    Got computer for my dad who just wants the internet and this worked great for the price. As you can see with the specs, it isn't meant for much more.

    I have bought the same product twice...The only thing I didn't like was windows 8.1..But I have Windows 10 on it now so hopefully with some graphics in some games it won't freeze up on me

    This laptop does everything I need it to do. It plays videos well. Bluetooth is convenient for transferring pictures and/or files from my phone to this laptop. Last laptop I owned I paid $1,000+ and this one for much less does the same thing and more.

    This laptop has an Intel Pentium CPU which makes a huge difference. It has good battery life and is fairly fast. Great for e-mail, web browsing, media consumption, school work. Can play games too but nothing high end..it was less than $300.

    We bought this at a good price. However, the laptop is lacking in performance. I noticed that it can be very slow when watching videos or some websites sometimes. A big negative is that it is not easy to upgrade the memory (which may help speed it up!). For the price, it is an okay laptop for light use. It is not a good one if you expect to watch movies or use it to surf sites that require intensive video capabilities. We bought it as a cheap and light laptop to take on trips. But we will not use it as our main machine.

    I bought this computer for my wife. She isn't the most tech savy person in the world. However, she loves her computer. It was bought for just barely over $210 during a holiday sale. It is far faster than my laptop that I bought just 2 years earlier. I think about getting another laptop to replace my now outdated one because using hers and then mine are so different.

    I bought an "Open Box" model at a great discount on an already low price laptop. I have had no problems. It is a good little laptop for the money. Probably as good as many that cost a lot more. This is my third Toshiba laptop and I find they constantly get better every year. Always more features for less money.

    Bought this laptop for my sister. It was on sale. For a $200 it was a great laptop and the specs are good. Can't find anywhere at this price. The memory and hard drive is in decent size/capacity to save all files.

    Any computer is only as good as its software. The Biggest drawback here is Windows 8 OS. Nothing is as bad as "New Coke" Vista, but MIcrosoft tried again. The first two weeks I was wishing I bought an Apple. I've learned the iidiocrcracies, so it's tolerable. Biggest complaint on the actual Laptop is the cheap, unreliable button on the CD/DVD drive. I would buy it over HP; Acer certainly.
