What's great about it: Good price, good everyday performance
What's not so great: Resolution is somewhat low, graphics card lacks power for high-end gaming
I did some research before purchasing this laptop. I was looking for something simple I could take to work and to college, but something with at least enough power to do software development. After a few days of searching, I found the new Toshiba laptop with better specs than most of the laptops I had looked at.
So far, the laptop has been very good. Performance is pretty great, the memory and disk is larger than most laptops at this price, and the touchscreen is pretty nice. The graphics card is decent, and can run simple games like Minecraft acceptably (roughly 30fps), but I doubt high-quality games would run very well. This is not the laptop for you if you're looking for a gaming laptop.
The 1366x768 is less than I would have liked, but it's actually pretty decently sized. The keyboard is also pretty good - good key travel. I wish the PrintScreen button would have been separate, though.
This product is... Big screen size, easy to set up
