Perfect for my use,
So, this laptop is low priced, but high powered, at least for what I need it to do. I am pretty much like everyone else and just browse the web and check email on this thing and it does the job just fine for that. It is quick and clippy and I absolutely love having a number key pad. My only complaint about this is that it does not have a USB port on the right hand side of the laptop. Why is this important you ask? Mouse. I have a small travel mouse that I usually use with my laptops and with this one, it has to be plugged all the way on the other side of the laptop. It’s kind of inconvenient, but not a deal breaker with me.
This would be a great laptop for a kid going off to college or any casual user to just have around the house.
BE WARNED: as with most new laptops these days, this one does not come with installation DVD’s. That means that if you get a virus or something, you will not have a way to reinstall Windows. It does however have a method for MAKING a backup. I highly recommend that you do this IMMEDIATELY before using the laptop. When I did it, it required 5 (yes five) blank DVD’s, so make sure that you have some on hand. If you skip this step, you will rue the day down the road. The fun part is that the printed instructions are pretty stupid and look to be generic for all Toshiba laptops. To make the backup do the following:
Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> Recovery Media Creator
and follow the instructions from there. The printed instructions tell you to check the help guide on the laptop, does not give directions for finding the help guide, but when you do it does not give the correct location for the program that makes the recovery DVD’s

|8 months, great performance,
I have had this laptop for 8 months now – I use it every day for work. MS Office 2003 working fine on it. I can even use Adobe Photoshop reasonably well.
Key points:
*Extremely low temperature at about 75-80 degrees – this is truly a “lap top”!
*A little slow for heavy internet graphics
*Sound card is not great, but I play all my music through airtunes to my stereo so I don’t care so much
*If you want to record internet audio, you will have problems – this is not the laptop for that use
*Lightweight
If you want a non-nonsense, no-frills laptop for low cost that runs MS Office and can use the internet, I don’t know how you can beat this laptop.
