Summary: Wonderful notebook!
Review: This laptop does everything!!! You can watch Dvd's, Burn Cd's And listen to music!! With so much ram and a large harddrive my daughter can put all her games on this machine too!!! The volume is LOUD! I've had to put it on the lowest setting!! The picture is as good as my TV! My only problem is my smart media card slot doesn't work, but after an hour on the phone, Toshiba told me where I could go to get it fixed !! I have only had my 5105-s501 for 3 days, but I could never do without it again!!!

Summary: Great features not found in any other notebook!
Review: This notebook delivers great perfomance and multi-media functionality. The 15 inch display is brilliant. The audio is better than any other notebook I have looked at. If you wish, the Dolby Digital audio output can be used with any good sound system. The DVD-playback is smooth. The IR remote is very handy for navigating the DVD menus, and works well for presentations. The three USB ports allows you to easily connect peripherals.
This is a great desktop replacement or notebook (if you don't mind the weight and somewhat limited battery life).
