I bought this laptop as a replacement for my 5+ year ancient Dell Inspiron. Having recently had some terrible experiences with Dell, I chose to try a Toshiba.
It’s a excellent laptop for someone who isn’t a road warrior– both the size and relatively small battery life make it less than ideal for lots of travel. Both of these problems stem from its very large screen (huge screens tend to consume a lot of power), which is its largest selling top. The large screen is fantastic for work and surveillance films.
On the down side, the built-in speakers provide poor sound quality, which is not a problem if you use head phones.
Another insignificant drawback is the mousepad, which is positioned in such a way that your wrist is likely to tap it when typing, causing the cursor to jump inappropriately. You can tweak some settings on the mousepad’s sensitivity to minimize this effect.
Toshiba Satellite L555D-S7910 17.3-Inch Laptop – Black/Grey
Toshiba makes a decent laptop, but if you buy one of their harvest do not reflect for a moment that your warranty will be honored! I had an adapter cord (and transformer) that failed, and it has now been over 2 weeks that Toshiba has been “unable” to send me a replacement cord. They claim it is on “back order” with no date in notice as to when the part will be available. Of course (they tell me) I can go into a store and buy a replacement part myself (over $100) but they will not reimburse me for that – I will austerely have to wait for the back order in order to have it replaced under the warranty provisions. In essence, they are telling me that – in all of North America – they cannot place their hands on one of their own power cords, even even if I may possibly just walk into any store and buy one myself! This, they say, is their “policy” – and the policy cannot be changed. In my book, this is not “policy” but rather consumer fraud – buy their product, assume that you have a warranty, but when it comes to fulfilling their warranty obligation you’re told to wait indefinitely – or just go buy the replacement part out of your own pocket. Frankly, I had probable better from a company like Toshiba, and my experience has made me conclude that I should never consider buying another of their harvest – ever!
This is my 6th Toshiba Satellite laptop. Bought first one in 1998 when I was driving a truck. Have never had a problem with consumer service with Toshiba as one other person has said. Lost my hard drive somewhere between Chicago and San Antonio, when I got to San Antonio on a Friday afternoon at 3:00.pm they got me in at 4:00.pm and it was fixed and I was ready to go by 6:00.pm The only time I had to wait on a part was in Charlotte, NC on a Friday for a new screen and I was at my sister’s household anyhow and it was ready to go by 10:00 .am., since it was all under warranty never paid a cent for repairs or parts. I am pleased with this laptop because I do like the larger screen. The one drawback that I can see is the touch pad because it is in an awkward position but you can fix that by buying a mouse and rotary the touch pad off. Simple simple solution to a insignificant problem. The last one cost $3600.00 5 yrs ago and had a lot less on it so the price is reasonable. I would recommend this product for someone who likes a huge screen.
Pros:
* 17,3 inch flat screen!!.
* Quick!.
Cons:
* The originall battery life, just 2 1/2 hours.
* Webcam low def.
* Office’s 60 days trial.
* Not pre installed antivir.
In general I’m pleased with my laptop. Most of the cons are things that I can fix or buy.
this is the first laptop I have owned so my experience can only relate to a product I have. Bought this computer for under 500.00 a week ago and have been thrilled. Has a fantastic screen and a large keyboard that works well for an average typist. Delete button is strangely placed, but the keyboard reacts well at the factory settings. I have not found the touch pad to be in the way of typing as some have said. The touch pad is nice because of the texture and the fact it is virtually invisible when you look at the computer. It shows no fingerprints of any kind. The rest of the computer does pick up prints that are easily taken care of.The screen is a bit reflective in some settings and may work a small better with a filter or just exchange the backround of your pages and it helps. It is a bit large so it is not going to fit most standard briefcases. I have found several sleeves that work well and a bag that works. I take it to work and although a 15.6 would be a bit simpler on the back…the large screen and fantastic keyboard more than make up for it. Windows 7 has been fantastic fun to learn and does provide some nice features. I run mozilla fiefox so i have told some features will not be optimized by not by IE. Set up was simple for home wifi a couple of other places have required a bit more work. Not sure how well the webcam works, not a huge top for me. It is a gorgeous product to look at, feels solid and has worked well for me.
