very good computer
This is a great computer, for a great price, if you don't mind spend 15 minutes of you time unistalling all the toshiba advertising.
Also one of the dvd drivers, stop working, but that was easily fix by goin to toshiba.com and download the driver, or simply run it from the CD of recovery.
I don't have any problems whit vista, you just have to download all the actualizations, and whit time you get used to.
Besides that, is a great computer, and toshiba has a great custumer services support in almost every country.

Good purchase
As always a solid toshiba product. Ignore what the other guy says, you can run XP on this machine, but you will lose some of the features, as with any other Vista based machine.
Value for money, this is a great buy..

avoid toshiba - deserves no stars
deceptive advertising/specifications
It was my misfortune to buy one of these lemons. Toshiba does not mention in their ads or specs that it is
built to only run vista. Installing any other operating system will void the warranty. They also don't mention that there is no actual vista disk included, only rescue disks to reinstall vista and the other crapware preinstalled on the hard drive. Over the course of more than two hours, their customer disservice department provided only excuses, evasions an misdirection. At one point, rather than provide information, they transferred my call microsoft. I will never again buy any Toshiba product - Toshiba cannot be trusted.
