This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L755-S5244 15.6" LED 4GB/640HD Laptop with Intel Processor (Personal Computers)
I bought two of these for Xmas presents for my grandchildren. I powered them up and personalized them. One thing I noticed right away is that when you plug in a mouse, the smart pad is automatically disabled. I love that!

I would have liked this laptop very much, but the one problem that blew the whole deal for me is the low volume of the internal speakers.
I even returned the first model back to the store and still have the same problem with the replacement model. The internal speakers are way too quiet. I have tried all the usual common fixes, volumne settings, control panel, along with uninstalling and reinstalling the sound drivers and updating the same. The speaker issue is not a small one to me. I have plugged in four different types of external speakers and headphones and most of which gave some improvement, but the volume was turned up to its max and it still was not completely audible for movies and such.
I am very disappointed that Toshiba while making what seems to me a good laptop cannot provide...
