Customer Reviews
Great for the price! 
2008-04-22
A pretty good computer for the price. I can't fault Toshiba on design, simplicity of use, and overall computing power. My one complaint is that of many which is Windows Vista, not the actual machine.
I like it 2008-04-19
I have not once got the black screen, could be a little faster, but i love the laptop
Great laptop 2008-04-17
The Toshiba A215-S6804 15'4 laptop is an excellent laptop. It exceeded the specs of my computer and runs so much faster, even with Vista on it. It's definitely a multi-taking laptop. I haven't had to face the "blank screen" problem or whatever it is called. The BIOs for that was in the laptop, so I just double-clicked it and installed. Runs smoothly and had no problem so far.
The only problem might the video card. It's not bad but its not exactly a gaming laptop, so its more likely that it won't run a high-end game. It runs not-so-demanding games, so personally I don't mind.
Save Yourself the Headaches 
2008-04-15
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite and have regretted it ever since. Owning a Toshiba product has been the worst experience of my life.
In short, within less then 6 months the computer won't turn on. After hours on hold (and being hung up on) I got through to Toshiba customer service representative, then I had to drive over 45 minutes to take it to an "authorized service provider". In the year I have owned my computer it was being repair for more than 5 months of that time. I caution anyone buying a Toshiba product not to. Toshiba provides the worse customer service I have ever encountered. Save yourself the aggravation and headaches and never buy one of their products. I never will again.
specs are not the same 
2008-04-11
The laptop is fine, but be warned, mine had no webcam, isn't blue and the hard drive is 184 (with 1.14 hidden) gig not 200.
J&R offer no explanation but gave me a 20 dollar credit. I bought webcam from them and then paid 9.95 for postage.
still the computer I got is OK it seems. Has the usual amount of rubbish on the hard drive though.
Great Laptop 
2008-06-19
The laptop is really nice. It has 64-bit AMD processors, which I feel work faster that Intel chips (from my own experience). It would be near perfect if not for the awful Vista OS. Vista is simply awful for me to use until I performed numerous tweaks that turned off most of its so-called improvements. Once I disabled most of Vista's "improvements" the laptop's speed really screamed upwards dramatically. A new Vista user should google the web for Vista speed tweaks--I found 10 on one site and more on others. Since I use my own firewall, a secure proxy, several spyware catchers, etc., I don't use Windows defender or any of the other new garbage that Microsoft put in Vista. The laptop would be absolutely wonderful had it come with XP (a far superior OS to Vista IMHO).
Excelente decision 2008-06-01
Excelente rendimiento, excelente precio y estéticamente muy bonita, por mucho fue una excelente decision de compra.
get what you pay for 2008-05-31
I bought this about 3 months ago for $550. At first I thought I had found a great deal but found out a few problems with time. First of all the cd-rom wont read the dvds I put in it. I know its not the dvds fault because my old dell laptop reads them just fine. Secondly, the battery life is much worse than expected. One of the reasons I got a new laptop was because my old one's battery life had become so poor over the years. This Toshiba is brand new and it barely gets over an hour of battery life. If you're like me than you don't really ever use the cd-rom nowadays anyway and most of the time I'm near an outlet so I still gave it three stars because those really are the only problems. However I would not recommend buying it at the currently inflated price.
Toshiba Satellite with Vista a Disappointment 2008-05-29
Bought it for my nephew and it was a let down in terms of performance and function.
I would have returned the product but my husband threw out the boxes.
I always check if amazon sells something first before I buy it elsewhere and this time I have buyers remorse
Right out of the box-Did not work! 2008-04-22
I must of bought a Lemon. The wireless card did not work. I called Toshiba customer service and they told me to do a few things to test it that I have already done on my own. Then they said to call back if thier update did not work. I called back since it did not work and the next rep told me to re-install all the software and then to call back once that is done. That did not help so I called back and the next rep basically started over and went through everything I have already done. So then they said to take it to an "authorized service provider". It has been there for one month. They ordered a piece that was on backorder. A waste of money on a computer that I can not even use.
