my first laptopDec 08, 2009
By D. White
This is my first laptop. I was shopping on black Friday, have heard great things about Toshiba laptops, and they had this one for 499.00 so I said what the heck and got it! I also ordered a wireless router. A few days later the box came and I could not be happier. The best thing about is the the display. It is very sharp, bright, and clear. The keyboard is nice as well. I can't stand the touchpad, but I think that's a common problem with all laptops. I immediately went out and bought a wireless mouse to use with it. The sound is not great either, but again, I think that's common with laptops. It seems pretty sturdy, and runs cool. It does not get hot, and the fan doesn't even run when the ambient temp is around 65 degrees. Setting up the wireless network was a breeze, and when I started up the laptop, it found the signal immediately, and never loses it. The computer is very fast and I have not had one problem. Very satisfied..and wow what a great price I got--this is a well equipped laptop.

 Excellent! So Happy with it.Dec 09, 2009

This is my second laptop and my first was Toshiba too. The first one stayed with me for Four years and did start to die.
So I decided to purchase this during the Black Friday Deal and the price was seducing! I got it a few days ago and wow!
This laptop is worth every dollar! The only thing you might consider before purchasing is that the battery doesn't stay too long when unplugged. If you need it for home use then this is it and at an amazing price!

Wish it had an HDMI outputDec 10, 2009
By D. Sheehan
I had looked for a while for a laptop after my desktop died and the Toshiba L505 series was one of my finalists. It has not disappointed me and at the price ($499) for the specs (4g ram/500g HD)it has been the a great machine.
One plus with this machine is that it came with very little "bloatware"- Norton trial, Microsoft Office 2007 trial, and some games. So, if you buy this machine at a "Box Store" don't let them con you into optimization for an extra $50-$100, you can do recovery disks and bloatware removal on your own.
The only downside is I really wish it had an HDMI output for streaming movies to my flat screen from places like Amazon, but the VGA or USB output will have to suffice.
No HDMI is only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, other machines in this range offer it and hope Toshiba will soon.

 love my new fast laptopJan 23, 2010

I have had it now for a couple weeks and for the most part it is a great laptop. I like the desktop wallpaper option that allows you to make it a slideshow of as many pics as you want in different time intervals. this computer boots in mere seconds which is awesome compared to some computers that take up to 10 minutes in some cases like my moms dell desktop which is so underpowered its crazy. she bought it on a home shopping network channel. trust me thats a bad idea on buying computers. anyway my computer is very fast and i like windows 7. its also HD so you can watch movies online or HD youtube videos that are available in HD actually in HD. only one complaint. when watching a streaming movie on DIVX it does have an issue with not completely stretching all the way to full screen on DIVX windowed mode when connected to a widescreen television. at least the one tv that i tried it on. thats not a huge complaint though as I dont usually use this computer for movie watching connected to a tv. I will be using it as my mobile internet laptop for work and elsewhere on the go. I also will be upgrading this computer to 8 gigs of ram although it really doesnt need it as it really is a fast computer but hey its going to get even faster. I love that it can be upgraded to 8 gigs.
UPDATE: its only been two or 3 weeks now but now my internal speakers do not work. I redownloaded the sound driver from toshiba but they still do not work. the headphone jack works and external speakers will work to but it sucks that the internal speakers that are on this computer decided to stop working so quickly. I went online and it is an issue with Toshiba laptops.

Another terrific Toshiba!Dec 22, 2009
By Carolina Magnolia
This is my 3rd laptop, 2nd Toshiba. I got one of these on Black Friday for my son, and just ordered another for myself. I love Win 7! There is very little preloaded crap to remove and it is super fast. Having the numeric keypad on the side and an amazing screen add to its sheer awesomeness. The touchpad is ultra cool. I must agree with other reviewers that the sound is lacking, but I did not purchase the laptop to be my primary music player so I still gave it 5 stars. I was shocked when I first closed the laptop, being used to ones that latch. This one doesn't latch and the tension hinge (which keeps it closed in lieu of a latch) wants to slam shut in the last few inches, whereas those that latch have to be pushed all the way closed. It survived that rough close and my 1st Toshiba, four months old and running great for my college student, survived a 3 foot drop onto carpet. If a Toshiba can survive me, it has my loyalty.
