I ordered this item for the 18.4 inch screen because of my poor eyesight. Unfortunately this system apparent has only 2 possible video resolutions the its “native mode”, which makes characters much too small for me to read anything on the screen, and the 800 by 600 mode. So the wide screen is useless to me. Apparently J & R will not accept the return of a computer after setup has been run, so I’m stuck with it. It may be of some use as a second computer if it is compatible with my 30 inch monitor, but not as a laptop. It may be a good laptop at a good price, but check the specs carefully to know what you are ordering.

I AM NOT A COMOUTER PRO. BUT THIS COMPUTER IS A VERY GOOD BUY CONSIDERING THE PRICE AND THE BIG SCREEN. YOU WON’T GO WRONG WITH IT.

I have had this laptop for about a month and I love it. It has all the features I need plus some. I replaced an HP laptop that was going down hill fast and this laptop does not have the hardware conflicts that HP computers seem to have. I play DDO quite a bit and the computer has a better display and smoother video than my last one. I love the size of the screen and the full size number pad, it makes things easier. If you are looking at the pictures that come with the description it may seem that it has an HDMI output it DOES NOT. It has a covered port where one can be installed but it is not there. It would have been nice to be able to hook the laptop up to my TV but it lacks the port to do so. Other than that the laptop is a great buy. If you are looking for a backpack for it I did find one that worked. Targus XL Backpack Designed for 17 Inch Notebooks TXL617 was the only backpack that would seem to work for this laptop. I can fit this laptop plus my older one in the same backpack.

This is by far the best offer in the market. Getting all this for such low price is really a bargain. I’m using it for a week and every time I’m surprised by it features and performance.

This laptop is very nice. Love the big screen, which is not overly reflective like some. The speakers are good for a laptop. The keyboard is comfortable with good sized keys.
The only thing I don’t like is there are not enough USB ports, only four, and they are located two on either side and none in the back where they should be. My old Dell had 6 USB ports and 4 of them were in the back out of the way. Now I have to watch out for cables sticking out the sides, plus I had to purchase a USB hub to get extra ports. In all fairness to Toshiba, I couldn’t locate another brand of laptop (Dell included) that had USB ports in the back.
