The Toshiba A55-S306 is a great all around notebook for the price.

The keyboard has a good touch. It's thin shape and light weight is ideal for campus backpacking. The Toshiba notebook was thinner and sharper looking than others in the same price range. The wireless is handy too.

After adding Microsoft Office 2003 it makes a great package

for a complete system.

I bought this laptop new in 2004. After about 4 years this laptop is still running great! The only things i replaced after the first 2 years were the battery, ac adapter, and hard drive. That was because of regular wear and tear during High School. The only issue I am having with it now is the hinges. Apparently both my metal hinge covers broke, so my screen is limp as a leaf. There's some home remedies that I will be trying out this week. Overall...great solid laptop. I highly recommend upgrading ram to 768mb.

I sent my Toshiba Satellite to the company for warranty service and never got it back and the company has ignored all requests, including those by the Better Business Bureau.

This was one of the first laptops I bought from Amazon, and I mist say when I bought it, it was a good price and a very good configuration. Other then that, it was one of my worst purchases and money wasted. It was a gift to my brother, who hated this machine like anything and envied me with the Vaio I had. I am hoping to buy a Sony Vaio or a Macbook Pro for him next time.
