Toshiba - Satellite Radius 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 6GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Brushed Black/Brushed Metal

I was looking to update my nearly 6 year old laptop but was on a budget. I'm not a power user, so this laptop was perfect as I wanted a 2-in-1 with a smaller size. I had my eye on another unit with I7 processor but it was $1000 more. After reading reviews and searching, I decided this unit with I3 processor would be fine. And it was on sale too. I also purchased an LG Optical USB Drive, MS Office 365 and Geek Squad Support. The Geek Squad was extremely helpful in my transition from Win7 to Win10 and from Office 2010 to Office 365.. I had space requirements to fit my desk and yet still see my TV. So I bought a metal stand and an external monitor. If you look at my photos, you can see my layout with metal stand, external monitor, USB keyboard/mouse and LG DVD USB drive. The performance and screen clarity are amazing. It is fairly lightweight as portability around the house was important to me. Battery life is very good. The wireless works very well and I have had no problems with it or anything else. I did buy a wired Ethernet-to-USB3.0 adapter and it works very well for downloading larger files. Overall I am extremely pleased!

After reading the reviews I wasn't so sure about this but! Glad and very happy I bought it. It's a good laptop out of the box, but not fast enough for me and image quality is good, it's 720p capable and excellent for online video/movie streaming. K, first thing I did was create a recovery flash drive, then clone the original drive onto a SSD drive, which is so much faster, and swap drives, Windows now boots in 30 secs., I would guess. The speed for the SSD are almost maxed out, 558.5MB/s Read and 541.4MB/s Write for SATA6 whereas the original 500GB is only a SATA3, HUGE DIFFERENCE. 2nd thing I did was to install Classic Shell, so that I could access ALL programs and make it look like Win7, now everything is easily accessible. Uninstall ALL unnecessary programs which were very few and install my own software. Sound is amazing, I have tweaked the sound using the Equalizer and the speakers are nicely positioned, in front of the screen at the bottom and they're loud enough for me. As for the image quality, the contrast and text can be adjusted using Windows own/built in feature but I didn't want to mess with it, right now the laptop is just perfect for my needs and the $379.99 I paid for, makes it even better. Yes, I recommend this laptop BUT! Do yourself a favor and buy a SSD drive and install it yourself if you know how to or have the Squad do it for you, it's worth it and you'll definitely see a night and day difference in speed. Plus you'll no longer have to hear a hard drive spin. But keep the original for back up. The only CON is the size of the keys, they're a bit small but I'm getting used to them and make less mistakes when typing, specially this review. Other than that? Nothing, it's perfect for basic needs and will last for years.

This laptop is made from high quality parts, from the feel of the keyboard to the metal cover that surrounds the machine. The touchscreen is very responsive, when you fold the laptop all the way it will ask you do you want to use tablet configuration. Start up times are below 30 seconds. Battery life is outstanding, at 7 hours plus. The fit and finish is second to none.

I have had this laptop for about 2 1/2 months now. I needed something low-budget, and light to take with me to school. I don't just use my computer for light internet browsing and internet. I also use it for editing videos in CyberLink and photos in Photoshop and LightRoom, as well as occasionally playing a game or two. A few programs can be opened simultaneously without lagging. It is light to carry around, fast, and efficient. The battery life lasts several hours and takes about 2 hours to charge up again, which is awesome. The speakers are amazing, loud and crystal clear. The tablet feature is pretty neat, although I don't really use it as much as I guess I thought I might. But having the option to is nice. The only problem I've had is that the keyboard backlight does not turn on and I've tried installing the Function driver, but it didn't help. Also the earphone port is weird, in that the earphone don't push in all the way and sometimes I have to twist it around a few times to make the sound comes through the earphones instead of the speakers. The screen also has more glare than I'd like, so a bit annoying when I'm in a bright area, but overall not too bad. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and it was worth the money!!

I bought this Toshiba - Satellite Radius 2-in-1 14 Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 6GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Brushed Black/Brushed Metal for my son birthday. Since he had Surface Ii. He like to use the Toshiba than surface because its really fast big storage. The screen much better than 10 inches surface. My son use it lot either school and at home.

User friendly, reasonably priced, great for a beginner.

I love this laptop. A great purchase. Highly recommended

I like the size and weight of the laptop, but even single threaded apps start pretty slowly.
