Great Deal
By Working Mom
Great things about the Satelite:+ 16" wide screen display - it's beautiful+ Fast, starts up in a couple of seconds and no waiting on your apps+ Huge 500GB hard drive.+ Windows 7, I wasn't expecting much, but no problems, runs without issues+ Microsoft Office, installed, free for 60 days+ Huge high quality speakers, this machine is music and movie ready.+ Attractive+ A little heavy but not bad for its size.+ Toshiba is very reliable+ Motion detector locks the hard drive in place when it detects the laptop is being jostled around.Could be better:> Light above track pad too bright> Keys are LOUD> Norton installed and bugs you about paying every time you log onOverall, this is a great laptop. SOme of the display lights are a little bright and the keypad is noisy. I can forgive that though because this laptop is so fast. I'm never waiting anymore. Windows 7 is proving to be very reliable and easy to use.Initially, the touch pad was "helping" me and this was really annoying. To turn off some of the trackpad features that do things for you: Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound, under the Devices and Printers section click on Mouse. Another dialog pops up, CLick on the Device Settings tab, then on the Settings button. From there you can set up the touch pad the way you want it.I upgraded my laptop to a 12 cell battery and that battery lasts about 7 or 8 hours. If you can afford the extra battery, it's worth it. THe 12 cell does take about 2 hours to charge though.My friends who work in computer repair say they get less Toshibas in the shop than any other brand and highly recommend them.Buy a large laptop case to carry it in. It will not fit in a standard size case.Norton is slow and a pain, I uninstalled it and installed Vipre.

Bad Webcam, but still Great Value!!!
By M. Alexander
Review for the A505-S6004This laptop looks great out of the box and you will be pleasantly surprised by the speed at which windows 7 boots initially. The screen is properly bright and the speakers do a wonderful job for the size that they are. It is not until you start to use it that you will notice the inherent drawbacks that its beauty hides.First thing you will notice is that this thing attracts fingerprints so quickly its not funny. Just typing this review alone and I am sure the police will get a full set of prints if they needed it. :)The next problem i noticed while on msn live messenger. As soon as you start up your webcam, you can see where they saved money in putting this thing together. Its aesthetically pleasing to have a webcam that is built "flush" into the lid but they threw all the functionality of it right out the window. I'm not exaggerating here....THE WEBCAM IS THAT BAD; it has so much noise and no colour correctness AT ALL. You will appear like a Vampire to the person who is receiving your webcam feed. My girlfriend has one of the L505D models from toshiba which is cheaper than this model but the webcam in her's is at least 3 times better.What this model lacks in webcam clarity and resistance to finger prints it makes up for with Battery life. Switching this thing to "eco" mode takes off the LEDs lighting the touch sensitive media control buttons and the "SATELLITE" logo, and also dims the backlight on the screen. In this mode it will achieve roughly 3 1/2 hrs battery life, give or take a couple of minutes depending on the work your doing. The L505D can barely manage past 2 1/2 hrs on battery.In shortTHE Pros:+ Good Battery Life+ Good Sound+ Great Value for the money+ Bright Glossy Display (its a Pro for me)+ Piano Black Fusion Finish Looks great+ 500GB Hard drive (only 426 free initially; that's still alot)THE Cons:- Bad Webcam (don't even think about this machine for "Social Notworking")- Finger Print Magnet (Piano black finish just shows up every little finger print or scratch)

By Ogr8ys1
Just picked this up at Best Buy for $679 and got to say my only complaint is that the keyboard is a little too loud and the touch-pad is deafening, but an easy feature on the bottom of the keyboard can disable the touch-pad with a click of a button. No hunting around windows 7 to try and figure out. The webcam is so so, but I never use it so i don't care.It runs quietly, the i3 processor speed you will notice upon the first boot up and all in all after three days I am very pleased with it.The battery life is excellent as well and I agree with the other 4 reviews. It is a great computer at now even a better price.And no warranty for me sir. Biggest waste of money ever to spend anything on an asset that depreciates as fast as a laptop.4 1/2 stars.Of course right after my price protection ended this laptop is now on sale for 599. You can't beat that price anywhere for what this computer does.
