Great system at a great price
I bought this computer for my father in law. I chose it because of the huge hard drive for a laptop(250GB), the 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core Processors, and the 17" widescreen and full keyboard (has the numbers to the right). At my house we are a Mac family, but my father in law is 75 and has only known windows so we decided to purchase a pc for him. For the price, we got an awesome computer. It has the same processors as my 20"imac, and for half the price.
The only cons I have with this laptop is that:
(a) it's a pc (we just love macs)
(b) it runs on Vista (at least it's premium edition).
Other than that, if your looking for a lot of computer for a little money, then this is it!
My father in law only uses it to surf the web, check email, and look at pictures of the family we send. So for him, it works out perfect.

Business Use
I purchased two of these as business laptops. Overall performance is good and the screen has moderate to good clarity. I have primarily used Dell laptops until now and find the keys and think pad buttons on the Toshiba to be a little bit cheap but they perform well enough for the price of the laptop. One annoyance is a single pixel in the screen that goes to red when the screen is showing darker colors and not enough of an annoyance to return/exchange. The webcam is grainy but I don't intend on using it. Excessive bloatware took a while to remove but it can be done and this is a consistent industry standard. I will be purchasing a third and will be getting an HP for comparison. The three star rating is for good solid performance. A four rating would require more of an investment in a laptop and a five would be a complete custom job.
