"Unreliable product, with an 'F' rated customer support by national standards"
If you're reading this review right now, then chances are you want to make sure you are making the right choice.
Let me assure you, if you're planning on purchasing a Toshiba laptop, you are not.
Please, google "toshiba laptop complaints" and get the REAL reviews.
As for my input...
this is a conversation that took place in an authorized toshiba shipping store:
me: "Man, let me tell you something... NEVER buy a Toshiba laptop."
clerk: "With the ammount of them that we ship back every month, I never would."
..just in case you were wondering how many laptops this authorized postal service receives from customer and ships out for repair every month - "..about 30" is the answer that I got
Good luck.

Great first laptop
This is my first laptop and my son thought I should get more ram but whats nice is I can add if I need it. I was pleased with the price, ease of use and the screen is crystal clear. I would recommend to anyone that needs a good basic laptop, after you remove all of the extra software you don't need. There were no reviews when I purchased this laptop and was a little skeptical, but I am very happy I made the purchase.

Nice basic system.
I haven't had it long but I'm very pleased with it so far. The screen looks great, the keyboard feels nice, the touch pad works fine. The overall build quality seems great. It comes loaded with bloatware but then so does every other laptop. The recovery DVD's work (don't ask ;)) but recovery takes a long time and will make you think it's stuck in a loop. It eventually comes back to "out of box state." One nice thing about having done the recovery is that I was allowed to change the size of the partition during the process. I would definitely buy this model if I had it to do over again.
