Compared to my previous laptop (another Toshiba from a few years ago), this is one is so much faster and better in so many ways:I really liked:
The price: sub £400, for a super specification: Intel Core i5 2nd generation (with integrated graphics) with plenty of hard disk space and RAM.
The screen: large 15.6 inch with crisp / bright pictures. HD movies really come alive here (but the picture will get darker if viewing from an angle)
The keyboard: even for a "budget" laptop, this is a full size keyboard with large palm rest. The touch pad also has multi touch gestures that I use often for zooming in/out when browsing online. Overall the quality of the finish of the laptop is much better than I expected.
Comes with Bluetooth (no need to buy those USB bluetooth adapter) to get my pictures transferred from my mobile phone.
I liked:
The initial set-up: simple and reasonably fast.
The warranty from Toshiba: pick-up and return for 12 months.
The enhanced sound software (SRS): no hifi quality but makes a big difference to "standard" sound. I now always keep on.
The free pre-installed software, especially Office Starter (Excel/Word) and Nero.
I did not like:
Toshiba always pre-install several of their own software/drivers that I prefer to turn off / disable to speed up booting time. Some of the software is also only for a trial period (e.g Norton).
Overall, I am very happy with it and would certainly highly recommend.

Bought as a home laptop, quality is superb, screen excellent.Fast speeds- iPlayer, youtube, lovefilm streaming all work in HD and are completely jolt and pause-free.
Keypad is very easy to use and comfortable- number pad at the side very useful.
PC connection to our 37" sony led tv displays in excellent quality and films are ..nearly..as good as dvd- I think an HDMI will be on the cards soon (laptop has this plug too which is handy).
All in all, excellent.

Flimsy Keyboard, By

This laptop was at an Amazon weekly deal price and good value for the spec.However ... I found on arrival that the keyboard was extremely flimsy and it flexed and bent, especially on the left hand 'A/S/D' side. It felt like there was nothing behind the keyboard to support the keys when pressed.
Unfortunately I had to return this laptop as I was not confident it would withstand normal use. I suggest anyone thinking of buying should check it out 'in the flesh' first.
