Customer Reviews

great price for the features and size
I purchased this computer to replace my 3-year-old HP laptop, which was reliable but heavy and running out of hard drive space. I seriously considered a MacBook because I wanted a computer that was easily portable, and I was somewhat skeptical about Vista, but this turned out to be a great choice. This Toshiba is even lighter than a Macbook and has a much larger hard drive and more RAM, all for a much better price. So far I haven't had any complaints with Vista, though that may change when I go back to school and need to use it to write papers, etc. The Toshiba has an overall nice look and feel--keyboard and touchpad are very comfortable to use and don't feel cramped despite the small size of the computer. If you're a PC user considering the jump to Mac, take a good look at this computer first.

I love my new notebook!
I was looking for a compact notebook to replace my old Sony Vaio and, after much research, decided on this laptop. I have not been disappointed, and am in fact very pleased with it.

The pros: it is fast, well designed, easy to use, and fairly compact. It's light too - not quite as light as the Sony 13 inchers - but for me that did not justify the insane increase in price for the Sonys. Also i like how it runs all my old XP programs without a hitch. It feels solid and well built, and the screen is nice and bright.

The cons: BEWARE! Amazon got the photo for this product wrong - it DOES NOT come with a fingerprint reader! If you are interested in that, there are other models in the u405 series that have it. Another thing that is not that great is the battery life. This model has the lower level battery, and probably won't last more than a couple of hours. Again, other models of the same series do have the bigger battery. So, if that's important to you, I would recommend going with one of those. Also, fingerprints show up like crazy on the glossy black 'fusion' finish. It doesn't really bother me at all because they wipe off very easily.

Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would buy it again if I had it to do over.

I am very satisfied
I purchased this laptop a month ago and I am very satisfied. It is thin and very light, and also it is stylish! Its size is perfect because it is small enough to take it with you everywhere and also you can work accurately on it (you can read the letters because their size is not too small). I highly recommend toshiba, this brand is forever, I changed my old toshiba because I got bored with it, but it still works perfect.
