Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: fast computer, horrible touchpad Comment: if you want to use this laptop at a variety of locations, don't buy it. the touch pad is horrible. and its unfortunate because for something so simple, it makes such a huge difference and really effects this computer. it is very powerful but without using an external mouse (which can be obnoxious if you move your computer around at all), its not very enjoyable to use. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Value Comment: I have had this product for almost three months now. So far so great. It has almost everything you need in a home laptop. It is a bit big and heavy so is not appropriate to move around often but great to watch movies, browse the web, etc. I have not run computational intensive programs on it yet but with its powerful processor and 4G RAM it won't disappoint.
Few small issues:
All the USB and other connectors are located at front-sides or front and not at the rear of the computer. This makes the connecting wires looking awkward on the desk and I somtimes hit the USB interface of my mouse while moving it.
When the top/monitor is folded down when the computer is on, the mouse-pad gets hot and when opened it does not function properly for about a minute (until it cools down). Customer Rating: Summary: Toshiba Laptop Comment: An excellent laptop. Works and looks great!
Pluses:
Design, Features, Price
Minuses:
Camera is not good.
It would have been so much better if the camera matched the overall laptop quality. The picture quality from the built-in camera is hardly clear and simply a disappointment. Customer Rating: Summary: Sad day for me Comment: My lap top was great but the microphone was defective and there was noise like old radio satic all the time and got worse each time I tried to use it. So I have returned it and a refund is supposed to be forth coming so I can purchase another one. I hope it comes soon. Customer Rating: Summary: VERY Nice Laptop, GREAT PREFORMANCE!!! Comment: I liked it so much, I made an Unboxing video! [...]
