| Well, if you are looking for a huuuuge laptop.. this is the one. Its got a lot of nice features and its really pretty and the sound is great. I bought this for game and movie play which is perfect. Everything runs fast and smooth. I love it. I also needed lots of memory to store tons of photos. This does all of that for me... not to mention the pictures look ten times better on this screen. Love it. Some negatives, The laptop is very glossy.. shows lots of finger prints. Also, be aware that microsoft office is only a trial software package. I guess I didnt read the fine print. Also, not sure why the serial and part numbers didnt work when trying to register my laptop online. ?? Anyway, Just keep in mind that this is HUUUGE for a laptop. Its not so easy traveling with it at all. Its rather heavy and there are hardly any choices as far as case covers and cool bags to carry it in go. I may end up buying a toshiba net book for travel. I gave five stars because TOSHIBA is awesome. I love this laptop. Pretty much can use it as a desktop because of its size. |
| Wonderful, big computer with alot of nice features! |

| When my older HP Pavilion laptop with 17" screen starting giving me trouble, I started looking for its replacement. (It no longer recognized DVDs, quit communicating with the printer, and just really started to make me angry. Too many nights working on it trying to get it to do the basics.) Granted the HP was maxed out with the most awesome of bling factor, TV tuner card, 2 remotes, lightscribe, everything you could ever need in a laptop or a desktop for that matter. So when I started to look, I knew what I used and what was really important to me. Since I work on a 15" screen at work, I knew I wanted a really big monitor, yet did not want a desktop. Portability was very important, but weight was not. Though I do sit on the couch with my computer alot, it was still not as heavy as my lap dog who weighs 65 lbs! I can say that the computer doesn't run hot at all, even when sitting on my lap. The fan is also surprisingly quiet. Keep in mind the battery life is short. Thankfully, I have alot of outlets around!
I wasn't really sure about Windows 7, seeing as I was upgrading from Windows XP. However, I really like it, especially the new functions in Windows Media Center. This software is user friendly and has a bunch of neat features for everyone. One of the reviewers complained about fingerprints. This computer does show fingerprints. Its an issue, but almost all laptops have it. But, I have to say that I absolutely love the feel of the keys compared to all the other laptops (4) that I own. The size of the keys are very well sized. I have small hands, but I believe these keys would accomodate most people. Plus, they are silky smooth to touch. One of the more important features for me was technology similar to Lightscribe. Toshiba uses Labelflash which is similar. This allow you to create DVDs and CDs with labels that are actually printed on the disc itself, not on a paper label. Although I have yet to actually burn one, software seems relatively easy to use. Labelflash discs aren't readily available at my local Wal-Mart, so keep that in mind before you start working on a project. All in all, I am very highly pleased with this computer, especially at its very reasonable price. It is doing the most important things on my checklist and more and more! BTW, some reviewers commented that finding a case was hard. Please note that I found a nice case on [...] for a very reasonable price, with no tax and free shipping. I got a case for my computer and Flip Ultra HD for about $50.00. Bargain! |
