I was looking for a gaming laptop to replace the previous one i had. This one caught my attention because of the amd fx processor it has. I was looking for something that was able to handle my games smoothly. It didn't disappoint because it was able to handle Skyrim, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist and Call of Duty Advance Warfare without any lag. The speakers are good but they could be a little louder. My only issue with it is that even though you can use it as a tablet the keyboard gets in the way which makes it a little bulky and the screen is way too big for a tablet but that's just me. Overall, it's a great laptop!

I purchased this back at the first of January. I have no idea what folks were speaking of on this laptop being slow. In the winter time my temps have also kept between 80 and 85 mostly. Having it on my lap too long has had me go up to about 96 before, but with a proper laptop pad or somesuch I am pretty sure that shouldn't happen. I usually almost always use this on a table though. The touchscreen doesn't require hard touching, but if using in laptop mode, I would suggest placing the back of the screen against something since there is a little teeny tiny 'flex' when touching. The screen is wonderful and displays colors grandly. The only thing I DID have an issue with is that around just 15 days after I bought it, the hard drive went bad I've had no power issues though. I still kept this laptop anyway even after the hard drive fail. It recieved some good reviews and all, and I had spent 3 hours the day I purchased it just roaming information on laptops I had seen in store and just trying to find the one that would be the best for me. I haven't done much gaming on it, but it's certainly so wonderful rising up from the rubbles of my finally dead Dell D820 from 2006, so I don't really have much room to complain. It has done pretty decent with what's known as 'Second Life' and providing very pleasable scenery. The lightup keyboard is also fantastic. Really helpful at night if you don't want to turn on the lights. The tablet mode is also great, but I've barely used it so far. I had planned to use that for drawing. Using just a basic rubber-tipped stylus did really well with precise touch locations and following along. Considering I am on month 3 now, I'll go ahead and say I would recommend this laptop for basic users or folks for atleast some mid-quality gaming. I'd say more on that part, but I just don't own any recent games really.

I am less than thrilled by this laptop, the Toshiba Satellite E 46 DW- C. It's glitzy with so many bells and whistles that it seemed like it would be fun learning Windows 10 while having some features similar to Windows 7. I have had this computer one month and still find it difficult to navigate my way around. Font size changes on me randomly. The Touch Pad is super sensitive making it difficult to type, (luckily there is a function button on the top row which turns the Touch pad on and off). Also I find it incredibly Slow, much slower than my Sony Vaio laptop that this is replacing. Part of the problem may just be the fact that this is Windows 10, and not necessarily this particular laptop. On a positive note I do like the Lighted Keyboard and the Touch Screen, as well as it's ability to be used in at least 5 different modes - as a laptop, a tablet, presentation mode, audience mode , tabletop.
