Great Computer for an Even Better Price!
||Posted .Let me start by saying that this is my first non Sony Vaio laptop. I usually spend more money on higher end technology, but for the first time I was really on a budget making a significant computer purchase. There were several Acers in the running with this Satellite (as well as another) as far as price and specs went. At the end of the day, pound for pound this was the one that had the most bang for the buck! I must admit, I wasn't sure what I'd get when I fired it up. Since the moment I did, this laptop has been pretty freaking awesome! If you're a gamer or use high end graphics, this computer isn't for you. But for everyone else, particularly students on a budget...this IS the affordable, reliable, high-quality, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing machine you are looking for. Seriously. At the risk of sounding cliche...this is truly a BEST BUY!!

Blue Screen of Death after 3 days.....
||Posted .Yep. Sometimes a video error occurs whenever I go to youtube or any video plays. error code:0xa0000001 Yippee.....Brand new computer with programming error. Toshiba really dropped the ball the day this one was made!

Good laptop for the price!
||Posted .I purchased this laptop due to price/performance point. The screen on this laptop is HUGE. Very nice, vibrant colors. Boots up pretty quickly and can run most applications and games (if you're a gamer like I am). A couple drawbacks though - actual performance could be a little better. It does take a little while to load certain applications and games, but once they're loaded things run relatively seamless. You WILL need to adjust the color/screen options when you first use it. Blacks were washed out, colors were too bright, etc. but nothing that some tweaking fixed. Overall - a good laptop for the price/performance.

Good computer that can do everything you need.
||Posted .This computer is a great deal for the price. I didn't want or need top of the line, just something to get the job done at a reasonable price. This is it. A good buy for anyone doing work, or school work on computer daily with a few games and it runs great. Only gave 4 stars because windows 8 can be difficult to use until you get familiar with it. Might want to get 15.6" screen if you need it be compact but I mainly keep it at home.

Good for the price
||Posted .I couldn't beat the price. I use a laptop as my primary PC at home, and I mostly use for web browsing and email. Because it's my primary, I prefer the larger screen. It was also important to me that I could put in a DVD. It seems like the mouse tracker has already stopped working, but I always plug in a mouse anyway. I had lot of trouble with the Windows 8 start screen and the apps. I finally gave up trouble shooting, and I just work with the traditional desktop, and it seems fine. It's very lightweight, so I wouldn't mind traveling with it, even though it is 17 inches.

Good computer for the price!
||Posted .Starts up fast, no sound problems on this one. Good processor speed for web surfing, email, and running Office. Lots of pop up ads that you can easily get rid of with a pop up blocker. Don't like the fact that Windows 8 needs your microsoft mail account to log in. Big screen great for reading.

good laptop
||Posted .The laptop runs well and can plays games like swtor and sims 3 in decent graphic setting without a problem. Only negative is that it won't stay in sleep mode and when I open the lid I will have to hard boot to get the screen on. I have alot of posts on toshiba site of the same problem. My fix is to just shut it down. I returned the first one and the second one did the same thing.

Surprising good workhorse
||Posted .My main laptop gave out, and I needed a quick replacement, until I could afford "a good quality" laptop. ie, I was intending this to be a 'tide me over" laptop, but it has turned out to a 1st quality, major workhorse laptop. Best incidental purchase I've made in a long time. It's fast, has plenty of storage space, and goes through all the paces, I put on it without a hiccup. . Great little machine, and the price is very unbelievable for such a workhorse machine......You won't go wrong.

Q: QuestionDoes this computer come with the original Window DVD 8's?Name all DVD's that physically come with this purchased item?

Q: QuestionspeedI would like to watch movies. How's the processor speed?
Asked by DocJay.
- A:Answer This machine would be fine for watching movies either online or from DVD. Main thing to remember is to have updated video drivers and the proper codecs installed to view your movies (stuff inside browsers like Netflix and Hulu should "just work"). Unfortunately W8.x doesn't come with codecs for certain movie file formats (like W7 did!) so you might have to download an app like VLC that includes these codecs (or another app of your choosing). This will allow you to play DVD discs as well as files such as MKV, AVI, XVID, MPG, MP4, etc.
