I have had this computer for about a year now, i bought it to take to uni with me. I have found it has a tendency to be very slow, i do not seem to have as much memry as it claimed to have when i bought it. i was supposed to have 256, but only seems to have 190. i dont know if this is a problem with what the computer is registering, or whether it is a problem many of this make have. It takes a very long time to start up, but when it gets there it is a good laptop, it eventually speeds up if you leave it for a while to sort itself out. it is a widescreen, which is goo for watching films. The volume is really good, a lot better compared to many of my friends laptops. The picture quality on the screen is good. But as this is no longer a top of the range lap top, if you want super speedy, amazing graphics and lots of memory this may not be the model for you. As a brand Toshiba a good, i would recomend them even if you do not pick this model. There are 4 usb ports, you can use wireless internet and netweorking, it has a cd drive and apparently the ability to burn CDs and DVDs, but for some reason i havnt got mine working yet - this may just be me being stupid tho! I am not great with computer hardware, so there are lots more things that this model has that i wouldnt be able to explain,so sorry about that. The laptop is quite light compared to many other laptops. Overall, this laptop it good, if a bit slow.
