"I am very happy with my new Toshiba, it has a lot of useful features and runs very smooth and fast. I marked it lower on performance because of a little glitch I encountered soon after purchase. I had to reformat. I don't blame the manufacturer it was a windows 8 glitch. I would not give windows 8 a good review. Since that no more problems the laptop is great to use.The touch screen is the cherry on top ."

"I like the weight of this laptop. I also like the touch screen. I am having trouble with the Windows 8 and all the changes there. Wish I had a book of directions. Also, the book that came with the laptop has the buttons all opposite of where they really are. I also wish it had more USB ports so I could plug in all my many apps etc. Overall it is a very nice laptop."

"I first had a 17" Toshiba and loved it, but it was too big for my cases, so returned it for the 11.5". I liked the step by step set up directions, but in the AM, the laptop was dead. I returned it and was not confident to get another, so I'm still without a laptop."

"The most frustrating issue is with the touchpad. The buttons aren't very responsive. Another problem I'm having is with the wireless connection. I have to reconnect everytime I use the computer, which has never been the case with any other computer I've had. Usually when you set a wireless network to connect automatically, it will, but that is not working on this laptop. Everything else seems to work well. I was excited when I realized that my wireless printer automatically installed upon setup...that was a great feature."

"laptop has Windows 8 on it so is difficult to determine what is problems with the computer vs problems in my understanding. The mouse touchpad is super sensitive when my hand go over it. I am a fast touch typist and frequently have to go back and correct words because they are missing letters. Seems like the keys are not working properly some times. Wish there were more manuals provided on the laptop instead of having to chase them down and downloading them."

"I bought the laptop at best buy after speaking with a toshiba representative. I have had it a couple weeks and the mouse no longer works, the keyboard no longer works.....then I did a search on the reviews of the product I bought. Too bad i didnt do it before I purchased the product. I have bought toshiba before (go thru 2 computers every couple years). I dont know if it is a problem with windows 8 (which is a whole new learning curve) or the computer. I am hopeing best buy will take this peice of junk back!!!"

Feels like I have to update software/ drives at least twice a week. Gets annoying. Besides that its a great product."

"But I found win8 difficult at start but gets easyer ! Not sure i like the hd disk protection label that pops up every time my big neighbor walks down the steps! Other than that no problems yet, except trying to install the anti v that they push on you at best buy it won't remove all of norton therefor won't install! Norton is working fine ! Why push anything else? And give better info on how, if you are going to push something besides what's on it! Maybe just go ahead and install the other ? Seems the smarter thing to do. Thanks for now give me a month then ask me when I've had time to have a real opinion!"

"I think the touch screen is a cool feature. When I first got it, there weren't enough instruction videos posted. I had to do a lot of digging to find how to use the product. I don't like how sensitive it can be. I'll be in the middle of a project and my screen will shift to another application. Also, I wish there was a task bar - the one that I found shows all applications - most of which the computer itself relies on. I need a Task Manager that would allow me to shut off programs I don't need, not software. However, my BIGGEST complaint is the keyboard. I don't too much like not having the number pad on the right, but worse than that, the keys are hard to press. A lot of times, my keys don't register as being hit, so my wording is all bunched together most of the time. It's so disappointing because I do a lot of writing for work and school, and this really takes away from my productivity. I have to hit the keys really hard and do a lot of editing."

"3 PCs in one week, the first one the keyboard didn't work right out of the box. The second PC lasted about two days then wouldn't boot up. The third PC had errors listed in the device manager right out of the box but it did work for 4 or 5 days before it wouldn't boot up. after one week and 3 Toshibas I switched to Acer M series and so far so good."

"The laptop's performance is great with responsive touchscreen, nice audio speakers and hi-def screen, and sleek design (except for the bottom part of the laptop where asides the rubber feet, there's a two small aluminum feet that makes me worry to be scratched by the surface). However, what I want is that Toshiba must create a touchscreen protector for their laptops with touchscreens to protect against abrasions."

The performance is good, the i5 processor is great even with several applications open. However, the wireless hardware tends to be problematic times. Battery life is marvelous and so are the speakers. Windows 8 makes this laptop an attractive package.
Overall, a pretty good laptop."

"Not sure if we got a 'lemon' but we've had some difficulty with the Toshiba Satellite P845t-S4310 laptop computer. We were enthralled with the touch screen especially when we were purchasing Windows 8. The computer will freeze up from time to time or the 'wheel' just spins and spins for hours. The disc drawer wouldn't open and we needed to take it back to the store where we purchased it for help. Since then...it's worked okay."

"Getting use to windows 8 is bad enough but you laptop cursor pad is makes it even harder. When i mouce over something and go to tap the pad the cursor moves and I end up opening something else. If I try to left or right click the cursor moves and it does something different. If I an looking at something on th einternet and click on the back arrow on internet explorer to go back my mouse freezes up for about 3 seconds. The bulk of the issue is around the mouse pad."

"I have been an avid Toshiba laptop user until I had to purchase a new one (Satellite P845T-S4310). I found the lightest one I could (due to traveling). This by far, is the absolutely worst experience I have ever had. Windows 8, IE 10 and touchscreen with a NON-detachable keyboard is awful! The IE 10 is unstable- having to reboot constantly. Win 8 AND IE 10 is NOT compatible with my work environment. I am having to REMOTE INTO WORK computer to use that environment to get my work done. Additionally, I use a high resolution 26" external monitor and I have to keep the laptop OPEN when in use so my external keyboard will work! There are NO software step-downs for Windows 8 and a MANUAL/PER TAB step-down for IE10. This is unacceptable! Why is there no work-around? I understand Win 8 is the new up and coming software, but what about us people who work in a different IOS environment??? I won't EVEN get into NO PRINT PREVIEW, NO EXPLORER, NO DESKTOP."

"I just got it this Monday 11.26.12 and I been working with it over 10 Hrs a day,i don't turn off my computers and I used it for game,internet browsing,network testing,office work,music and kinda act as the server in my home network,Its fast,Doesn't make too much heat or noise,crashed 4-5 of time due to overloading ram between network and local and multi-tasking with it.
WIFI driver has bug,when it goes to sleep and wake-up doesn't recognize the wireless LAN hardware anymore unless restart it or scan for new hardware in device management.
keyboard is a bit weird because of it size of the keys,I hit caps lock a lot instead of "A",touch screen is nice but its kinda useless cause screen doesn't turn and flip to make it like a tablet PC,speakers are loud and nice quality for a laptop,touch pad mouse is not that friendly cause its mixture of tap click and button click(doesn't have separate button for clicks) , cursor jump specially when trying to right click unless two finger tap,battery life is good last for me about 4 and half Hrs,webcam quality is great(Tested on Skype),screen quality is nice but color are not as sharp as Vaio laptops.
Windows 8,is little bit disappointment, doesn't have that interesting look like smooth edge of windows or bright colors of windows se7en, I worked with almost all of MS windows(from 95 to 8) till today & I cant say its good or bad,its just too different.
Laptop surface is cool,its same and one color all around it,its looks tough and durable.
Overally i like it,looks like a good and long lasting laptop to me.
Whats Missing: I think a laptop in this price range its nice to have bluetooth, Blueray, E-Sata,stronger graphic chipset like Nvidia or ATI also back lit keyboard."
