I have this laptop for 2 weeks already and I am really glad because this helps me in my work and study. This laptop look simple but the way it functions is really quick. One of my students dropped this laptop from my desk but lo and behold nothing happened. I had it check just to make sure but everything is perfect! Incredible! So durability wise its so excellent. Its quick with the internet. Picks up wi-fi so quick. The webcam is ok too. The picture resolution when I play dvd or from online is very clear. The design is just right. The touch pad is amazingly charming. Its not sensitive but just right. Outlook is excellent in this laptop. Before I forget, this laptop doesn’t get hot quick on my lap. Brilliant! It runs silent too. All in all I don’t have any problem with this.
Toshiba laptops have a huge time power plug issue (internal power jack pulls away from housing preventing plug insertion). Mine failed within 4 months of use. It is a obvious design problem which Toshiba continues to ignore. Type in Toshiba Laptop Problems in Yahoo search engine. Its a problem that will NOT go away. Too terrible…besides this issue it’s not a terrible machine. Consumer support is way terrible!!!
This laptop is nice. It’s a small heavier than I probable but I guess the only way to get one that’s not heavy is to buy a small tiny one. One thing I don’t like about this laptop is the battery only lasts 2 hrs or so. It didn’t say anything about battery life on the description when I bought it.
This is really my first Toshiba, the first Laptop I have ever bought and really the first computer I have ever bought. I am an IT administrator and we can make anything work and usually take hand me downs. My Dell was getting long in the tooth so I was looking to replace it. I didn’t want to spend a boat load of money so I did some investigate and found this laptop. Toshiba Laptops have a very excellent track record so I chose on this one. Let me tell you this is a nice laptop. Setup was quick and painless and it is nice performing machine.
The camera isn’t the best in the west but that wasn’t a hold factor for me anyhow. If this is low end it’s a fantastic low end machine!!Toshiba Satellite L305-S5924 15.4-Inch Laptop
I bought this product as a replacement for my Sony VAIO that I been by for 7 years. I’ve been by it for three weeks now and I find it cheaply made. For one, one of the key is not working. Second, it gets sratch so easily. I’ve taken it overseas this past few week and had to find alternate computer to use because “A” keyboard letter sticks. I guess you get what you paid for.
