Double Trouble.......2007-06-01

I had the precursor to this laptop and it was great. This one- not so great. It freezes constantly, it's slow, it gets hot. It wouldn't recognize the AC adapter 50% of the time from day 1. Toshiba would not replace the adapter - wanted me to mail it in for repair. I used my friends adapter - charges and powers up just fine. They still want me to mail it in and want me to pay for a new adapter. Customer service is no help. I will never buy this brand again. Buy a Lenovo x61

DO NOT BUY.......2007-03-29

I'm sorry but this review is going to be quick so I'm going to get right to the point. This computer is worthless. I've owned this computer since October and although the pen-tablet-writing seems fun at first it becomes boring and useless after a few months. Of the 80 GB HD I lost roughly 15-20 GB of useless junks which cannot be deleted. The screen is smaller than one thinks(only about a foot long) and the battery life is a joke. I need to plug in a charge the computer at least once a day. The biggest problem of all is the motherboards. This entire line of computers had and has a full recall of these things if they have extreme freezing problems. My computer was freezing everytime I got up from the sofa to my desk. I sent it in and got it back four weeks later. I open the box and the things frozen. I've stopped using it. I upgraded to Mac, spent some extra money (which is really worth it) and got a computer that has had no problems since I got it in February. The battery on the Toshiba lasted about 1.5 hours while my Mac's goes up into the high 3 hour low 4 hour range. I has three times the RAM, twice the size HD, plays HD movies and DOESN'T FREEZE! Don't wait around buy a Mac. Worth every penny.

Super Lightweight Tablet PC, Super Toshiba Quality!.......2006-10-19

I'm using this laptop as I write this review. The laptop exhudes typical Toshiba quality, and arrives fully packed with extra software. I only wish Microsoft would quit pushing its 'trial' Office 2003 on everyone's computers. if you use the 'buy now online' Microsoft feature, the price to buy it is $300! You can shop around and get a better bargain and most people are using Office anyway, so drop the trial version, Microsoft! Besides, you don't even get the CD. Toshiba includes One Note, which I haven't gotten the hang of, and MS Works. Works is a great free program because it now includes the ability to save as Word or Excel files to take to work.

The screen on this laptop is nice and bright. At night I use it at half power, and I get great battery life. When using the Tablet PC function, it responds very nicely. The writing feels like you're using a nice, fat felt pen. The conversion time from laptop to tablet screen takes a while as does boot up. Also, a hint to those who will buy this one. I kept changing the screen resolution from 1200 to 1024 because it was just too small viewing for me. When I restarted the laptop it went back to high resolution. The trick: use the Intel Graphics manager instead of the Windows manager. The hard drive is 80gb and already I lost about 15gb to Toshiba stuff on it. The keys kind of wiggle around and are clicky, but they work well and I don't have too much of the cursor jumping around while I'm typing.

I took this laptop to Salem Oregon with my wife and while travelling, it received high marks for the 'coolness factor.' A lot of people liked it and a lot of people stared at it! Sure was easy to tote through the airport, though! After owning an eight pound Dell! The utilities supplied by Toshiba for wireless and Bluetooth work flawlessly, and the wireless connection has been excellent.

I called Toshiba once and got tech support in the Phillipines. The tech was cool and very sharp. He helped me fix my issue in three minutes and I wasn't on hold for more than that. If you send in the Registration Card you get a free USB Toshiba laptop mouse, too!

I'm trading this work computer with another department for a Toshiba U205 12.1" widescreen. I've never had a need for the tablet pc functionality, I'm more comfortable typing than writing on the tablet. But I could see how a businessperson who did a lot of presentations could fire this baby up and plug in a projector very easy and do a show with Powerpoint or make notes on a document with One Note. Very cool functionality!

Toshiba is pulling to the front of the pack in sales because their products rock! They're sturdy, exhude class, and are very smart devices all around. I'd also recommend you buy the very cool Toshiba laptop case that is offered with this computer. Buy this computer, you'll be glad you did!
