I personally LOVE this laptop. As a student I was looking for something to run all of the normal applications - Microsoft Office, iTunes etc - as well as games and the internet, and this computer is excellent.
From a gaming point of view, it is excellent, and whilst it will not support games such as Call of Duty 4, it runs The Sims 2 and Rollercoaster Tycoon just as well as any desktop. The graphics are good quality (although the webcamera ... ...amazing - the speakers are not tinny, unlike most laptops.
It is also incredibly easy to use, and there is a volume contol dial on the side and built-in buttons to control music. It also has three USB ports, and is very easy to connect to a television. The disk-drive is also very compact, but it does have a tendency to pop open, as the button is located just where you carry the laptop to move it.

Oveall, though, I would definitely recommend this product, and it is my most prized possession!!!
Advantages: The speed, reliability, screen, and usability Disadvantages: The price
...is the 13.3 " | Toshiba TruBrite® WXGA TFT High Brightness display. The display screen quality is fantastic, because of the vividness of its picture quality and images. Weight is 1.9Kg, and isn't in fact that bad. I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. The laptop comes with an integrated 1.3 MP Webcam and microphone. The Webcam software is so easy to use, as it slides on the left screen everytime you start up the laptop.
Nothing lags ... ...features are those provided by Toshiba itself, like the DVD player and DVD Movie Maker. Oh yeah, without forgetting the Norton Internet Security, as additional security. It contains Wireless=WLAN WiFi 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth capabilities, and has three major usb ports handy, alongside two ethernet cable sockets.
It's a very useful laptop, for those on the move because of it's light features and it's weight. ...

I think in the future this company will be a lot better known for making laptops as opposed to TV’s as they are at the minute simply because there laptops a so good.
This laptop looks great, its combining of the colours black and silver on its ...
