I purchased this to be used like a netbook, except bigger and with all the benefits of a laptop. For $320 (Best Buy) you can't go wrong. For a light mobile laptop that is as quick as you need it to be and offers all the features a netbook doesn't, this is a perfect alternative. This will make a perfect laptop for a teen, college student or the person on the run. This isn't a Toshiba high end laptop, but for surfing the Internet, using Office and connecting it to my cable line and recording TV, this thing handles it all with no problems and does it fairly quickly. The graphics and sound quality is pretty good, and the 15" screen is perfect for watching TV. I am impressed and I am glad I came upon this opportunity instead of going with a netbook for just a bit more. This is a nice laptop and a steal for what I paid, even for the price offered on Amazon, but I recommend checking around (Best Buy on-line). You can't go wrong, Toshiba makes great products and from what I have seen in the week of using this, this is one of them.

Incredible computer for the price!

I bought this computer three weeks ago from Best Buy for 349. I can't believe the value for the price. I love windows 7 -- it is much quicker than vista and they have added some very nice features. All the MS Office programs load quick as well as any other program I have used. It comes preloaded with Norton Internet Security. I really hate it when they load programs to get you hooked for 30 days free and then remind you every hour that it is time to buy, however, Norton is a very good fit for this computer and it doesn't seem to eat up any processing speed running in the background. I'm going to wait another week then part with some hard earned money for the annual subscription. The only negative with this computer is that the cooling fan cycles on and off which can be annoying if you are working in a quiet area. It does it job, though and keeps the computer cool. Bottom line: Unless you are a power hungry gamer, you can't go wrong with this computer.
Great Computer for the price

My grandparent's less-than two year old Compaq decided to give out very prematurely. It had similar issues to what Xbox 360's are having, if your curious. It's semi-fixed now, but that's beside the point :P Anyway, I found one of these at Best Buy for $320 so I figured I'd give it a shot. I was a little disappointed when I realized it lacked duel core, but honestly the new Celerons are miles ahead of the earlier models.

Now, I can't vouch for what was originally loaded seeing as I removed Windows 7 and loaded Windows Vista SP2. However, with a clean slate, it runs very well. It boots exceptionally fast and doesn't struggle with anything we throw at it. Youtube HD, hulu, flash-based sites, etc, it all works very well. Honestly there's not much else their computer is used for, but most any basic tasks should be handled quite well. Heat is manages pretty well. It's not as cool as my Core 2, but better than their old laptop (Athlon X2) and pretty resonable when using basic features.

I suppose my only real complaints would be the cosmetics and the battery life. Cosmetics is minor. It's a larger laptop than most 15.6" with more empty space around the keyboard than's really desired. There are also no soft buttons as you may see in the pictures, but those usually remain untouched on my machines. It does, however, have a nice volume roller along the front, so that's a nice plus!

As for battery life, two hours is probably stretching it. I'll use it off the plug while I'm at their house and probably can squeeze around 2 hours out of it using very basic things such as Meebo or browsing this site. Once you start watching Youtube videos, the life (as with most lappies) drops dramatically.

All in all, a good laptop for basic usage. It's more aimed for the desktop replacement segment than portability though, so don't expect to be carrying it around all that much.
