4.0 out of 5 stars Toshiba Satellite L505-GS5035 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Laptop, April 26, 2010

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L505-GS5035 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)

My son asked me to select a laptop in his price range that would be suitable for college classwork. Toshiba has a better reputation than most for problems out of the box and frequency of repair. He doesn't plan to use it for intensive graphics work or for hi-fidelity sound reproduction, so nothing is lost with the absence of a discrete video card or high-end speakers. This computer is light, easy to carry, and has an excellent battery life due to its Intel i3 processor. The 320GB hard disk and 4GB of RAM should be more than adequate for normal business apps and presentation software. The TruBrite screen has acceptable visibility in daylight. The product was delivered promptly and arrived in excellent condition. My son feels he got much greater value than he expected for the modest price he paid ($550). If you don't create and/or collect a lot of media files, don't plan to play high-end games, and can live with speakers that sound somewhat tinny, this laptop is a good choice at a good price.

Worthy of the money spent. Latest processor, memory, and operating system. Tried to build this computer from the Toshiba website, and could not match this price. Most laptops in this price range, offer out dated processors, and the ddr2 memory, or the old windows os. I3 processor, DDR3 memory, and Windows 7! Finding all that in a package as beautiful as this Toshiba for less than $600 is next to impossible (at the time of this writing). The 10 key is also a plus. This is my 2nd Toshiba, and I have had a good experience with both. My only complaint is that the hard drive is rated at 5400 rpm and not 7200. Meets all my current needs.

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L505-GS5035 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)

At the beginning I was satisfied with the product. But in less than a year it started giving problems. First, sound didn't want to work. I sent the computer which was in warranty and it got a change in the motherboard and the speakers, which didn't do anything because it stills doesn't work. Then the battery is dying, in almost the same period of time, it has to be change (I don't know how because is money I dont have). The only option for the sound I have left is ordering a recovery disk, which I tried to make one when I got the computer but it didn't let me, it gave me errors.

The laptop has good specs, but as in durability, it isn't very good. I recommend buying a product with more warranty, just in case something like this happens to you.
