I purchased this remote after looking at several vendors and reviews. As I am finding more and more Best Buy pricing and support surpasses Ebay hands down. The remote was needed to control a Visio TV, Comcast DVR, Sony Receiver, Samsung Blue Ray, and a Home Theater PC. Using the simple online programming I was able to create commands for several devices using a single button. I was able to also include the house video surveillance system into the mix. The only minor improvement I would like is brighter back lighting on the remote buttons. I have purchased 2 more and love the ease and clarity of operation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have quite a few of these and have tried using after market solutions. They work most of the time but we always seem to have some annoying problem show up. Using Epson supplies we have NEVER had any issue

The Good: Quick setup and deployment, easy to upgrade memory and to an SSD, lite weight and fairly durable case, very thin and ports are well placed, HDMI output is flawless, audio playback is better than most laptops this thin, I upgraded to 16GB of DDR3-1600 and a Samsung EVO 850 500GB and the laptop screams. The display is bright and very clear, touch screen is very accurate. Not a bunch of bloat ware and the anti-virus program included is not a trial, it is a year so protection doesn't do the dell drop and leave you unprotected and offering to continue the service for a much higher cost that you could obtain the same software from another vendor.
The Not So Good: Opening the laptop can be challenging especially if you are even mildly handicapped, perhaps a small piece that extends a little further out on the top would solve the issue, when using the touch screen the track pad still operates so the laptop sometimes seems possessed making selections and changing pages or closing docs, picking the laptop up with the outside finish is dicey, it is smooth enough to slip out of your hands, again this applies to even mildly handicapped people and can be easily resolved with a couple pieces of rubber grip material on the top and bottom.
The Final Word: Very lite with great battery life, fast with good audio playback and HDMI, screen is bright and touch screen works flawlessly, decent software additions and a real full version one year anti virus program. I really think this deserves 4 and 3/4 stars as the smaller issues can be resolved easily and do not apply to the mainstream users. Our agency will put this as an approved laptop for use so I would recommend this to anyone. Review was written a month after purchase and after fairly heavy use.
P.S. Toshiba PLEASE make windows 10 drivers and an EASY pathway to upgrade.

My PC is running WIN10.

Has the software for this remote been upgraded to allow me to use it once it has been purchased?
Yes I am running windows 10 pro 64 bit without any problems. It does seem not to like certain USB3 ports but works on any USB2.

Does the product have a faint smell when new and in use?

Very faint smell when brand new. Is that normal for a laptop? It happens when the fan is running. This is my first laptop, so I don't know if it's common for the fan to omit a little bit of a smell in the beginning?
I haven't noticed any smell but if yours does give it a couple weeks and if still present contact tech support. If the smell is like something burning like plastic or wires shut it down and contact Toshiba

Is the fan loud?

My current laptop (HP bought in 2012) has an obnoxiously loud fan. Is the fan in this quieter?
No, in fact even on a hot day you can't hear it.

Does the keyboard hurt your wrist

I have this computer, and it might be how I type, but the little edges that are made to make sure the keyboard not to get hurt when in tablet mode, hurt my wrist. After typing I get red marks on my right wrist. I put some material under my wrist on the computer but that is kind of rubbish looking. Anyone else have this? It is only the case when I have the computer on a desk.
I have not had any problem from the keyboard. It takes a little getting used to the keys as there is no click confirming you hit it but the keyboard keys take a lite touch to actuate. I have used mine for a month with no pain and the backlit keys are easily visible.
