 Good hardware for the money |
| This is a nice computer however rating this thing is like comparing a head of lettuce. There is little difference between it or something from HP or Dell. I bought it by price and am pleased. The display is crystal clear, the processor, memory and disk drive are adequate but not great - you have to pay more money for more storage or speed. For word processing, web browsing and occassional office tasks this thing is more than adequate as equipped. |
 Bad Buy |
| This computer is a very bad buy, it has a number of problems. The Monitor has a weak light that turns off while in use. The mouse is defective, the sensitivity is off, it can get really sensitive to very dull, also it clicks without you using the button this gets really annoing while writing. Its processor is a celeron, means ... in german, it might be a gigahertz processor but the computer doesn't use the full power. |
 Great Value |
| This is my second Toshiba... the first being a Tecra, which I still use, but which was just too slow and old to do any graphics work. I LOVE THIS MACHINE....XP is fine, my older software installed without a problem. the sound is wonderful, the screen is crisp and clear. Complaints? It's a little heavy and a little big. Since I mainly use it as a desktop replacement, and move it around in the house, it's not an issue. If I were doing a lot of traveling with it I'd want something lighter. There is an online manual, but it's not very detailed. Customer service is helpful, though. it would be nice to have a manual for the XP operating system, and I'd love to figure out how to get rid of all the pop-up messages. Invasive. The only other issue is that the cursor sometimes jumps around....and I can't figure out why. But all in all, I'm really pleased with it. I haven't seen anything else on the market with as much to offer at this price. |
