 Great laptop, not from Amazon though June 30, 2008
Samuel Clemens (St. Louis, Missouri USA)
Pros: Built sturdy, good size screen, Windows Vista OS, great price, great speakers
Cons: "O" key sticks a little, top collects and shows fingerprints
I love my new laptop. After about 6 months of just checking out different laptops, I was looking at the Sony Vaio CR series and did like it, but I also was looking at Toshiba. After collecting my graduation money, I started scanning the weekly ads for deals on laptops and found this one for only $500! The Vaio was going for $1100, so it was a no brainer which one I was going to get. I've been using it for close to three weeks now, and the only thing I have notice about the laptop is that the "O" key occasionally won't strike while you're typing, but pushing a little harder will fix the problem for a good while. Also, the "Onyx Blue Metallic" top does collect finger prints and smudges, but it's not really that bad.
I've had my laptop for nearly a month. I got it through Best Buy because of the customer service (and Amazon's lack thereof when it comes to their laptops)
Toshiba is a great brand and if I ever need to replace this laptop, I will definitely buy from them again.
 Toshiba Service September 3, 2008
P. Harvey (Irasburg, VT USA)
I have this laptop and wish I didn't. I've contacted TOSHIBA service department for two issues and they have not been able to fix either one. Their standard answer is to "do a system recovery." One problem is that the cursor jumps all over the screen and starts to insert letters where ever it pleases while typing. The patch driver they gave me was older than the one that came on the machine and did not work. Another problem is with Internet Explorer. It's constantly shuting down and doing an automatic restart for no apparent reason. Even though the software was OEM, they insisted that Microsoft was responsible, even though it clearly states in their warranty that TOSHIBA is responsible for all software that is factory installed. In short, TOSHIBA's service is worthless, unless all you want to do is a system recovery and lose everything you have on the PC. Who needs them for that?
