The Toshiba Satellite L500 is the same as most other toshiba laptops. It looks stylish and can do all the basic functions that you would want for a laptop. However, when you use it, you dont feel very comfortable because it feels very cheap. The keyboard is very flimsy and feels like it is about to break every time you type something and the mouse pad and buttons do not respond well. However, the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard is great as it makes it so easy to type numbers. You can buy this laptop with a range of processors and sizes of harddrive so you can choose the one which suits you best. The display is actually very good but the battery life could have been improved. On my model it will last for a maximum of 2.5 hours on its lowest power setting.
Overall, this laptop is reasonable at most things but not excellent in any of them. I also own a hp pavillion dv6500 which i bought for £50 more (over 2 years ago) and it is so much better (faster/easier to use/more enjoyable to use). I think the L500 has been designed to be a basic laptop for people who are about to buy their first laptop and will have to get used to using one as it is so easy to use. So if you are looking for a more specialised laptop, the L500 is not for you.

Hi there Ike120 ! Read your review - don't be put off by some of the comments, thats not a bad effort for a first review! Would be great if you could tell us a little bit more about the screen size, qthe picture quality, is it any good for gameplay, how easily you get around - can someone like me use it for college ?
