2.0 out of 5 stars A nice system but..., September 7, 2007

This review is from: Toshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 17-inch Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7300, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, HD SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Ultimate) (Personal Computers)

A nice system, very elegant design and performance...no complaints there. A bit costly and the HD DVD Drive has seemingly buggy audio playback with HD Disks. For the price, as with most electronic devices, you expect some baked-in price for the customer service that comes with the package. On this piece; you are throwing a fair percentage of that unit cost out the window. Have called TOSHIBA Customer Support 3 times on a single issue. System will not recognize the TV Tuner that is part of overall unit. Not a buy-up but; sold as 'part of the package'. I was transferred to "Level 2" support 3 times, waited on hold for 20 minutes 3 times and was promised a "call-back" within 4 hours. That has taken place over five days since I received the computer one week back. To date; nothing, no call back, no email. The last time I called, I mentioned that I was ready to return the system on a poor Customer Service basis alone. Same result; no call back. It is a bit disheartening.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sub-standard Keyboard, August 5, 2007

This review is from: Toshiba Qosmio F45-AV412 15.4-inch Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7100, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, HD SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Ultimate) (Personal Computers)

Model: Qosmio F45-AV412 15.4"

PROS:
- Very clear screen.
- Very nice sound system.
- Huge hard drive (250 GB)
- The 2 GB RAM, Intel Turbo Memory somehow make up for the slow hard drive (just 4200rpm).


CONS:
- HD is only 4200rpm. Slow compared to other HD's with higher rpm (5400, 7200, etc).
- White keyboard. Hard to keep 'em clean.
- LCD Cover Color (Cosmic Black) would definitely have lots of fingerprint marks.
- Placement of 2 USB drives (total of 4) on the lower-right side. This is such a hassle when you use a mouse.
- Placement of the headphone port on the mid-right side. This is such a hassle when you use a mouse.
- IMPORTANT: Battery life leaves much to be desired.
- IMPORTANT: Have experienced screen display not being shown after sleep-mode activation (sleep-mode activated after you close the lid). Thus forcing you to restart your laptop by brute force (Read: no shutting down).
- IMPORTANT: POOR KEYBOARD!!! One key popped-out on my first use. I had to have it replaced because it gets popping out. Funny thing was that the same model being displayed at the store where i bought it, and it also had a missing key.

1.0 out of 5 stars Qosmio has manufacturing defects, October 19, 2007

I purchased a Qosmio G15R. It was manufactured with a defective motherboard, which was replaced by Toshiba. The same problems resurfaced after the warranty expired. Toshiba told me too bad. I'll never buy any Toshiba product again, especially considering how rude the technical service people were.
