Compare Notebook or Laptop Computers

UPDATE: Had a problem with it & Toshiba didn't honor warranty. Replaced with a DELL.

I bought this because it's supposed to have a 7 hr battery. It dies around 3-4 hrs. All I run is the internet (browsing, not playing music or videos) and MS WORD. I also have an Acer Aspire One which does last 5 hrs like it says. I think the screen size (more than double) is eating up the energy (I do keep the setting on bright, it's not worth eye strain to save energy).

It's easy to type on & has a full # pad. I can shut it down with a bunch of browsers tabs open and when I re-start those tabs will open right back up where they were.

The Harmon Karmon speakers are better than average for a laptop & the sound goes to a decent level unlike some laptops.

The glossy black is beautiful and does get fingerprints easy, but they are also easy to just wipe off!

Lastly, if you're going to buy online, I recommend Amazon as their customer service... Read more

I have had my laptop for a year and a half and I LOVE it! The only complaint that I have is that it keeps saying that my battery needs to be replaced, and that after a year and a half it doesn't stay charged as long, and the replacement battery is $100, but I hear that is quite common, and that is pretty minor compared to other issues that a laptop can have after a year and a half of use.

When I first was shopping for a laptop I did a lot of research online and could not find a better laptop with as much memory (4G/320G)for a better price. At first I did NOT like the huge battery sticking out of the bottom, but I am glad that saw past that because it serves as a tilt which I love because I have Guyon's tunnel(almost identical to carpal tunnel) and I can type all day and not have problems, also I can use it on my bed without having to worry about having something under it so it doesn't overheat.

I'm typing to you right now on this laptop.

I got it a little over a year and a half ago and so far it has served me very well

It came with a huge battery that stuck out of the bottom, aka about an inch above flush, with rubber feet on the bottom so it served to prop up the laptop and give a nice tilt to the keyboard and made it easier to type. The problem with it was that it stuck up like crazy and would barely fit in my bag with the battery in (or even separately since it was a block of pure battery) so I traded my friend the fat battery for a battery that sits flush and lasts about 2 hours.

When I did have the big battery, that thing would last forever when I had eco mode on with the laptop. Definitely lasted almost all day at school giving it a break at lunch time and all. 8 hours is the record and 6 or 7 was more common.

I use it for having a million tabs open in Firefox, online shopping, youtubing, amazoning, tons and tons of... Read more
