Toshiba Satellite A135-S4487 Laptop — 

Am I the only one who has a problem with the Toshiba Satellite laptop?

It seems that this computer has a been a problem since the get-go.  Now only 2.5 years old, my Toshiba Satellite computer has crashed 4 times!  That's 4 times in 2 years.  After the first time I lost precious pictures and videos, I bought an external hard drive and started saving everything to it.  Thankfully I backed up my files, because this baby crashed and burned 3 more times.

Thank goodness for the Geek Squad and my warranty because I paid $0 to get it recovered each time.  I didn't download a virus, no one dropped the computer and the Geek Squad had no idea (all 4 times) why my Toshiba crashed and burned.

My other issue with the Toshiba Satellite is that it heats up very quickly and gets quite hot before it cools itself down.  Not so great when you are in shorts with the laptop on your...well...LAP!

Don't get me wrong...I still use the Toshiba Satellite daily and prefer it over the Dinosaur PC in the office.  Yet, when this laptop crashes and burns for the 5th time, I will be shopping around for a new one!

On no that's terrible. I would be so afraid to put anything important on there thinking it would crash again. Thanks for the review.
