Toshiba PSAG8U-023019 Satellite A305-S6883 15.4" Notebook Review

I've had this laptop for over 2 years now and I love it. I use it daily and I've never had a major problem with it. My charger broke about a year ago, which was frustrating and I bought an aftermarket one from Staples. The charger has loosened my charging port, but that is the fault of the charger... not Toshiba.

The only thing I wish was different was that my key pad light up. Black keys with no backlight make for difficult typing at night.

Toshiba Satellite A355-S6935 16.0-Inch Laptop Review

Toshiba Satellite A355-S6935 16.0-Inch Laptop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

This Toshiba Satellite replaced a four-year-old Dell Inspiron. As a writer, I use my laptop every day and wanted a comfortable keyboard and touchpad. This Satellite delivers with a sturdy keyboard, enough space to rest your palms comfortably while typing and a textured touchpad.
The touchpad has touch scrolling on both the right side and bottom (handy for scrolling along large spreadsheets), so you don't have to hold down the left-click button to scroll--much easier on the hand. The touchpad scrolling settings are adjustable and can be removed.
The click buttons are large and placed so that your palms don't brush them while you type.
I also wanted a laptop with excellent video quality for watching DVDs and Play Now features from NetFlix. Videos are crisp and colorful on this 16-inch screen and it's easy to see from several angles (unlike my old LCD-screen where the screen had to be tilted just exactly right to avoid the black shadow effect).
If you like to watch movies in bed on the computer with your honey, this computer is great for that since both people can see the screen without black shadowing. The light-up DVD controls on the top of the keyboard are also a great feature for watching DVD's in bed.
The speakers are very good quality, with excellent range and can be turned up loud enough to enjoy music or watch a movie from another part of the room.
My most favorite feature of this computer is the volume control. Located on the front, next to the 5:1 memory card reader and headphone jack, is a small wheel that turns left and right, like the volume control on a radio.
It's so simple, it's brilliant! When you have music blasting and the phone rings with a call from a client, a quick flip of the dial and the sound is turned down or off. No more hunting on the keyboard for the Function Key + a picture of a muted speaker.
The Satellite has a built-in webcam that is easily activated with a click. The webcam controls appear whenever your mouse hovers near the left side of the screen.
Speaking of hovering controls, whenever you press the FN (Function) key, a large legend appears at the top of the screen with function controls, which is handy when you don't have your glasses.
All four USB ports are on the sides near the front, as is the network port. It is easier to plug and unplug components, but it's also easier to bump my USB drive when picking up something from my desk.
Did I mention that this computer is blazingly fast? Wow! Need to have five different programs running plus several web pages open? Not a problem for this zippy laptop.
I've been very happy with the Toshiba Satellite and would highly recommend it.

Toshiba Canvio Plus 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive E05A075PBU2XK (Raven Black) Review

Toshiba Canvio Plus 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive E05A075PBU2XK (Raven Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I bought this to have an emergency backup/recovery solution for my daughter's laptop at college.
I selected this particular drive because it was available with a Gold Box discount.

I say "lousy manual" because the only printed material in the box was general stuff about the mechanics of the drive, in about 7 or 8 languages, but no quick start guide or anything to tell someone how to set it up.

So, I plugged it in (just usb, no seperate power plug, which was good), and it immediately proceeded to install backup software without giving any choice. The software was ok, but it installs by default as a service, which is always running to do regular backups. It wasn't what I wanted, so I uninstalled it in favor of a commercial product. I really would have preferred to be allowed to say "no thanks" to the installation.

Once I uninstalled the software, and had the drive set up the way I wanted, it worked fine.

Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5172 15.6-Inch Laptop Review

Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5172 15.6-Inch Laptop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I've had this A665d-S5172 for about 2 months now. So far I am well pleased with the performance of this laptop. I purchased this when Amazon had it for $599. With all the bells and whistles a high end laptop would have for the fraction of the price. I love the blu-ray! you simply just can't go wrong!
Now the Graphics card is ok. If your playing games like Star Craft2 or some other high end graphics game it becomes to much for the graphics card which in turns becomes laggy and your fps lowers to the single digits. It helps that you don't have anything running in the background to improve the performace of your games. Also updating your driver will make it perform a little better. luckily you can change the graphics settings to make it so it is not laggy.
Other then the Graphics card issue I am very happy. Sound is great with harmon/kardon speakers and HD quality screen. The raised tile keyboard and the Fusion(tm) X2 finish is very stylish.
A665d-S5172 has many features that you will love. This is the best laptop for the price and after researching for days I kept coming back to this.
