I bought my laptop in march for £1,300 and it is fantastic, it is a lot better than the previous Toshiba laptop I purchased which was also very good. I am yet to find a fault with Toshiba's products and service. I damaged my old laptop twice and both imes my warranty dealt with it brilliantly. In my opinion they are second only to Sony.

Weight and size are very important to me, so this is ideal. The battery is great it lasts me 5 to six hours depending on the task, which is a lot better than any laptop I've had before. The wireless LAN is also very good, easy to set up and works a charm. The touch pad has a few little problems as it has too many functions, e.g. certain parts of it will send you back to the last internet page and other parts will scroll a page when you just want to move the cursor. I suppose it is a good feature if you know how to use it properly, but I don't as of yet. Another slight problem is the screen, it is just 12" which is ok for most people but I prefer a larger screen. Then again I can just hook it up to my projector if I want a larger screen. This computer is very small, just 2cm thick, making it very easy to store/carry. It has an impressive 40GB of storage as well as capability for as much as 1.28 RAM

In my opinion this is one of the best sub£1300 laptops available today, And I would recommend it, and Toshiba to anyone
