Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 13.3-inch Laptop (2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

My previous laptop was a Toshiba so I was inclined to come back to this brand. I love this laptop. I searched online for a new laptop and did not see it before I purchased it. The laptop is very reasonably priced for what you get. My friend was so impressed by it she started looking to buy one also. I don't mind Vista although I did like XP better. I miss the scroll button that was on my last Toshiba but I am sure I will get used to this one not having one over time. So far I have not found any flaws besides this minor one. Some people don't like the shiny keys and such but it doesn't bother me one bit and wipes away very easily.

everything i want for this little guy so powerful and i can bring it where i want...trust me

I didn't see the laptop before I bought. I like it too much. It's small, nice and useful. Firstly, I want to buy a SONY-SZ series notebook but prices of SZ series is actually 1,5 times of this Toshiba. I think, I made a good decision to buy Toshiba. I haven't seen much difference from a SONY. In addition, face detection and fingerprint logons are very nice. I think SONY does not have these properties.
The biggest disadvantage for me is, this machine does not have BLUETOOTH.
I enjoy this TOSHIBA.

I have had mine about two weeks, and am impressed. I owned a Toshiba before this one, so I like the brand and return to it.

First of all thank you Toshiba for still including an actual DVD recovery disk. Most computers expect the consumer to make their own. The fit and finish on my unit are perfect. Very solid feel with stylish looks. The screen is beautiful. It is bright and clear and mine has no dead pixels. Keyboard seems great to me, though some express concerns, mine seems very solid and responds perfect. I had never used a fingerprint reader before, but am a believer now. It works great, and helps with security.

It does not come with Vista Home, but rather Vista Business (with Service Pack 1). That is not a problem with me, but perhaps would be an issue for some. I quickly got rid of the bloatware, disabled the useless Vista services and themes, and have a very fast and stable system. Vista Business enables you to make a complete backup of your system, a great and useful feature. This is my first Vista machine, and I wanted to hate it. I am/was a die hard XP guy. But I must say after I cleaned it up, I really like it and have had no issues.

A few nitpics..... The speakers are not the greatest (laptops never are) and they are very quiet. Would be nice to have a bit for volume from them. It is a very stylish laptop, but get used to fingerprints all over it. Every little thing shows, and though it looks great, a matte finish would be easier to keep clean. The bloatware is a pain (not the worst I've seen) and takes about 45 minutes to get rid of. But just about all laptops are full of bloatware (with the exception of Macs) so not really something to rag on this particular one about.

In closing. A great laptop and a great value.

I knew that laptops from Toshiba are amazing.
but beczuse of their design, I had preferred other ones.
However, unlike other ones from toshiba, it is amazing.
Evertybody says my laptop is so sexy, of cousre it's function is perfect for me
