    This Toshiba follows the path of other Toshiba products I have had in the past,it is convienient,easy to use and the support is great whether on line or on the phone. Windows 8 is straight forward and the ability to fold it and use like a tablet is fantastic. All within a good price point.

    The versatility of this laptop to turn from regular laptop to tablet is great for any profession. It has an impressive processing speed and can download multi-paged reports so much quicker than anything I've used before.

    I am a college student and I didn't mind spending a little over my budget to get a good quality laptop (the salesman said it was a best seller). In total I paid $800+ and have had issues since I got it. At first it wouldn't turn on so I took it back and got it replaced. Then the audio jack was nearly inaudible so I took it back as soon as I realized it (I had it for about 3 months now) and they wouldn't replace it because it wasn't soon enough. Keep in mind that I bought the protection. So I left with the audio jack still damaged. The next day I open my laptop and there was a crack in the screen and on the bottom of it. I immediately took it back to best buy to get it fixed and they couldn't do it because it was the LED screen inside and not the outside. So I am using a laptop with a giant crack in the screen and the bottom because I am too broke to buy a new one. I do not recommend this product, it was a headache and a mistake from the start. You're better off buying a 200 dollar one.

    I've had this computer for 45 days trying to adjust to the updated software and other new features. I honestly find its tb memory and i7 processor is about the same speed as the 5 year old HP laptop it replaced. It does have a nice aluminum body that feel nice but it's track pad right button constantly sticks in the down position. It has since it arrive. The software it comes with is anything but intuitive. For almost 1k dollars I would not recommend this to a friend. Overall it looks nice but it just didn't stand up to its claims. I particularly do not like the sticking right button. This may be a problem with mine that l'll have to have someone look at.

      Posted .

      Thank you for the review, KurtM, and sorry to hear about the problem with the right button on your Satellite P55W's touchpad.

      A sticking button is certainly not normal so I recommend contacting Toshiba support at 800-457-7777 to make warranty repair arrangements.

      The perceived speed & responsiveness of any PC will depend somewhat on the number of programs and processes currently running on the unit at any point in time, and their respective demands on various components, subsystems, and networking resources. Rebooting Windows and then checking performance after loading each individual app is one way to determine when the resource load begins to impact performance, and which apps most impact performance.

      The Windows 8 Start screen can seem a bit foreign to experienced Windows users but once you get familiar with its features you may find it useful and, of course, you can always bypass it and go straight to Desktop mode, which is what I do about 95% of the time.

      Toshiba has numerous knowledge base articles and videos to help with the transition to Windows 8. Here are a few links that you may want to review:

    Looks good but doesn't work good

    I bought this computer because I needed a laptop with a 10-key but I didn't want a big one but I did want a fast one. I love the way this laptop looks and feels. But I hate the speed. And also, I've had to add tons of software that automatically came on my last Asus. In addition, my Best Buy virus software won't let me download Java Script so I can only access half of the material on my online class. The flip screen seems good but really, when will you ever use this? And if I put it at a certain angle, the screen starts to fall over on it's own. I tried to return this computer 3 weeks after I bought it but Best Buy told me it only had a 2-week return policy on it. Don't buy this computer - something is wrong with it that it runs so slow and glitches constantly. On Word, while I am typing it will move me up into another part of the page for no reason and keep typing there. It is so annoying and I've never had that happen on any other computer. Please don't buy this computer.

      Thank you for the review, kristiet, and sorry to hear about the performance problem with your Satellite P55W.

      The cursor movement symptom you describe is typically induced by accidental contact with the touchpad while typing. The Toshiba Forums community knowledge base article at forums.toshiba.com/t5/Computer-Troubleshooting/How-do-I-stop-my-mouse-cursor-from-moving-on-its-own/ta-p/277129 explains a couple of ways to ensure that unexpected cursor movement doesn't occur.

      I also recommend performing a Windows Reset to see if that might eliminate the performance issue. Make sure all of your files are backed up before performing a Window Reset since it will remove all data and changes since the laptop left the factory. The Toshiba Forums community knowledge base article at forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Video-How-To-Understanding-System-Restore-and-Recovery-options/ta-p/342690 has detailed instructions.

      If the problems persist after reviewing the above documents, please contact Toshiba support at 800-457-7777 for further assistance.

      Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the trouble. Toshiba
