    Nothing but software problems from day one. Norton would not work because 2009 was included, but does not work with Windows 7. Internet Exployer 8 was 32 bit, but needed to be 64, so it would not work. Finally got it to work. . . some. Some features still do not work. When it works it is great, or nothing works. It can be very frustrating. We took it on vacation and it worked 3 out of 7 days. I think it is a software problem. . .

    I bought this laptop after reading the reviews here. Took it on a weekend trip and LOVED the light weight and battery life. (At one point, I was both charging my phone and reading documents on a three-hour bus ride with no problems. )

    This afternoon, however, the wireless internet suddenly stopped working. The Realtek wireless card does not even appear among the internet devices any more. I have been calling tech support for two hours, restored the system twice, and attempted to reinstall the wireless driver from the Toshiba website to no avail. From the tech support forums, it looks like some Toshiba laptops ship with bad wireless cards.

    Again, it’s a great laptop otherwise, but having no wireless internet is a deal killer for me. I’ll be returning this laptop and getting another brand instead.

    Whatever you do, don’t send this notebook or any Toshiba notebook to their repair depot. My function keys failed to work out of the box. After spending months intermittently trying to fix them via Toshiba phone support and their web site, I sent it into their repair depot with the assurance that it would take 7-10 days to repair. That was two months ago. I talked with a “customer relations” representative today who told me that my only option was to wait however long it took for the repair – if it took forever, well so be it. Today I learned that it will be in the repair facility for at least another month! That’s three months on a repair that was supposed to take 7-10 days. So what’s the difference between this kind of confiscation and theft? I feel as though my notebook has been stolen.

    I received this beauty 3 days ago and I am very pleased with the purchase. The design is gorgeous and so light weight compared to my old laptop.

    As others have mentioned the mouse buttons are pretty substandard but everything else meets my expectations. I am not a gamer so that wasn’t part of my criteria but I must say the display is beautiful.

    I am not a willing windows user except I will need it for working from home but I will be installing Ubuntu to dual boot. I will review my success after Christmas.
