Nice quality laptop for the money!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I recently purchased this new Toshiba laptop through Amazon.com to be used for College and so far I am really happy with it. UPS arrived at my door literally within 24hrs. after ordering it! After the initial set up it booted up just fine. After a couple of Vista automatic upgrades and it seems to be working like a charm with no technical hang-ups. The PC came bundled with a trial version of Norton 360(2.0) which I installed right away which allowed me to protect myself from the Internet and also back up my initial files to CD media. Really nice product Toshiba!

Just as Advertised

The Toshiba Satellite L305-S5961 arrived on time and in perfect condition. It is as described by Amazon,and the reviews available at the time. The screen is very bright; the set-up simple and quick. I am uncertain about the 360 Norton Security package at this time. We are operating the computer with a WiFi Router, which is working well. Toshiba could have been more extensive with its instructions. So far we are satisfied after three weeks of operation.
Probably better for pros not for regular users

I am surprised that there are good reviews on Toshiba labtop, period. I used HP, Dell and Toshiba and I think the worst made is Toshiba. (Even their copy machine breaks down a lot at work). It’s very sensitive and easily gets slowed down. It doesn’t seem to like any antivirus software. If you leave it standing for just 15 minutes, you might as well restart; or else you will wait a very long time for each web page to download. I know that I am not a pro in computers but I didn’t have problem with Dell or HP before. On top of it their tech support is terrible and totally not worth renewing the insurance. All I can say is that I will not get close to anything made by Toshiba in the future.
excellent value

this is an excellent laptop for everyday tasks like email, document & photo editing, itunes etc. it is not a gaming machine. it is among the lightest in its class at 5.4 pounds and looks solidly built. the preinstalled vista premium boots up fast. no issues that I can think of. some sites have talked about the power plug coming loose inside the laptop; hope toshiba has fixed it in this model. i removed the shovelware and norton, installed avg and IE8 and it works great.
Shiny…..too shiny

Why on Earth Toshiba chose to use shiny black plastic for the surface of this laptop I’ll never know. For an Adrian Monk-ish freak like me, the fingerprints are going to be hard to get used to. The finger pad to move the pointer with is fantasticly devoid of prints which makes me wonder why this texture wasn’t used throughout.
Ignoring the cosmetics, the screen is pratically gigantic and very bright, both pluses in my book.
Another positive is the dial-controlled volume for the speakers. Much more senstive than the + and – on most laptops. This prevents the “silent to too loud” and lets you pick with much more accuracy the level of sound.
All in all, a good buy for the price.
