Summary: Good Plan, Bad Execution
Review: Toshiba had a good idea with this notebook, but they have some poor design flaws that really hold it back. First off it has a terrible overheating problem that one user mentioned before, I am in the process of getting a refund. It wont affect you till after about 3 weeks, then it will all break loose. This notebook as a Pentium III, DESKTOP CPU, no no NOT a MOBILE, a DESKTOP, so of course, it heats up and causes problems. It also eats battery like there is no tomorrow. At first I was amazed, but after time, it began to have more and more problems. Check out the toshiba support forum before you buy it. I am going to get the 5105-s607 to replace it. No one has reported problems with it yet.. Good Luck

Summary: Worse Than Paper and Pencil
Review: Whatever you do... do not purchase this machine. You are spending [money] on a doorstop that gets less work done than paper and pencil. I have to say that this is absolutely the worst purchase I have ever made. The computer has a desktop processor which overheats and thus causes it to shut down unexpectedly. Even better is the fact that Toshiba released a patch which throttles the cpu to lower than 50%. So basically you are paying for a laptop that runs at 500 mhz and shuts down on you periodically. Toshiba will not refund your money and will only tell you to send it into their service depot for which they do not have a fix.
