My desktop computer died..so we were in the market for a new one. I went to Start Sampling and reviewed what people were saying about some of the laptops that were out there.

I got a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7825 and find it great,especially for a first time laptop user. The gal at Best Buy was very...

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,...

Have had occasion to work on several of these. One of which almost burned down a clients home. The other is still on life support. I wouldn't touch a Toshiba Satellite if it was the only Laptop on the planet. Toshiba makes great other products but NOT this laptop. Way to many others to chose from to settle.

I absolutely love my Toshiba.  I've never had a problem with it being slow, crashing or anything.  You may read reviews online that say the battery life isn't good, but actually, the more you run your Toshiba on battery, over time, the battery life is extended.  I actively use my computer on battery for almost 3 hours before having to plug it back in.  Also, the color quality of the screen is really good, and the letters don't wear off my keys, which is a pet peave of mine.  It's extremely user-friendly, and also has good security features.  If you listen to a lot of music or watch tv on... review »

I bought this laptop almost three years ago on sale with my tax refund. I lot of bad things have happened to me since then and I have lost or had to sell most all of my belongings.

One of the few items I refuse to give up is my Toshiba Satellite laptop. It does everything I want. I watch T.V. and Movies, burn C.D.'s, talk on skype (super cheap phone service), operate my online business, take online college classes and so much more.

 What do I not like:

Vista, I had it removed and replaced with XP but, I unfortunately got a virus and had to use the recovery disks (another awesome Toshiba inclusions)...

the computer itself is excellet. it has a nice big screen that is very bright and clear. the graphics are amazing and the programs that it has are wonderful once you figure out how to use them. the updated verzions of things are sometimes hard to figure out because you are so use to the old ones. like microsoft powerpoint but the new one is so much better once you figure out how to use it, you can do and add so much more than before with everything right at the click of a button instead of searching for everything. the computerized tour is great for the ones who have a hard time learning how to...

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...

Toshiba is the best laptop comany I used so far. I acendetlly put my computer by the heater and went to Wal-Mart for 30mins. When I came back The back of my compter was burnt. Took it outside in the cold hoping it would help. I didnt know what to do. Well, It left this white spot on the screen. I thought it wasnt never going to go away. Then eventually it went away and just left a speck of white on the screen. Its been one year later and the computer still works great. I think just for that any Toshiba computer is the best built and the way to go. I wont buy from any other brand. And no I dnt have... review »

An easy to use laptop with lots of nice add ons. comes with a built in mic and fingerprint reader, but the latter is not compatible with Mozilla. Comes pre-installed with Vista which can be a problem if you're new to the OS. Comes with Windows Vista Home Premium so some features you're told you can only use if you upgrade. Most games pre-installed are demos. Lightweight and extremely portable it's great for a multi-tasker or avid downloader with plenty of space. Comes with media card reader and wonderful speakers!

This laptop is great. It is also not very expensive. It has great picture quality. My only problem with it is its start up time and low sound quality. The volume control is also a problem, it is not the usual up and down buttons. It has a scroll thing and it is located near the bottom directly in the middle. Right now I am sitting with my laptop in my lap and every time I move it the volume either gets turned up or turned down. This is a very user friendly laptop!

I have had my laptop for about 2 months now.  So far it is really fast and I am getting use to Vista.  It is really easy to use.  The monitor is very bright and easy to read.  It was very affordable.  After all of my rebates I ended up paying $399.

Great computer, no problems with installed hardware/software. My only complaint is the battery charge sucks. I'll get another Toshiba when I upgrade.  Another issue is that I needed to replace the keyboard, I got on-line help so it was easy, even for a novice tinker.

Unlike my desktop computers over the years, my Toshiba Satellite has worked well for me even after the warranty lapsed. However, the battery does not run long when not plugged into an ac adapter and it is heavy.

I LOVE this laptop. Im actually using it right now. I bought it for a good price, and I use it for multiple of reasons. Laptops are always better to get than a desktop, and it's the best to get a toshiba.
