Toshiba - Satellite 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Satin Gold

Very sleek, thin, lightweight and portable, also excellent keyboard.

I got it on deal with 499$...and I also had a house movers code where I can get 50$ off...so I got for 449$...its gr8 deal for i5 5th gen Intel with 8 gb ram, led touch screen with 1tb hdd... i was thinking to buy laptop with ssd...so i don't have to wait for long boot and all that...but after using this...it is fast very fast...i like windows 8...it is faster then 7 of course.... what i don't like on this laptop is touch pad....rest is gr8....

Battery life is 3 hours. I love the clarity of the screen. Touch screen is good too. Don't like the touchpad much, but I mostly use an external mouse anyway. Preinstalled Windows was too slow due to a lot of unnecessary pre-installed programs. I recommend re-installing Windows and installing the drivers from Toshiba website. You can create windows installation media by following the instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media Be sure to download the drivers before doing this, because windows won't be able to access internet without wifi drivers. Things you should know before buying: Fans are on the bottom. No VGA port.

This computer is great for the price. Plenty of storage, ram, etc. for everyday use. May be a little slower if you're doing a lot of gaming. I personally wanted an ultrabook that could be easily carried around with me. Most ultrabooks were close to $1000 and had small (<500gb) solid state drives. Considering the amount of documents, videos, etc. that I store, those drives would fill up way too fast. This computer however is very lightweight and thin, but still has ample storage. I love everything about this computer!

I've always been partial to Toshibas -- in fact, this is the 5th Toshiba laptop I've owned. Their upper lines' superior displays dazzle and their harmon/kardon speakers rock. This E45t-B 4106 Satellite 14-inch i5-5200 is no exception in that regard. I love the responsiveness and feel of the touchscreen. The keyboard is a BIT low profile for us ladies with long nails, but as consolation the backlit keys sure are pretty as we backspace. I prefer my previous Toshiba's glass mousepad, but this brushed aluminum mousepad is perfectly functional -- though the oversensitivity to a swipe from right to left is annoying, but that's a Windows 8.1 problem. In fact, on the whole, Windows 8.1 (which came standard on my purchase) is not ideal, but that's not Toshiba's fault. I don't play games so I don't need super speed; this Satellite works fast and accurately for all my purposes. One complaint is that if/when I do happen to lose my wifi connection, this baby doesn't want to reconnect with any wifi, so I have to restart the whole computer when that happens. Oh well, if that's the worst thing that happens, I'm one lucky lady. Overall, love me my Toshiba!

My 5 year old Dell laptop went to the shop with no guarantee it was coming back and I wanted to have a quality replacement, either temporary or permanent. And still waiting for Dell to do anything! Was pleased to find something at Best Buy under $600 (not including Geek Squad) that met or exceeded my older laptop specs (i5, 8 GB ram, 1 TB storage, ethernet input etc.). It's smaller with no optical drive (and has Windows 8.1, an adjustment) and with smaller battery (but long life so far) and less sturdy power cord/plug. But has touch screen, backlit keyboard, inexpensive DVD writer I bought separately and seems to work pretty well with all my apps and programs. Definitely much lighter. So far, almost two months in, it seems to work well. Really surprised and pleased!

I really like this computer. I'm a computer tech full-time and my personal laptop - that I've milked along for way too many years - needed to be replaced. I purchased a refurbished laptop through Best Buy's recertification program and I couldn't be happier. Pros: it's thin, it's lightweight, it looks great, it has a good battery life, the sound doesn't suck, the display is crisp, it boots quickly, it runs smooth, the Core i5 CPU is not too shabby, it plays Call of Duty in high settings, after 3 hours of game-play the laptop was not overheated or too hot (CPU temps were amazingly cooler than anticipated), the ports are well placed, the power cord is nice and long, it has a backlit keyboard, it has great storage, and it has 6GB RAM as opposed to 4GB standard.

Great laptop for the price. Like that it has a backlit keyboard for a machine in this price range and am slowly getting used to Windows 8 - actually really liking the touchscreen. Battery life could be a little better (getting about 4-5 hours of use) but the I5 processor makes for quick work. Overall a nice machine for the money.
