    Great little laptop, so far

    Bought this laptop on 8/7/15 and so far it has not made me want to return yet. I bought this for school as i wanted something small to carry to work and school with me . Perfect size and lightweight. Screen is good quality. I like the keyboard but as someone else said the tab key is small , you just have to get use to it. It boots up fast and loads webpages fast as well. Youtube videos, Huluplus and Netflix play good too. Tried HBOnow on it but was very choppy and lagging but that could just be my internet as we have a lot streaming to different devices. Also have HBOnow app on my phone and it acts that way on my phone too. The touchpad will need some getting used to for me as far as learning the different gestures because I havent used a laptop in a while.Somehow I keep switching between desktop and Windows apps when using the touchpad. I plan to by a wireless mouse for it so that won't be a problem. The real test will come in a few weeks when school starts and I use it for homework. I also like the fact that my Windows account is linked to my home desktop so I can access files and photos on both pc's with Onedrive. I found a wonderful laptop sleeve on Amazon for it too.

    I purchased this laptop a month ago and so far I have had no issues. I'm a college student and it handles all of my school work needs in terms of Microsoft office needs, checking and sending e-mails, downloading and submitting documents. It is a easy set-up; no issues upgrading to Windows 10, and the battery life is good. At first I had a issue with the keyboard but after a while I got use to it and now I can comfortably use it. I've had it for a short time but so far I really like this laptop. It's a great product for the cost and I would highly recommend it to someone looking for a low cost laptop.

    It really boots up quick. It is extremely portable & has become my daily tote around computer. The only slightly bad thing is the keyboard. It is not that easy for me to type on it when I have a lot to type. However, I didn't get it for essays, I got it b/c I needed something a bit more portable when I am on the go. It was 199 when I got it, but even at 249 or 279 it is a good deal.

    Bought this on the day Windows 10 was released, updated instantly and rather easy compared to other devices in our apartment. Only complaint is the WiFi seems to often have conflicts not just disconnecting from our home network but not picking up any network. We live in an apartment complex so there is never a time when there aren't several WiFi signals detectable from anywhere in our apartment. We have a dual band network with on repeater in a normal sized three bedroom apartment. This seems to be a problem with the WiFi systems in Toshiba laptops as we have three, all different models and they all seem to have the same problem. The problem doesn't seem to bother the Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet also running Windows 10 or any f the Android devices. The main reason I picked this over several lower priced bands that had touchscreen was the larger onboard storage of the 128 GB SSD. Honestly I updated a 2010 Toshiba that was bought at Staples in late winter 2011 with a Toshiba 128 GB SSD and it is much faster than this laptop but for the price in today's market this laptop is OK. Kind of wish I had bough one of the 11.6" Chinese brands 2 in 1 hybrids and just added a flashcard to increase onboard storage.

    I was looking at several 11.6 inch netbooks, mainly to be used for travel. I recently bought a 14 inch Toshiba and really like it, so I would consider another, along with an ASUS and ACER. After research and trying them all, and getting some advice from a Best Buy person, I went with the solid state Toshiba...a very good choice for me. It is fast, decent screen, little bloat ware. I upgraded to Windows 10, but the jury is still out about that. I'm not sure if I like how Edge works, yet. The only negative is I will the keys had a little better action. I would certainly look at this unit if wanting something good for travel.

    I am happy with this product so far, and like that it is available in touch-screen (was first given the model without touch-screen by mistake). It meets my needs, since I don't intend to store or view large files on it, so don't need a lot of memory. My only complaint would be that the keyboard doesn't work very well -- and I usually have to type things more than once.

    I needed a basic laptop for school, mostly for internet and Microsoft Office use. This laptop is perfect and does the job I need it too. It is a bit slow for some things, such as downloads, and I would not use it for gaming, but it has great performance for internet browsing, Office use, and streaming videos. I also love how lightweight the laptop is. If you are looking for a laptop for light work such as internet browsing and MS Office, I would definitely recommend this laptop.

    One of the best laptop purchases I have ever made. This little thing boots super fast and will take care of most things people do. I would think this would be perfect for anyone that carries it around a lot.

    This is an awesome laptop for the price. The keys on keyboard are a bit harder to push than I'm used to, but I'm sure I'll adjust. I'm very pleased with performance and price! Highly recommend for everyone.

    This laptop is just the right size, very lightweight if you are going to take it along with you. Very happy with it other than stupid little adds with voices pop up while you are on it and I have not figured out how to make them stop popping up.

    Bought this for my daughter to carry with her for use on campus. Light weight and should be durable due to the SSD instead if a mechanical drive. Uninstalled all the unneeded programs, games etc. so full MS office could be loaded.

    I am very impressed with the L15 - B1330. Its size and speed. I stream a movie on Flixster played flawlessly. I have loaded Office 365 and the programs I use without a problem. I own the E45-B4100 I5 and this compliments it nicely. It like a smaller version. I plan to put it to its paces this week.

    I got this laptop on a sale and based on the price and features I am very pleased!! The 128 SSD is what sold me and I have not been disappointed. Very fast processing! Had to remove a lot of bloatware but the set up was a breeze. I use this for school, general internet browsing and storing music and photos. It does the trick for me and the compact design is stylish and functional. I type a lot of papers and keyboard has great touch. The four stars is based on the speakers crackling every time I play music however, I didn't buy this for that function and I usually use headphones. Overall I am satisfied.

    Small screen computers are hard to find. My daughter treated her old Toshiba with tea and honey, so she needed a new one. We updated to Win 10 after removing the installed ant-virus. Win 10 includes its own. She loves the keyboard and is happy with its web ability. The SSD is not large, but memory sticks can store a lot of pictures.
