Satellite Notebooks review
















Had to return the initial laptop because of dead pixel(s). RMA was quick, painless and free. Unfortunately, the replacement also had the same problem- but not as obvious- so we kept it. After removing all the trial junk that comes with a new laptop, am very pleased with the hold and price. Screen is huge, widescreen and bright. Would def buy again- but watch out for those dead pixels!!
So pleased with this laptop. My other laptop was also a Toshiba Satellite but was having problems with the new software. It just didn’t have the capacity I needed anymore. This one is fantastic!!
my daughter usesit in institution and she absolutely likes it! She says it’s quick, not heavy to carry and just perfect
This is the second Toshiba lap top for me, and I have no complaints whatsoever. I like the larger screen and full sized keyboard, it is fantastic!
Amazon did a terrific job shipping in a timely manner and keeping me informed as to the status.
Perfectly clear experience!!!!
I like the toshiba satellite line. They are austerely the most economical, with the least repair rate, and the most computer. Bought this system for my in-laws @ Xmas who are in like. I spent the same amount for myself last year for a smaller screen, less options, and not reasonably as pretty. Wish I had austerely bought two of them.
