, etc to the USB port, the optical drive spins breifly. Why, I have no idea.
All in all I'm very happy with my purchase."

1 thing perhaps to improve - is the location of a CD drive - not on the same side with all the wires would be more practical.
And, good looking too!"

"I've had this toshiba only one month. Come back in a year and see if I'm looking for a 'Dell". While I love the feel of the Keys, the space bar is not sensitive enough and must be pressed harder than other keys. The other concern is the short battery life when other companies are putting better batteries. Other wise, so far, I really like this laptop. I really like being able to turn off the touch pad."

"This is a good I7 machine, with many nice features. I bought an I7, so I can process HD video. I can live with the 900 horizontal lines resolution, but the contrast is horrible and not really adjustable. Your angle of view matters considerably. When I output it to an HD TV, it looks great, but this laptops display is lacking. For the price range, though, it is ok.
I also find that the touchpad is sensitive and jumpy. Overall a good purchase and worth a little more money to go from an I5 to this I7."

"I'm currently an IT student and as far as the package youre getting for the price here its a pretty good deal. The features including the Toshiba eco utility button are amazing when it comes to saving battery. Ive read complaints about battery life for this computer but if you utilize the tools they give you to save battery the unplugged time is average. The sound system is by far one of the best ive heard from a laptop and I would put it up against Beats without a question. The big screen is nice with great resolution however I wish it came with a better graphics card. Overall i'd say if youre willing to put out a little extra money this computer is a great deal."

"I had bought this computer less then a week ago and i'm already in love with it. The screen is amazing very good picture and very big. Although its a 17" it does not have the weight like one. It is thin and lightweight and compared to my old Toshiba its lighter. It is very fast and will do anything you throw at it and more. I tried playing a trial version of WoW just to see how it handled it and it did not disappoint at all. Ran the game very smoothly even while the game was still downloading on high settings. The boot up time takes about 30 secs but that really doesn't bother me at all. I know before i bought it i had my heart set on getting an LED keyboard so i could see the keys in the dark, but now that i've got this i completely forgot about wanting the key's to light up. I don't use the touchpad very much so the disable touchpad button is very nice and convenient. It is a nice pad but i like a mouse much better. The speakers are great, clear, and very loud. Although the battery isn't great it is a big laptop and uses alot of power but if your using this for school odds are your going to have your charger with you anyways. The battery will probably last about 2 and half hours with just browsing the internet and listening to music. When playing a game it'll probably last about an hour maybe less. Thanks toshiba, will definitely be buying another laptop from yall down the road."

"Replacing a older Tecra Enterprise model with the P775. So far so good on this unit. Lots of features and a good price for a i7 chip laptop. Seems adequate in build quality...however the Tecra just "feels" a bit stouter, important to note though that this unit has a larger screen, (17 as compared to a 15 inch), and a 10 key numeric addition to the keyboard. One thing that I do notice is that the touch pad keys are located at the very bottom of the unit...my opinion is these should be located on top of the pad. The Tecra has them so and as such are much easier to operate. Unit seems to have good fan control and I have had no overheating issues under moderate to heavy use with multiple applications open. Sreen resolution is very nice. A main concern that I have is the durablity of the AC jack, the Tecra has what appears to be a better assembly in this area and I have had failure issues in other Satellite units that I have owned over the past decade. I will add though that with some research it appears that some updating has occured in this area and that the AC assembly in this unit is not the same as the earlier models from the past few years. Overall I am satisfied to this point while I continue to explore the capabilities of the P775. I should add that we have/had both MAC and Windows based Desktops and Laptops in our household for over 20 some years and for the most part we have found the Toshiba units solid performers for both personal and business use."

"High quality at a great price means "Great Value! I'm happy with all aspects of my machine.
The overall setup - Intel Core i7 Porcessor, high capacity hard dive, plus the 17.3" screen is a very effective match.
This might be old school thinking, but I'm happy that Toshiba has left the keyboard LED's in place - sometimes the hard drive activity light provides the only indication that processing is underway.
I would have preferred the USB's to have been placed at the rear of the machine, but on balance, it suits my needs to perfection."
