Toshiba Satellite A135-S4487 Laptop — 

I really wasn't looking for anything fancy and that's exactly what this laptop is. I went to Best Buy and bought the cheapest one they had. I was very pleasantly surprised. The large bright screen is great. With the dvd player I get movies from netflix and am able to watch instantly. Having it pre-loaded with Vista was a bit of an issue. Not alot of the programs I use are compatible yet.

 I was concerned about it overheating but I didn't notice an issue with the heat at all.  I do have to agree with the other reviewer about the volume button in a strange place. It basically sits so low that any movement from your leg or waist causes it to fluctuate which is annoying.

 

All in all if your looking for a simple laptop at a reasonable price this is the one.

I also purchased this lap top at Best Buy last week and found it to be a good deal for the price. It is easy to use even though I did not have the "computer geek" add all of the "other programs" for an extra $250.00. I simply removed the programs I did not want from remove programs in the control panel and then added my own programs for spyware and virus protection. I find this lap top easy to use and a great deal for the small amount of money compared to the other lap tops that were available.
