Got this for my long-suffering Dell-owning girlfriend three months ago, after much searching for a basic laptop at a good price. We paid well under five bills for it new, and have had no problems whatsoever. Even the dreaded Vista is working fine, as there's plenty of RAM for it to hog.
First time with a Toshiba laptop and I must say I'm impressed. The body and keys are light plastic, but still feel solid. To sell this unit this cheap, some corners must be cut. Those are good ones to cut. The stuff under the hood is what matters, and that stuff is solid. The burner burns cds and dvds well and quickly. The computer gets a tad warm but not overly so; the fan blows very warm air out to the left, and is so efficient that you can warm your hands in the air in the winter! The screen is wider than most and I like that effect.
We got it mainly for the net and it does that very well indeed. As fast as my friend's 2,500 clams MacBookPro, in fact. Sure, his graphics are tighter and the machine is way more solid...but it cost six times more. If, like my gal, you mainly use your laptop for the net and making cds, looking at photos and the occasional movie, this is a very fine unit. I've been writing on this one for nine hours straight today, and have no eye fatigue or signs of impending carpal tunnel. Gotta like that.
One thing well worth mentioning is the amazingly intelligent idea of having an analog dial for the volume on the front of the unit. Duhhh!! Why have I never seen this on a laptop before? It makes so much sense. Plus there's a mute button up top near the power button, and ff/rew and play buttons. These are features we use a lot and it's wonderful to not have to open them on the screen every time. Very smart design.
We looked at every laptop out there and decided that this Satellite offered the most value.
So far, we think we made a very good choice.
Well done, Toshiba.
