OKAY sooo. i got it like.. 4 months ago.. and its awesome! my first laptop. well im only 14 but like that matters (: lol
its sooo much better than the desktop... god, its so frickin slow lol.
anyway, its reallly awesome and i love it :D
but the webcam for some reason makes it really laggy and hot
and it over heats alot :/

Great overall computer. It has everything in one convenient package. I installed Ubuntu as a second OS (actually the primary as it will be the OS we use the most - Windows sucks) It runs great and everything installed perfectly.
What's great about it: It has everything my little sister needs for school plus a whole lot more.
What's not so great: I'm not a big ATI fan. I would give it all 5's if it came with an Nvidia graphics card
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this product 4 days ago and I absolutely love it. It's fast, has a clear picture, and the speakers are great! I mainly purchased this for online schooling and it was well worth it. The price was AWESOME!
What's great about it: the picture appears so clear and bright
What's not so great: it's kind of heavy and battery only lasts 2 hours
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great computer. I bought it for 549.99 and was shocked with the performance of the laptop for the price I payed. I used it on an airplane and watched a movie with no problems and the battery didn't dye on me during the 2 hour flight. Very good laptop!
What's great about it: Big screen lot of hard drive and memory, runs well, easy to set up
What's not so great: The battery life is short, no other complaints

This Toshiba Laptop was purchased for $519.99. All we needed was a basic notebook (item is rather large and qualifies as a Laptop) for my wife’s college classes. Her only requirements were;
17” screen and a bright one at that,
Web Camera,
Able to run Microsoft Office,
And connect to the internet wirelessly,
10-key,
Pretty simple items and this Toshiba came thru in SPADES!

10-key,
Pretty simple items and this Toshiba came thru in SPADES!
In these areas it is a total knockout. Screen is big and bright. Keyboard was a surprise. The Keyboard felt like it had a full range of motion and there was a tactile feel to it. The included 10-key was also a bonus!
Of course a notebook at this price will give up a few things and that is to be expected.
This unit only has a few connections available on it. But for what my wife needs, it is plenty.
This unit only has a few connections available on it. But for what my wife needs, it is plenty.
Has a SD card reader (Memory stick as well), Wireless LAN, Built in 1.3 mega pixel web camera.
Overall if you are looking for a full notebook (Laptop) computer with a 17” monitor, for an inexpensive price, you can’t afford to NOT to consider this unit!
Software is minimal on this unit and does have trial version of MS Office and MacAfee.
(I deleted all trial versions and installed MalwareBytes and System Mechanic Pro 8.0 for maintaining this computer).
One odd thing is that the touchpad is a bit “off center” of the space bar. This takes a little bit of getting used to.

What's great about it: fairly complete notebook for the price
What's not so great: Touch pad is a "bit" off center of the space bar - limited connectivity

AMAZING GAMING AND FAMILY HOME LAPTOP. I ALSO USE IT FOR OCCASIONAL BUSINESS. MY 16 YEAR OLD SON IS OUT OF HIS HEAD WITH HAPPINESS THAT IT CAN RUN HIS GAMES (LEFT FOR DEAD, RAINBOW SIX VEGAS 2) UNLIKE ANY OTHER COMPUTER (DESKTOP OR LAPTOP) THAT WE'VE EVER HAD. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON ALSO LOVES IT. MOM LOVES IT TOO. WE'RE ALL GOOD!
What's great about it: I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON SUPPOSEDLY BETTER LAPTOPS, AND NOTHING COMPARES
What's not so great: NOTHING THAT I CAN SEE

I bought the recovery disk option, but it was a useless waste of money. The disks were just burned disks. It looks like someone wanted to save money and simply made a copy of the disk, and sold them to me for $60. Don't get the recovery disks, they're a supreme rip off.

I got mine at the $549 price and very happy overall. The screen size is great for watching movies and comes in bright and clear. Havent had any problems with vista (so far). Only issue I have is the webcam that is built-in, comes in very choppy.
What's great about it: Easy to Set-up, Screen size great for movies
What's not so great: webcam is cheap, mine comes in very choppy :(

listen guys for the price you can't beat it. the speed, graphics, and memory are great, @$550. i use it for the basics, email, work, music, and movies. it plays well on my t.v. which was a surprise.for the price i could'nt ask for much more. was gonna upgrade to another toshiba cause i liked this one so much i figured the next level up would be better... but after looking at it i was happy with what i bought, and didn't think it was worth the extra $200.two problems the finger prints suck, it's like a c.s.i. episode everytime you use it, and you can only expand to 4gb. p.s. the battery is pretty weak but at $550..... go for it
What's great about it: for the price...everything
What's not so great: only can expand to 4gb, the fingerprints,battery life

Excellent budget laptop. The large 17" screen has a very clear crisp picture. This is fine as an internet only or Office-type product machine. I wouldn't call it a gaming computer, but you can play minor games on it. With all that size and speed, your battery won't last too long. Maybe about an hour, or less if you're using the ROM drive.
What's great about it: Big & Bright - 3GB Memory
What's not so great: It could do better with a 9-cell battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really love this laptop. It was a great buy for the price. I just would not let the pushy sales people talk you into all the extra things that aren't needed. It's larger than most of the other one's you'll find but if your like me where your not using this to travel & take everywhere you go but at home then the size is perfect. It runs really fast, great sound, and screen looks great. Would definiately recommend.
What's great about it: Really fast & huge screen!
What's not so great: short battery life

First of all I bought two of these Laptops. His and Hers. I was amazingly suprised at how light weight this Toshiba Satellite L350 is, taking into consideration it is a 17 inch screen. My previous laptop was a Dell 15 inch. This Toshiba's screen is vibrant, crisp, clear it is magnificent. The 10-key on the side is so convenient. Speed OMG the speed I love the fast processor. Three USB ports help out alot, one is use constantly for optical mouse which leaves me two additioinal. The Web Cam is awsome, especially along with Skype. And the battery life is perfect for me. What else can I say in the review? Other than buy one it is worth every penny...
What's great about it: PRICE / SPEED / SCREEN SIZE AND CLEARITY
What's not so great: NOTHING its great
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a wonderful laptop for what I use it for. (email and research). Very easy to use. The 10-key on the side is so convenient. It is a little heavy for carrying, but I don't travel much with it anyway.
I recommend this computer to anyone.
What's great about it: Very good buy for the money.
What's not so great: A little too heavy. Short battery life.

When it can time to buy a replacement for our old Toshiba laptop, I chose to stay with Toshiba since the first one worked very well. For the price, you will have a hard (but not impossible) time finding a better laptop.
The good is the AMD CPU which is quite fast and up to the task. The graphics card is capable and a good one at this price. This laptop can run WoW, albeit at low to mid settings. The keyboard feels more like a normal on and not so compressed like other laptops. The screen is vibrant and helps to show off what this machine is capable of.
The bad has mostly been already mentioned previously. It runs hot (especailly when gaming), but this really can't be helped due to the lack of room for proper cooling. 3 GB of RAM, and only upgradeable to 4 is a downer, but still not that bad. Battery on Powersaver mode lasts about 1.5 hours, less when gaming. The webcam is to sensitive to light, but for us we rarely use it so it's not really an issue.
In summary, this is a very good laptop at this price, my only disclaimers would be if you plan on playing games or using away from an outlet for extended periods of time to look at another model, but you can't go wrong with Toshiba
What's great about it: feature packed at a good price
What's not so great: low ram and runs a little hot, battery drains fast
I would recommend this to a friend!
