Almost Perfect
By DONE
At the time I bought this laptop I didn't know much about computers.I wanted one I could run any program with or game, I got this model because the processor is really fast and the hard drive is big.The price is really good for these high numbers, when I brought it home I loaded all my programs on it (word, excel) and games.The newest ones I loaded are Diablo 3 and Strcraft 2.The install time was much faster then my older computer the turbo boost really helped. The only downer is the graphics card, I have to run these two games on low graphics otherwise it is way to choppy. I found out because the graphics card is integrated, I didn't know what that was tell after I purchased the laptop. So if you are a person that uses a laptop like 60% work, 40% movies and music and 10% games this laptop is for you.

By Thaddeus Cultt
I bought this computer from Office Deopt at the beginning of August when they had an instant rebate on it for $699. The first one I got home with had numerous pixels stuck white, so I exchanged it for another. The second also had a single stuck pixel, so I made another trip to the store. This time I tried the 3rd. one out at the store before I left, and the screen was great.I'm very pleased with this system. The i7 processor is very fast, and the system is pretty responsive, except for the slow HD (only 5400rpm). The graphics are the HD4000 version of the Intell intergrated graphic chipset (part of the Ivory Gate 3rd. Generation chipset) are now DirectX 11 compliant, and works quite well. You won't be playing games at high detail levels, but it works with a lot of them very well at reduced settings. I have been using it with Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5, and it performs quite well.I've only had it for a few weeks, so I hope it holds up well over time (it's the first Toshiba I've owned). There is a lot of bloatware that can be uninstalled which seem to speed up point.My wife bought the i5 version of this laptop and it was perfect out of the box.The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is due to having 2 factory sealed units with bad screens in a row. It made me question their quality control.UPDATE 1/16/13: It's been 5 months now, and I'm still very happy with this laptop. I upgraded to Adobe CS6 Suite and it runs great. Even added a Wacom Bamboo Tablet. Was planing on upgrading the memory to 16 Gb but it uses 2 4 Gb sticks instead of one 8, and I would have to replace all the memory, so I figure I'll wait until I need the RAM an upgrade then. Also after seeing Windows 8, I'm glad to have bought this when Windows 7 was still shipping. If I wanted a Surface Tablet, I would have got one over a laptop.Thaddeus Cultt

Great Computer
By Dom
This is an extremely good computer for the price. I have recommended this computer to all my friends that are looking for computers. The Intel HD 4000 is Intel's best iGPU and can even run games like Skyrim. The 3rd Gen Processor is wicked fast too. If you are looking for a gaming laptop, don't buy this. If you want a computer to do basic tasks and some complicated ones that will last for a while (4 years at least), this is the computer you are looking for. You can't go wrong with an i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM.
