This is a LOT of computer for the money. I love that the RAM is upgradeable even though it runs beautifully fast right out of the box.   The screen is great and I like the non-shiny finish of the screen, so there is no glare at all. The keyboard is the perfect size (for my regular-sized girl hands)  This is the 2nd Toshiba laptop in my household. We have absolutely loved all of them. This one is definitely incredible, and the best of the bunch. The A505-S6995 is no exception. This laptop comes equipped with everything I could possibly need and more hard drive than I will ever use. I didn't find that there was too much junk I had to uninstall...just the usual Norton software  The speed of the processor is wonderful. The premium speakers are quite noticeable as it seems like most mid-range laptops have junky speakers. I would actually listen to music or watch a movie on this one without even having to plug in my headphones. I would not hesitate to recommend this laptop. I have had the best of experiences with every Toshiba brand product I've had over the years and the 2 laptops in my household, are stellar in their performance.
