Toshiba Satellite Laptop — 

I have had two Toshiba Satalites and am very happy overall. The one BIG problem I've had is with my last one. Its a Satelite p15 s420 has had two broken power jack plugs. Took to a computer store and they wanted over $400 to replace the mother board. I bought the part and had it soddered in and worked fine. 3 mos later the same thing happened yet it was harder to find the part. If this is going to happen all the time I won't be buying anymore Toshiba laptops. My first one was a satelite also and used for 3 yrs before the hinges gave way. They do not have hinges so you can fix it. The p15 I had problems from the first. The monitor went out right away and I had to go through a lot to have them fix it for me. It also over heated. I have to have a cool mat under it all the time to keep it cool. The biggest problem though is the power jack. They need to change it. My son bought one last week new and the only change in it I see is they did finally move that over to the right side instead of on left side back. Will wait to see before I go out and buy another. Otherwise it looks very good and is fully loaded. Very fast. Will wait and see how it is going to hold up before going and getting another one.
