Toshiba Satellite L305-S5883 15.4-inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Onyx Blue Reviews
I really liked this laptop but when it arrived the TAB key was defective. After a few days of hoping it would work itself out, it did not, therefore, I had to return the item. Too bad, I liked this laptop, but ended up shopping elsewhere and buying something even better. Unfortunately, there was not a laptop available to replace this one so I was given 100% money back.
Also, there appears to be so much junk running in the background that the hard drive is constantly grinding away. VERY ANNOYING. I can only assume, Vista is consuming all of the memory. Yes, I've tried adjusting sensitivity settings and even the palm sensitivity setting which has helped some but it is still quite annoying. I actually had to move my wireless router closer to the computer for it to work properly. I disabled much of the software but there still appears to be a lot of overhead running with Vista. And one last thing.
I have to contort my left palm while typing to avoid cursor miscues. All in all, this computer doesn't seem to perform much faster than my old Toshiba with a Pentium 4 processor. I should have bought a MAC. While trying to use Windows Movie Maker, the one song I have in the movie cuts out more and more, with only 20 pictures in the slide show, each time I play it. The touchpad does have a different texture though, but since the touchpad is not countersunk, it is too easy to rest your palm on the touchpad when typing, which causes the cursor to jump all over the place. The touchpad is not countersunk into the palmrest like on my previous Toshiba (it is all just one flat piece of plastic). The wireless G connection has less range than my previous Toshiba.
Even the lower models starts off at 600 bucks and above. This is my first new laptop, and despite of it's hefty price tag, I do like what I've purchased. The final thing about this laptop is that it is a bit pricey. If not, I would try something else.
I don't know if Toshiba is genrally a pricey brand, but if you got the strength and the bucks, I would recommend it. And i'm not with the scroll pad because a small page turner indicator always popped up in the middle of my scroll, so I purchased a mini mouse. I could do arm curls with it. The only thing(s) I don't like about it is that for starters, it's heavy.
Everything from the memory, and even the included webcam suits my needs in both business and personal aspects.
