Still have this laptop to date very durable and functional for day to day activities

the free downloads expired before Xmas and it was a Christmas gift so we missed out on the free downloads. That does not seem quite fair don't you think?

Great value for its price ! This computer has a nice processor, the memory can be upgraded to 16 Gb and it works great !

There are several things about this computer that make it desirable, including the size, the weight, the lighted keyboard, which also seems easier to type on than the previous Toshiba I owned. There are some things that aren't so great though. The sound is kind of 'tinny' even when connected to my desktop speakers. I really don't like the built in keypad. It seems stiff and hard to navigate. Fortunately, I always attach a wireless mouse, so this doesn't generally have much effect on the use of the computer. I wish it had at least one more usb port.

This is the 6th unit we have purchased of this laptop. Our staff uses it for point of use entries into our electronic health record. It is light weight and durable, compact yet has a decent screen size and resolution for viewing. The touch screen is really helpful when scrolling. The only downside we have found so far is that the battery doesn't last a full day so needs to dock for recharging at lunchtime and is not replaceable by users.

I bought this computer because I needed something portable with decent performance (could handle browsing, a few Office programs running simo) that also had good battery life (7hrs +). I have a Toshiba Satellite that is larger and several years old, that has been and is still my workhorse - but it has a power brick the size of a brick and is big. Not something you want to lug through Airport security or carry around for a day at a FIRST robotics event. This computer has performed admirably - and Win8 is almost tolerable thanks to the touchscreen.

The size and weight are very convenient for traveling. The backlighting of the keyboard is great for typing in the low light on a night flight. The touch screen is very convenient for maneuvering thru documents.

This computer has been a good purchase. In fact, I was going to return it because it lacks a VGA input (which I need for work). I liked its speed, battery life and size so much, however, that I decided to keep it for my daughter and get myself a different computer that I can use at work. I am very impressed with and highly recommend this laptop.

One month in, I'm very impressed with the Toshiba Satellite 14" touch-screen laptop. It's fast, runs Windows 8.1 with no difficulty whatsoever and is fun to use (touching the screen, using the keyboard or mousing). The E45t-A4100 does not have a built-in CD/DVD drive but I bought a Toshiba SuperMulti Drive PA3834U-1DV2 (love the way Toshiba names their products -- makes it absolutely impossible to tell someone what you are using). The drive uses the two side-by-side USB 3.0 ports on the laptop and runs as soon as you plug it in. I also have a backup USB drive that uses a USB 3.0 port, so I have to unplug it to use the multi-drive, but that certainly is not a problem since I use the multi-drive so seldom. The only item not included on the computer that I missed was the little indicator light that shows when the hard drive is being accessed. I was able to find a very nice add-on indicator (DiskLED) that gets the job done nicely. I have no problem recommending this laptop. It's fast, fun and, very nice for a very nice price.

Great price for a quality machine. The 14" seems larger than I thought Easy to carry around - great quality screen. I would recommend for sure. I actually prefer it over my MacBook Air because the screen is better- really Win 8 is pretty good.

Lightweight. A bit big then what I needed but don't carry it around much. Fast. Lots of storage. Battery lasts pretty long depending on what you're doing. Screen is clear and bright. Light up keyboard is a great feature for typing in dark or dim rooms. Has good amount of USB ports and HDMI makes mirroring cool feature. Windows 8 is nice touch for the touchscreen. Makes it feel future technology.

Nice laptop, easy to use except when it came to Windows 8. We generate a lot of documents and use e-mails extensively. It is wonderfully quick on both accounts, lots of storage. Also, easy to haul around because it is so much lighter than our last laptop.

Toshiba has been my go-to brand for a few years now. This notebook, once again, doesn't disappoint. There is a lot to talk about here so I'll try to limit to the more relevant bits. Pros: -Beautiful screen. This is the first time I've used an HD display on a laptop and I'll never go back. The colors tend to be very vivid and bright. -Backlit keyboard. Another first for me and it's amazing how quickly you begin to rely on it. -Battery. Again, I could just be showing my age because I know all notebooks have shown improvements. But my last notebook only lasted about 2 hours doing simple tasks. This one gets about that much playing games and even more doing web browsing or word processing. -Touchscreen. I got the touchscreen version of this notebook because it was on sale. It wasn't so much of a selling point for me, but it turned out to be super useful. Many times, even with a mouse, it's much easier to just tap the icons/items on the screen. Cons: -Screen brightness/glare. Two problems here. I hope to eliminate the glare by getting an anti-glare screen protector. I just wish it wasn't necessary (and I hope it doesn't wash out the pretty crisp HD-ness...). Couple the glare with the fact that the screen just doesn't get very bright and it can be difficult (sometimes impossible) to do certain activities in bright room. -Screen dimming. This may just be me, but I swear the screen dims and brightens based on what is being displayed. I read this might be an adaptive contrast feature but I can't figure out how to turn it off. It makes it really annoying if, for example, you're playing a game and you go into a cave. Suddenly, the screen dims just a bit. Now I'm fighting a dimming screen on an already dim screen with glare. -Wild Tangent Games. This abomination came with the laptop. Normally I don't mention software since you can just uninstall it if you don't want it. However, WT Games was so deep into the computer, I actually had to edit the registry to get rid of the shortcuts on the Start menu. Simply uninstalling didn't work. A few extra notes: If you are afraid of Windows 8.1, then stay away, obviously. I really liked Win8.1 (I manually installed it on my last laptop) and it's even nicer on a touchscreen. I can play World of Warcraft and a few other games. You won't get Ultra settings out of this laptop, but it will survive quite nicely on low-medium settings (maybe a few settings higher if you like tweaking).

I really enjoy my laptop its lightweight and touchscreen and with Windows 10 it moves even faster to get my work done

This is a great laptop and I love the touch screen. There is so much to learn on this and I still havnr figured it out yet. Battery life is good and I love how light the laptop is.

This is a wonderful laptop, capable of so many different "Jobs." I love the touchscreen and keypad. It's very modern and "adjusts" to different users and how they prefer to use a laptop. It easily syncs with my printer, phone, and attached DVD player. I didn't think I would like a computer w/o the CD/DVD player, but it makes it so much lighter and I don't use the CD/DVD player as much as I thought I would. The screen tends to get a lot of fingerprints, not sure how to clean it yet. The power cord sometimes becomes disconnected easily, so I need to watch that. I'm glad I purchased Geek Squad. Purchase of Office for home and student is a must.

My first laptop. I really like the long battery life and the size of the unit. It is very light and portable. Great speed, graphics etc. buy one you will love it.

This laptop is great for school or pleasure I have really enjoyed it. It's a Big Bang for your buck. The touchscreen is a huge plus that sells me. Although I have had a few problems with the mouse icon but nothing to serious. It's fast effective and gets the job done with style. The outter case is very nice to look at.

Bought this laptop mainly for my wife and she loves it!!! Its lightweight yet has great capability in storage & memory. Touch screen is awesome, very high tech. Overall very satisfied with our purchase and David was very helpful too.

Very happy with this purchase! The HD display is beautiful, backlit keyboard a plus, and not to mention lightning fast! My only complaint is that I thought the Harman/Kardon speakers would be louder?
