4 out of 5 stars pretty good computer   July 19, 2010
NVW (NV USA)
Nice computer, but the media player sensor buttons are in the way just to the left of the keyboard - always muting it or starting it inadvertently. All the ports are on the sides, so wires and sticks are in your face. Display - Too much reflection.


4 out of 5 stars Great price for a 2.5GHz AMD Turion II Laptop   July 19, 2010
Daniel Camera Perez (Caracas, Venezuela)
Summary: Very fast 2.5GHz AMD Turion II CPU, great looking, bright display, huge 640GB drive, 4GB RAM, bad webcam, better than average Wi-Fi.

I wasn't expecting the speakers to perform this well, quality-wise. Trebles ring clearly, bass response is very good for such a small size and the bundled Dolby Surround Software is useful and gives a nice ambiance to the music. The volume is limited, though.

This laptop brings four (4) USB ports, and that's including the SATA/USB port. At first I couldn't find the one on the left side, next to the left speaker. I uninstalled Norton without any hassles, and now I'm happily running AVG free edition. HD videos are played excellently and Microsoft Office 2007 opens up very quickly.

The integrated Wi-Fi works better than any other adapter I've used, even external USB adapters. Signal strength at this location has always been "Low" because the router is several rooms away: surprisingly this adapter reports "Excellent" all of the time. Frequent Wi-Fi outages are now a matter of the past. Note that this laptop comes without internal Bluetooth.

I find the webcam's image to be truly terrible indoors (artificial light). It may perform better outdoors. The battery also under-performs, lasting around 100 minutes on normal and maybe 110 on "eco Mode" (assuming continuous, semi-intensive usage). This is probably due to the high-speed CPU: the A505D-S6004 sister product is reported to last around 3 hours on batteries. I'm planning on buying the 12 cell battery in the near future:
Toshiba Primary High Capacity Battery Pack - Notebook battery ( high capacity ) - 1 x lithium ion 12-cell 9000 mAh

The keyboard heats up a little after 30 minutes of intensive use, even with a chill mat. Some people complain that the keyboard is noisy but I have to disagree: I find the sound to be nicely muffled when striking the keys with the required force. Very intense typing may produce more noise, but not really that noticeable. I'm a fast typist (70wpm) so you can trust me on this. Put on some music and this thing is, in my opinion, virtually noiseless. The keyboard light is a nice feature that works well, providing much needed-lighting in dark rooms.

Here are the specs page at Toshiba Web if you want to take a look:

4 out of 5 stars goodenuff   June 29, 2010
Kerry R. Odonnell (nashua nh)
works great, just what I needed as a laptop, decent speed and wide keyboard for fat fingers. Works great on wireless network . Good picture apps and quality.


5 out of 5 stars I love it!   June 12, 2010
Giselle Almonte (Brooklyn, New York)
I ordered this very laptop May 29 and got in June 4th. It's my very first laptop ever and I am 16 years old.

I am so in love in this laptop, I always look forward to using it. It starts up very quick. I've never had a Toshiba product before, but I am greatly pleased by how quick and silent this laptop is when I use it. My internet connection is slow because I use mainly wifi, BUT even so this laptop still runs quicker than my very old desktop, lol. I plan to buy a nice router this summer.

CON:
My only problem is that the textured touch pad is nice but it feels annoying on my fingertips after a few days.


PROS:
Windows 7
Eco-Mode
Large Hardrive
AWESOME SPEAKERS

The lightest keyboard doesn't bother me at all, as well as the fingerprints because I mostly use my laptop in dim or no light at all. I spend hours playing Sims 2 on this. I don't know if this laptop can play Sims 3, but I wouldn't mind whether it did or not.

So yeah, this is a great laptop, I'm very glad I bought the right one.



4 out of 5 stars Great laptop but the battery is a little lacking.   May 25, 2010
Jay A. Morris (Memphis, TN USA)
I've been searching for a new laptop for a few months now and finally decided on this one. Windows 7 is great, the laptop itself is fast, the display is large and vibrant. The only thing a little lacking is the battery, with eco-boost on I get about 2 to 2.5 hours before needing a recharge. Other than that, it runs great and at $650 it's a steal.
