I'm still getting oriented to this computer, so I don't have a lot of experience yet, but so far it has performed flawlessly. For me, having Windows 7 was the final selling point. I don't like the newer platforms. I did not give this computer 5 stars because it seems that the battery life is relatively short. Would definitely recommend non-the-less.

I was looking for a Windows 7 laptop online because only Windows 8 is sold in the Best Buy stores. This one seemed to have the best combo of screen size and memory capacity for the price. But it feels really flimsy and the screen res is far inferior to that of my MacBook Pro.
The WiFi is weak: as long as the laptop is in the same room as the router I get 5 bars of connectivity, but I lose a bar simply by moving to the next room. I do not anticipate long life from this product.

This is my second toshiba laptop that i bought from bestbuy. It is by far the best laptop for the price that still runs windows 7 and it includes a lot of cool add ons like bluetooth, built in web cam and mic. It does start up a little slow but if you upgrade to a ssd drive which is sold sepratley it greatly increase performance.

This was to replace an 8 year old Toshiba Satellite. Love it! This newer one is so much lighter and thinner. It does everything I need it to do. Totally satisfied.

This runs worse than the old one I bought it to replace . I should have listened to the worst of the reviews instead of the best.

Thank you for the review, 3doggies, and sorry to hear that you had some sort of performance issue with your Satellite C55-B5392.
This model is equipped with Intel Core i3-4005U Processor and 6GB of RAM which is fully capable of handling typical day-to-day consumer computing needs such as email, social media, and general web browsing as well as more moderately demanding applications.
I wonder how long you've had this unit and if perhaps Windows Update has been busy downloading & installing updates. That's typically the case with brand new systems, and if so it will tax initial performance until the updating process is completed.
If when all updates are completed you feel that you're not getting the appropriate performance for this hardware configuration, please contact Toshiba support at 800-457-7777 for troubleshooting help.
Thanks again for the feedback and for choosing Toshiba.

This is my 2nd Toshiba. The first one lasted 5 years and I just needed to have the fan replaced once and bought a new battery once. This time around I had 3 requirements: Windows 7, a DVD/CD player built in, and a webcam and microphone built in. I searched high and low and this Toshiba Satellite was the only thing I could find with my requirements. I've had it about one month now an am extremely pleased with it. The keyboard is a bit bigger as it has a numeric keypad, which I would not have ordered, but I'm adjusting to it. I've heard so many negatives about Windows 8 and didn't want to wait for Windows 10...nor do I even know if I would like it when it is released. This is the by far, the best choice for me and I'd buy it again.

Good solid laptop, with WIN 7 no less!

So happy could still buy a laptop with WIN7 on it, made set up a breeze. Laptop seems very quick, picture is good, sound could be better - but for the price this unit it seems like a winner. It doesn't have a strong, sturdy feel like old laptops weighing in like they were made out of iron, that said it is very lightweight which will make it comfortable to tote around in my bag. I did a lot of looking out there for a laptop running 7 and I though I would end up with something refurbished, so I'm very pleased with this purchase. Its just what I was looking for.

I am upset at Best Buy for their floor salesman recommending this laptop. It is complete garbage. While still under warranty, the keyboard back light died. One week after the warranty, the motherboard failed and the speakers hum. The speakers literally buzz while the computer is on. I have to force shutdown by holding down the power button because the start menu doesn't work. The touch screen is poor qualtiy. I will never buy a laptop from best buy again. I am disgusted by the help and service I have received.

Do NOT buy this laptop.

This is the worst electronic I've ever owned. Trackpad/mouse started sticking immediately, highlighting everything on page, and making any document or presentation creation extremely difficult.
Just after warranty expired, track bar quit entirely, and I've had other hardware and software issues, to the point that it's impossible to rely on for any business needs. Buying a Mac.
Avoid at all costs.

Thank you for the review, MrClam, and sorry to hear that you're having trouble using the touchpad of your Satellite Laptop.
The touchpad can be toggled OFF & ON by using the F5 key, so if the F5 key is inadvertently pressed it will appear that the touchpad is inoperable. Try pressing the F5 key once to see if that solves the problem.
Regarding the previous apparent touchpad button sticking issue, it's possible that an accessibility feature has been accidentally enabled. I recommend checking Control Panel's Mouse Advanced Properties to make sure it is configured to your preferences. Here are the steps: 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Change View to Icons 3. Select Mouse 4. Go to Device Settings Tab 5. Click Settings 6. Go to Pointing Options
If the issues still persist after trying the steps above, please contact Toshiba support at 800-457-7777 for further diagnosis.
Thanks again for the feedback and sorry for the trouble.
