Rating: - Don't buy toshiba!!!
I just got this laptop for a month and it always shut down all of a sudden every few days without advance warning. It really pissed me off. I brought it to the TOSHIBA repair center and after a week of inspection, they said there wasn't any problem. So I brought it home thinking that it was alright but the auto-shutdown happened again and again :( Then the DVD-drive make such a loud noise once in a while and some of the function button just don't work (I still don't know how to change the brightness of my display until now). The battery also doesn't last long. Nothing is right with this laptop. It is such a disappointment. ARGH!!!! Driving me nuts....

Rating: - Pretty good notebook for the price.
I got this notebook for college and I have to say its been pretty smooth sailing since I bought it. I bought it from Best Buy which I highly recomend to anyone really interested, because if you go when there's a sale, you can get a bundled pack so you can get printers/scanners and additonal software for a pretty good price.
Pros:
- decent amount of memory
- pretty stable
- thin & light ( i have to say it looks sexy :) )
- the speakers are really good for built in's
Cons:
- the battery life is really below average

So if you just want a notebook for school/ home this is a pretty good investment.

Rating: - I relly like my laptop!!
This laptop is very user friendly, and has a lot of unique capabilities. The screen is thin, and wide for a fantastic crisp looking screen display; however, the price is the biggest downfall of this product. In fact I got my laptop for free!! Just paste this site in your address bar, and have fun with it! [...]

Rating: - What good is a laptop without software?
I purchased this laptop in August 2005 with the understanding that it came loaded with Windows XP home edition.
I found out that the software loaded was a trial version (good for 60 days)and when I attempted to enter the software's "permanent" keycode, I got an "invalid keycode" message.
According to Toshiba's tech support, I have to purchase the software at an additional cost of $200.00.
I could have saved some money and aggravation by buying a different brand. I would not recommend the Toshiba.

Rating: - TS-M45-S165 laptop
I have three weeks with this computer. Up to now it has been reliable, fast and do not become hot on duty which is very important to me. The only thing I do not like so much is the screen size and shape, It is not square, it is kind of retangular, maybe because I am used to squared screen monitors that I find it weird.
