Fantastic Laptop
I absolutely love this laptop. I use this laptop to edit photos with photoshop, create websites with dreamweaver, presentations with the office suite and I can run all of these at the same time with absolutely no issues and excellent battery life. My run time is around 8 hours, even with extensive use. I will say, from time to time I play world of tanks and it destroys my battery, but that's what my pc is for I suppose. Speaking of world of tanks, the game looks fantastic. This obviously isn't a gaming laptop, but to give you an idea of how it performs, it's buttery smooth. I wouldn't play farcry or battlefield on it, but for a work laptop, I am in love. It has a wonderful keyboard that feels marvelous when typing, the keys light up pleasantly and the speakers sound decent (very clear, not very loud). As a 2 in 1, it does the job great. I purchased this for $699 and for that price, nothing could beat it. For the price I bought it in the store, there was literally nothing to compare it to and for that, this laptop gets 5 stars. Oh, there is one negative for me, the track pad is brushed in a horizontal manner and takes a bit to get used to. It feels like.. "cool" and looks good, but I often find that my thumb would get "stuck". Like I said though, you get used to it and learn to apply a certain amount of pressure to it to compensate. Just wish it was glass. Look at the images I upload. I took one of the track pad, on the edge you can see the brushed finished. Only the track pad feels this way.

Real Value for Money
Getting a 2 in 1 that has all the bells & whistles and also a good work horse and on top of it good looks is an enormous task these days. Luckily there is Toshiba Radius series which takes care of it effortlessly. 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD makes the machine start like a breeze. Windows 10 boot up time is like 3 seconds and there you go. Touch screen quality is good as well. Tablet mode requires a confirmation and making it automatic mostly doesnt help as the mechanism to sense it is not very sensitive but not a big deal as you can manually do it quick. Great Battery Life and very light weight to carry around. my iPAD now is lying in a corner

Great Portable Workhorse
This toshiba machine has every thing that you need in a modern laptop. Its light weight. Not very small ( 12.5 inch screen) and comes with a latest core i5 processor along with 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. On top of it it has a full size HDMI and a Type-C USB port as well. Windows 10 boots in less then 10 seconds and the machine works flawlessly. I have it for 3 months now and it feels as new as first day. Excellent product from Toshiba only if they could add a sleeve to it as well for easy caring as its hard to find a 12.5 inch sleeve.

Great Laptop, but having a major issue
I would rate this a 4.5/5, but will give it a 1/5 unless the login issues get resolved. I will start with my evaluation of the product which warrants a 4.5, then explain why my current rating is 1/5. Great price of $550 at BB and worth every penny. The backlit keyboard is a must. The keys feel really good. You have to press down somewhat hard, but it has the best feel of all the 2 in 1's that I have tried. The Solid State hard drive with Windows 10 loads up within seconds, even after being completely shut down. The 8GB of ram is plenty for web usage and other basic programs. The screen has a nice resolution. I would prefer a 14" or 15". But, the 12" is compact, portable, and perfect for the kids. If I need a bigger screen, I just use the HDMI port to connect to the 22" High Def Dell monitor I bought from BB for $100. This laptop is extremely versatile and a great buy. Now, the frustration. After working awesome for 3 weeks, I received an error message upon login "Can't connect to Group Policy Client". The only way to log on was the administrative local account. The operating system was so corrupt that I couldn't even access the Recovery menu in the System Settings to try to get a restore point. I had to boot in safemode and completely restore to the factory settings. I spent hours reloading programs and re-setting up profiles for the family. Three weeks after the complete restore, the same thing happened. Ugh! Extremely frustrating. I don't know any other brand of computers having problems like this with Windows 10. So, my only conclusion at this time is that something is wrong with the Toshiba product. Unless this issue gets resolved, I will leave my review at a 1 and recommend that you don't buy the product. Very sad, because I really love the computer when it is working.

light weight and bright screen
Pro: Love the sleek look of this laptop and the back-lit keyboard. 5 in 1 mode is the bonus! Con: performance slows down when too many tabs are opened at the same time.
