Good luck reading this. i've had this computer five days so far (from Office Depot, after my desktop had a BIOS update/OS freeze issue) and it has been everything i thought it would be and more (especially for the price). Actually my rating is probably a 4.75. Here are are the Windows Experience Index scores this computer has (mine and the one at the store).

Processor: 4.8
Memory (RAM): 5.8
Graphics: 4.1
Gaming Graphics: 3.8
Primary Hard Disc: 5.3

So, this computer is not exactly a gaming rig, but seems solid. The graphics scores are hurt by the integrated ATI Radeon 3100. Window Vista 64 bit, dual core processor and a 10 key were key items my lists(the 4GB of 6400 RAM ... Read More:

I purchased this unit for my son who is entering his freshman year of high school. I have an HP unit for work that has been very reliable so thought I would give this a shot for him. He is very happy with it, works great for surfing and watching videos. We have not tried the Blue Ray player yet, but assume it will be nice. Having the 3 GB of Ram appears pretty crucial as I recently was upgraded (?) to Vista at work and my machine, which does not have that much Ram, runs pretty slow on it, but his works much quicker. Only drawback might be the wieght of this unit. It has an amazing battery life, but it comes at a heavy price, pun intended, the thing weighs a lot comparatively, but all in all, well worth the money and was very easy to fire up and ...

Very solidly built, great looks, styling and function, and inline with my high expectations of previous Toshiba products I have owned. Would like to see this Toshibs and a dark gray.

Two comments or glitches, pay attention to typing. Sometimes the cursor finds its way to a place you don't want it, and causes some rework. 2nd-the speaker is weak sounding, but sort of expected for such a small package. 2 thumbs up on this product, and very much worth the money.

Pros:
Good screen: although mine has a one dead pixel, it is better than my previous ones (IBM T43 and Acer Aspire 5100). It is one of shiny ones, but as others mentioned, they did a good job of eliminating glares.

Nice audio: as far as I know, it is one of the best on a laptop. I have always disappointed on laptop's speakers, but this one rocks! And the microphone and camera work very well too.

Good processor: 2.26GHz P8400 is not the best, but it does much better than may others. For me it is fast enough.

Nice keyboard: I was bit worried about the unusual shape of it, but it is quite comfortable to type. A little wide for my taste, though (I have small hands).

Oh, and it's very cute, ... Read More:
