duluthsnow Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 I reccomend anything OTHER than Toshiba. I have had three Toshiba laptops between my son and I and they have all required replacement of power supplies (which are soldered to the motherboard), overheating issues and the poorest customer support. Google toshiba laptop problems (especially power supply issues). Good Luck. I am a slow learner myself (it took 3 before I learned)

I need to figure out which one has less issues or fewer complaints I guess,lol.
tokanm Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 well we have a toshiba for over 4 yrs and no problem...our dell laptop on the other hand has had to have everything replaced..motherboard, keyboard, screen, many batteries. IMHO this looks like a good deal
Kayakmom Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 What's sad is that so many companies have customer service issues! My mil has a Toshiba and has not had any complaints, but honestly I don't think she uses it very often so I don't think it should count. Jen, do you really want this big monstrosity, lol? The screen is 17", which is considered basically a desktop replacement. That's BIG and HEAVY. It weighs 7.2 pounds. That doesn't sound like a lot but if you are carrying it around and maybe using it on the couch, in bed, etc. it's cumbersome. My hubby had an HP like that and it's not my preference. The 1.9 processor speed is good, though. It's not a bad deal but you can get a comparable or slightly better 15.4 inch brand new for the same price. I would just suggest being patient and picking out the things that are most important to you. Lightweight is fairly high up on my importance list.
Nat1128 Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 check out the dell outlet you can get a refurb with better specs for about $500 a lot of people are wary of refurbs, but i love them cause they have already been checked and adjusted for whatever bugs they might have
