Advantages: Durable, functionality, higher quality parts Disadvantages: Sligt glitch with keyboard
...laptop (along with most other Toshiba laptops) is really a great value. It is very durable and I have never had any problems with it. The only thing is a minor glitch that can be easily avoided-- if you push the right shift key and the M key at the same time, it registers as enter for some odd reason. Other than that, this laptop is perfect for anyone. I unfortunately sold mine to get a newer, more updated laptop (I wish I still had it, because I ...

Advantages: Performance, screen resolution, value for money Disadvantages: Glossy top prone to scratching
The Toshiba Satelite is an excellent laptop and also a great value for its price. It comes with everything you need you can imagine. I particularly like the large 17 inch screen which has excellent clarity, even in bright light and the modern and professional look and feel that Toshiba seemed to have grasped when designing this baby. It is also surprisingly portable for a desktop replacement and actually weighs the same as many 15.4 inch laptops ... ...your lap. The speakers are also fine for every day use, whilst the built in web cam and bluetooth capabilities are real bonuses. I also like the fact that the fans and heat ducts on the side rather than underneath allowing for air flow even when resting on your lap.
The only slight disadvantage is the outside top is prone to scratching and marking, even in a purpose built carrying case. I have overcome this by placing it into the case upside down ...

Advantages: Looks nice, good memory and price Disadvantages: warranty was worthless
I had this notebook and it started to go bezerk. It wouldn't accept any typing and would only work with the mouse. I called the tech support because it was still under warranty. They told me it was a software glitch and tried to walk me through the fix. After about 1 1/2 hrs of frustration I was told to send it back. They sent a box to send it back with. I complied and within days of sending it UPS, and 2 days of calling them and asking about it, ... ...turned to frustration when I realized the notebook was as I sent it. I called thier 1800 # and was told that there was an unidentified liquid in the unit, most likely animal urine. My laptop stayed on nmy bedroom desk and I have a cat but he sure didn't "Go" on my desk. I was livid and asked why they didn't call or contact me to tell me or offer to allow me to pay for repairs. I was told they could fix it in a repair shop and the closest was in Rome ...

Advantages: Sleek design, bluetooth capability, built in webcam with microphone Disadvantages: Made with cheap parts, falls apart easily, glitches with keyboard and touchpad
This laptop looks nice, has great features, and a good battery life, but it is very poorly made with cheap parts. I have had mine for about four months and only use it at a desk for school work and I am already having problems with keys popping off the keyboard and other small pieces falling off. I am also having problems with the keyboard's functionality-- sometimes it just decides is does not want to work (there may be a wiring problem). The sound ... ...to other laptops I have used). Overall, I was very disappointed considering how much I paid for it. I wished I had never bought it and kept my old faithful Toshiba Satellite laptop (was from 2005, still ran fine, and never had any problems with it). I thought I was upgrading, but actually, it turned out to be a downgrade. ...
