"My Toshiba running for 6years with horrible Windows Vista ran faster than this P875-S7102 model sporting an i7 8gb 750 HD.
In particular is the Interent connectivity issues. This is where it is intermittment and rather slow compared to an old machine.
My screen has a green dot from the beginning which is considered acceptable?
Despite being lured in by the bright screen, it never seems to have a contrast that helps define images. It is strictly brighter or darker and that in and of itself isn't the only factor involved to sharpen and clearly display images.
Aesthetically, the silver plastic is trying way too hard to look metal. Why not make it metal, at least on the keybord plate. I mean this machine is pretty expensive as it is, let's do that vs. this cheap and obvious imitation that broadcasts to everyone it's a pretender.
Also, keyboard light is very tempermental and the sense a vibration warning is irritating nonsense."

Very fast - i7 processor is like greased lightening. I shopped around for other 17" laptops and this screen is better than all others that I witnessed. Bestbuy price was same as all other internet sites I explored when purchasing. Many features for the money, a great value."

"I really like this laptop. I'm using Photoshop on it a lot and the performance is very good. There are some issues with the video however resulting in jumpy screen refreshes during some operations which is why I'm giving the laptop a 4 on performance instead of a 5..I love the keyboard with the back-lit keys. The keys are also large and typing is easy. Generally this is great laptop. Surfing the web is very fast. I have Office 2013 installed on it also and all of the apps perform very well.
The thing I dislike most is Windows 8. Windows 8 may be great on a touch device but it falls short on a PC or Laptop using a mouse. I'm seriously considering putting Windows 7 on it."

"P875-S7102 Satellite - My first personal laptop and first exposure to Windows 8. Boot time is very fast in comparison with other business laptops I've used and my old desktop. Don't know how much credit for increased speed should go to the hardware vs. the O/S, but all other operations are considerably faster as well. It takes some time to get used to Windows 8. I did some reading on the O/S prior to laptop purchase so the adjustment hasn't been too painful. Machine is used in my home office and is on the AC adapter almost all of the time. Battery life?? The battery lasted about 4 hours one of the few times that it was used."

"So far except for two things it is a good laptop. I had a Toshiba before and it lasted a long time so I decided for another one and I am happy with the computer itself. It seems fast enough. It has enough hard drive space and good WiFi connections. It could be upgraded to be better but over all does what i got it for.
The issues I have are both are Window 8 Related.
I am getting used to Win 8 and the worst part of Win 8 is no start menu so I had to install the one that you can find on line. I should have a choice of a start menu or not. It is not meant for a mouse driven computer but that is not my biggest issue. Also I don't like it that MSoft it is trying to force people to use the cloud via the start page. That way you lose more control of your data and they gain control of it.
Also Windows crashes badly on my pixxo wireless mouse all the time. It totally dies when I got to plug the reciever it and has to restart. I know that is not computer related but Windows related but it is a big pain in the behind."

"I previously purchased an HP laptop but was very disappointed. I had done research on this Toshiba but at the time it was not in stock and I needed something quickly. I returned the HP the next day however, this laptop was not in stock and needed to be ordered. The store let me take the HP back home so I would have something in the meantime. After this laptop arrived, I was and have been in heaven! It's terrific! The speed, the apps, the screen is big and the sound it awesome! I definitely believe the price does this justice. I have nothing bad to say about it."

Had a good price and components and I have had good experiences in past with Toshiba. Has very good components besides no solid state harddrive but not esssential for me. So far works great and is very good computer. Heavy but understandable and manageable for it's size."

"Give the specs on my computer I was really shocked on how easily it become bogged down when pulling up documents saved on the computer and access my office network.
I am not a fan of windows 8- I am an attorney and heavily rely on my computer. Change is good but it shouldn't be so drastic that I have to take the time to take a class to use my computer. I am in my early 30's and my undergraduate degree is in business so I am proficient on all kinds of different computer programs- but I don't have time to stop and learn this many new features at one time in order to just use basic programs."

"My wife and I purchased this laptop about 2 months ago. We're still getting used to the Windows 8 operating system. One issue we had with this laptop is, one time the thing locked up. We had only had it for a few days...so we were worried! However, my wife called the Toshiba support and after removing the battery,it ran as it should. Since then, we have had no other problems.
We aren't gamers, or very tech savy, but we both have moderate experience using computers. We have kids so the main reason for us to have this laptop is to use it for videos and pics of the family. And shopping, e-mails, and browsing, etc. I think this laptop will serve us well for our purposes...however, after we've had for a year or so I will be able to give a better review of performance, durability, etc. I do wish the battery would last longer!"

"To begin with I love the laptop hardware. Great keys, mousepad isn't as bad as it could be, and the usb 3.0 ports are sweet. I'm not upset with the 3rd generation i7 core either, BUT Windows 8 is terrible. It's counter-intuitive, it's great if you want to play, it would be great on a tablet, but it's no good on a laptop that's geared towards work. Windows 8 Pro? Not much better from what I can see. Not impressed at all. I would prefer to be able to easily downgrade to Windows 7 professional, but does Windows 8 make that easy? Nope. It's like being in a Windows toilet bowl, watching the portal to the world swirl above as good ole Microsoft flushes away any chance of escaping the toilet bowl. *sigh* Toshiba, do everyone a favor and load Windows 7 Professional on the machines instead of windows 8 Maybe when windows blue comes out it'll be better but this current OS is terrible. It's so bad that I am severely tempted to try exorcising the machine in the hopes that it will reform it's evil ways."

"I am a mortgage broker, arranging home loans for clients. I have several issues. I cannot use my computer to enter several primary mortgage sites, It shows a broken page on the bar, Like Plaza Home Mortgage and Efannie mae, I can go in but I cannot review or print from my laptop, I have made many phone calls since my purchase almost a month ago, It appears the problem is that I am more advanced than others I need to work with, I have internet explorer 10 and of course windows 8, and the majority of the companies I work with are I.E. 8 average. I purchased this large screen 17.3 screen so I could use one computer and when I am away over night I can take everything with me. Now I am running between two different computers, still using an older desk top XP, that I had hoped to eliminate, now I must keep it running and set up to do my work daily. I also wonder why with such a large screen almost everything only takes up half the screen, this defeats the purpose of a larger computer. Windows 8 has been a learning challenge, I did notice on CNNMONEY site, that they are coming up with some fix's for windows 8. I am hoping some might fix my main issues?????? I like the style of the computer, but hate laptop keyboards, so I have a separate mouse and keyboard with works great when not away."

"The laptop has been a good investment so far. I have no technical issues to complain about.
Windows 8 needs work. I feel it is a typical OS change that Microsoft is testing for the real version. It is comparable to Windows ME and Vista. Unlike Windows ME, Windows 8 is stable. The interface is not as friendly as it needs to be for computers. It is not easy to close a native Win8 app. I do most of my stuff in Desktop mode anyhow.
The laptop is powerful. I was looking at purchasing a Mac as my next laptop. After reviewing the Apple systems, I could purchase the same horsepower in this laptop for a third of the price."

My brother now has it and likes it a lot. This computer is loaded for the price and fast, fast, fast.!!! I love the lighted keyboard. It performs flawlessly.

"For the price, this is a great value in a laptop. If you are in need of a good desktop substitute, this is it. It can hold 32 gigs of ram and has a second bay for an additional hard drive. The battery life for non-gaming is good for most daily home duties. I do not like all the extra, what I call junk loaded by the manufacturer! I wish I had a choice for Windows 7 as I think Windows 8 is non-productive! Too many moves and is not intuitive to get where you need to go. That said, I like the laptop very much and am glad I went with this machine. I looked at many before choosing this."

I shopped for a replacement for six months and this Toshiba is the best combination of speed and usability I found and it a great value for the $.

"I love the big screen size and the display is beautiful! The speakers are incredible, doesn't sound like a laptop at all, sounds more like a stereo. The big keyboard is excellent as my hands aren't all cramped together when I type; and I like the fact that it has a numberpad on the right hand side. The function buttons at the top of the keyboard are another great feature as they serve double duty as volume control, play/pause, rewind, fast forward, etc. The only downside is the battery life. When gaming it dies pretty quickly so I need to have the power cable and an outlet nearby. But I love the laptop, glad I went with this over others that I was considering. Would recommend you do the same!!"

"Previously had a Satellite A series, then an L305D, which I was happy with, buy I needed more multitasking abilities and wanted a bigger screen. Saw this one at Best Buy and thought it was the best of the nongaming 17.3".
Pros:
Very good screen quality, and great balance of size to weight (still a little hefty, but I can still take it on thr DC Metro every day without needing shoulder surgery, and I am not a powerlifter)
Excellent battery life - can have 3-4 programs plus watch something on iTunes in between and I get well over 3 hours easily.
OK/not their fault
Windows 8 - there's a learning curve, but better than retraining to a Mac. Biggest issue is that, after being on for a few days, the programs start to lag. After a fairly quick restart, back to normal, but an annoyance when I'm writing and have to save, close, restart, and reopen all my programs and browser windows.
con: the touchpad. the P series touchpad is one piece, so the "buttons" are just the bottom edge. you can't scroll with your fingers and click with your thumb - th arrow goes flying. the conventional 3-piece touchpad is on the othe models. it's a pain in the butt.
other than that, does what it should generally."

"I purchased two other Windows 8 laptop computers, took them back and traded up to the size and features I didn't know I wanted when I purchased the first two. I haven't had a laptop since I retired in 1995 at age 56. A desktop computer was fine for me at home until I became involved in an activity where I needed a laptop again.
Each of the first two were OK in a way. The first one had a small touch-enabled screen that proved to be too-small. The second had a larger touch-enable screen that was still too small to see adequately and the screen was so reflective that it was hard to use in a Starbucks-like environment with bright sunlight behind me. The non-touch screen on this laptop is beautiful, easy to see and with mouse-trails enabled the combination of a full size keyboard and screen makes for a very productive package.
The bonus with the Toshiba is that all the provided documentation makes the purchaser believe that they really care about communicating with you in a clear and understandable way. It's easy to learn about all the features available to you working with understandable text and visuals. I'm no dummy and this is not my first rodeo with computers but I know when a company has taken the time and studied their lesson in customer communication. As has been said, it is easy to make things difficult and hard to make things simple. Toshiba wins hands-down in this arena.
My wife continued with the middle sized laptop that was the second one I bought. From day one, it would not properly communicate with the 2010 LG flat-screen external monitor she had used successfully with her previous laptop of the same brand. After spending a couple of hours at the retail store with their experts trying to get the video synchronized between laptop and external monitor and over three hours on the phone with three of the manufacturer's technical people and still failing to get it to perform properly we finally found a person at the retail store who could use the several dialog boxes required to make it perform properly. At the same time, the Toshiba P875-S7102 from the same retail store performed flawlessly with her monitor, plug & play right out of the box.
I looked at the other Top Ratings of this particular Toshiba laptop before settling on it. They were right!"

After getting the second computer it also had a similar problem just a different error message. I took it back to the place I purchased it and I was done with Toshiba until I worked with there tech guy, he heard somewhere that Toshiba's with windows 8 were having problems making recovery DVD's and he gave me a flash drive to make my recovery onto which worked, he was surprised that the customer service at Toshiba did not give me this info. I've only had this laptop for 2 weeks now other than the above issue it works good for my needs.

A couple of things were hard to get used to, the touchpad and the operating system.
Touchpad: the left and right clicking buttons are not JUST buttons, they also are touch, so your cursor will move on accident sometimes when you are about to click down. Can be a bit annoying.
Operating System: Windows 8 is way different than previous Windows versions and there is a lot to learn before feeling comfortable using it. Some cool aspects to it, but it really boils down to what you, as the user, prefer.
Also, kind of random but the speakers are amazing for a laptop."

It can hold 32 GB of memory and even has space for a second hard drive! I plan on installing a Western Digital Scorpio Black for it's performance to handle video editing. The 1080P screen is sharp and resolute. Even the finest print comes out clear and easily readable. The sound for a laptop is amazing and clear! The Harmon Kardon sound system easily passes everything out there in other laptops. Battery life is decent for a laptop with these capabilities, but hopefully there is a battery with longer run time coming out soon if it hasn't already. Charging is very fast however which makes battery life easy to live with. All in all, battery life is still quite good!! Yes, I would recommend this laptop for everyone serious about computing with a very capable machine!"

"By far, the best value for the amount spent. Harmon-Kardon speakers produce great sound with distinct stereo separation. 17 inch screen is super-sharp with true Hi Def performance (1920x1080). Graphics Performance is 5.9 because of the use of the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip. Processor and memory (24GB) Performance are rated at 7.8. No delay in playing HD DVDs.
Back lit keyboard makes it easy to work without much light around the machine which lessens degradation of color on the screen. It is very easy to adjust colors with photo software without glare to get an almost perfect match to the actual colors in the dials of watches I primarily photograph."

"I have had a computer since 1982 and have tried to progress with each evolution. To my dismay, I found the features and Windows 8 operating system, on this computer, somewhat over whelming. The computer itself is super, but I have trouble following the information/guidance provided in the tutorials embodied with the computer. Slowly , however, I am getting there. I guess the critique I am giving is more directed towards the Windows 8 operating system, rather than the computer. In summary, I am more than pleased with the Satellite P875-S7102 Laptop; its speed, large screen, etc. I am certain as I continue to use and become more familiar with the computer and Windows 8, I will find this to be best choice I could have made in purchasing a new laptop. I would like to suggest that consideration be given to including a technical/operating manual with Toshiba computers."

"My brother is a big Apple nerd. When I bought my new Satellite, I sent him a text message stating that I'd purchased a new toy that was in an aluminum case, had a fast Intel processor, and a new OS that I was going to have to get used to (Win 8). LOL!
My last laptop was an older Satellite with a 17-inch screen and an AMD Athalon processor. It had the Harmon/Kardon sound, which I swore I would never specifically seek out (until I'd played with the premium sound and got spoiled). The upgraded sound is highly recommended if you are going to use your notebook for any kind of sound ever. Similarly, the backlit keyboard is nice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one.
The 17.3-inch 1080p screen is a huge step up from my old 17 because of the resolution alone. It's like having a real computer monitor on my notebook. The i7 processor is blazingly fast, and the 8 GB of ram helps a lot. I will eventually upgrade the ram to the 32 GB max, but find it unnecessary at the moment.
As with many of the bigger Toshiba Satellites, this one has a second hard drive bay so you can add another internal if you want to. I'm going to be hard pressed to fill up the factory 750 GB drive, but have toyed around with installing a SSD as the primary and relegating the 750 to file storage.
I have been getting four or five hours on a battery charge, which shocked me. My AMD based big-screen laptops have had a hard time getting better than two hours (if even that). Some people have complained about the battery life on this beast, but I'm quite pleased with it.
There's really nothing specifically bad that I can say about this machine so far. I wish they had gone straight milled aluminum on the case for a true Apple fighter, but they did a nice job blending aluminum and color matched plastic.
Two or three years ago, I looked at new notebooks. At the time I had some serious i7 lust, but couldn't touch one for under $1000, and that was a fairly stripped-down model. This machine is quite full-featured and rang in well under the four-digit mark. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
Future upgrades will include more ram, another internal drive (either a spinner or a SSD), and probably a Blu-Ray drive. I don't know that I need a burner, but price and availability will likely dictate what I wind up with there."

As for the Laptop itself, it has more features that I may use as a homeowner. I really like the 17" screen. Keyboard is neat, buttons are easy.
Need to have a 90 Degree DC power connector. so that it doesn't stick out as much. Possible damage if accidentally hit.

"This is a nice laptop; however, because it is Windows 8, it is very different than Windows 7 as explained to us by the salesperson. There is no written booklet so we were basically on our own when it came to doing simple, basic things. We're learning as we go along but there should be some sort of instructional booklet for people who are first time laptop buyers or those who have not been exposed to Windows 8. We are newbies when it comes to Windows 8; however, our expertise is improving with minimal frustration."

You have to re-train yourself so as not to accidentally right-click on everything or touch the touchpad with the heel of your hand. After a few weeks this stopped being a big issue.

"I went with this model because I currently have a Toshiba satellite from a year ago and really liked it. I needed a second laptop because conflicts with two people in school and needing to do work at the same time, plus online classes at the same time. This laptop is very fast and I can have multiple applications open at the same time with no lag between switching from one to the other. When your in an online course and you have to check or look something up at the same time that feature is extremely nice. I can jump out and surf the web on a topic the instructor has asked about and within seconds be back in the class with the answer. The back lite keyboard helps too because I don't need to have an external light on to be able to work. Where I purchased this laptop, the technicians who set up everything for me told me I had an outstanding computer. It is powerful and the speed is excellent for whatever I want to use it for. One even stated that it is a laptop they wouldn't mind owning especially for the price I paid. Not bad considering the number of laptops they see everyday. I have used this same location many times so I know the people there fairly well and they know me, so it wasn't a case of them telling me this for the sale. It was a genuine comment from someone who knows."

The only down side to my laptop is that the DVD/CD drawer will open randomly. Sometimes the laptop isn't even being used and it will just pop out. Other times, when I lift it up, the drawer will open. ( but I think that is because it is exactly where you would put your hand to lift the laptop up to put it on your lap. Maybe the pressure of my hand is causing it to open?)"
