A Great Little Home and Business Machine 2008-06-20
This model is my second Toshiba laptop, which I need for work at my restaurant and on the road for consulting business. I bought it in mid-May; Amazon delivery service was fast and safe, as usual.
I installed Windows Office 2007 and Outlook 2007, plus the Kaspersky Anti-Virus package as soon as I got it. (I always found the Norton/McAfee package to be slow, btw; Kaspersky is faster, much faster). All packages work great with Vista Premium, and I've not had any problems with any of them, including Vista Premium, which works just fine.
The Core 2 Duo processors make for much faster start up/shut down times as compared with those of my three year old Satellite which used the Pentium 4 processor and indeed, all programs seem to work faster than the old laptop. Processor heat is not that bad, and actually helps keep you warm when used on the lap on cold nights! The display on the new Satellite is much brighter and as someone else mentioned, the keyboard layout is very comfortable and accessible. Note that the touchpad and "click keys" are slightly off center to the left of the laptop, but exactly centered below the qwerty keys; I didn't notice this nice touch until recently. As well, there are the little usb symbols on top, which guide your fingers in connecting, so that you don't have to look over the edge when connecting. The sound system is excellent and strong. The black plastic casing has very nice finish, seems very strong, and in my case, at least, I've had no scratches at all after a month's use (lucky, maybe). Fingerprints show up, but are easily cleaned. Built in mike, speakers and webcam work great with skype; no need for headsets anymore! Weight: new machine is bit lighter than the old one, because the old one had light aluminum cover and keyboard plate; the new one is some sort of tough plastic, as I mentioned.
The only small complaint I'd submit is that the AC connection cord is now on the side as opposed the back on my first Toshiba. The cord has a small cylindrical capacitor sort of thingy about 6" from the computer and if that thing dangles over the side of your desk or table where you're working and you move the laptop to the left, you might inadvertently disconnect the laptop. If you're working without the battery inserted as I usually do at home or at work, you'll need to be careful about this.
In closing, I'm really happy with this new laptop and I'd recommend it highly to those folks interested in mid-price range, non-specialized type of laptop, and I give it five stars!
Elegant desing

I love many things on my new laptop but one of the most is the keyboard with lights
screen dosnt work 
2008-05-28
well i got the computer and powered it up but the screen never came on it must have gotten damaged during shipping or something i really dont know how good of a computer it is cause i cant use but im defintly going to get it fixed cause i beleive it would be a very good computer
amazing sound, good overall 2008-05-21
I have the model A305-S6837 which has a larger hard drive and a little more ram but otherwise is the same. I bought it to get more speed for photo editing and didn't think about the sound but after I used it with itunes and media player playing my favorite classical selections I love it. I use the scroll wheel for volumne right in the front and find it very convenient. I also like the keyboard key size and the layout of the non letter keys. It performs very well with everything I've tried so far so I am very pleased with it.
best quality and fast service 2008-07-19

keyboard shines , lcd idem 
2008-07-07
Although pretty, when I used it the reflexion of light hurted my eyes. It's just frustrating to have a brand new notebook thats is ugly to use. If Toshiba has a differente case (that not shines), with a different keyboard and even a different LCD please contact me, because I am intending to change it... I m talking serious.
Bullet Proof Laptop 2008-07-06
I purchased this laptop for my mother. I've been a Toshiba fan for years. They were recommended to me by a friend who had several and loved them. I purchased one approximately four years ago. I've referred to it as "bullet proof" because all I've done is use it. Never had to do a complete software reinstall that seems to be a frequent Dell requirement. I don't know anything about Toshiba tech support - I've never had to call them. When my mother needed a laptop, she tried and returned several. The Dell was atrocious - the computer and their tech support. I suggested this Toshiba and so far it seems consistent with my experience. It's fast, has a crisp screen, great wireless capability, and so far completely reliable. I can't think of a single negative thing to write.
A fantastic laptop for a fantastic price ! 2008-06-30
I bought the most expensive configuration with the 6 cell battery and the battery lasts 3 hours with internet usage. It performs moderate ( medium details ) on games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4. The keyboard has an excellent layout. It becomes a bit hot from both sides of the touch pad when using constantly. Everybody I show it to is amazed with the design.
The price is excellent for the performance you get from this laptop. It runs Vista smoooothly. No problems at all even if you add 50 more unneccessary programs to run simultaniously. I have tried opening 30+ tabs in IE7 - absolutely no slow down. Photoshop CS3 starts ( brand new installation ) for 3,6 seconds. Amazing, huh ?
What more can you ask - a fantastic laptop for a fantastic price !
