I would suggest when buying an computer go to Staples or any Tech. Have them Back the Unit Up w/your memory disk and let them load up any software disk, Any problem, they will back the unit. (Their are coupon with all kinds of percent discount)
that can be used to help pay for this service !!!


This is my first computer!!!!!
Check other computers. I know you will be Happy with an Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5066

While this laptop is really nice, I had a problem with the power cord getting VERY hot after just an hour of use when the laptop was three months old. It would also start to smell.

I contacted Toshiba, who at first did nothing, and then sent me the wrong part to replace it. On the third try they sent me the right part, however the problem continued.

This is definitely a hardware issue and not the adapter. I then learned they had a recall on the previous years model, but this year's was not covered even though the symptoms are similar.


The main issues:

The plug expands because it heats so much (causing a distinct burning odor and burn marks on the laptop), so it will not fit into the port and therefore not charge.

If you charge it while in sleep mode, it will charge without burning, but since it is only recognized by the battery once in a while you never know if it is charging or not.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, POTENTIAL BURN HAZARD - SHOP ANOTHER BRAND

This is a good laptop at a good price. Purchased it for my daughter to replace her old HP. Has built in CD/DVD writer, wireless, web cam. Theres only one thing that I think Toshiba missed the boat on: Bluetooth. This laptop would have been great if it came with Bluetooth. It should be a standard feature.

I still would recommend this laptop, you just needs to buy a bluetooth adapter. Not a big deal, but you do loose a USB port...sigh.

This is my first laptop, and I chose it after much deliberating for 500$. Everything about it was a steal. The only complaint I've had is that the fan turns on quite often, but for this price range, I didn't expect anything else. Besides that, no complaints and a great buy.

Pros
Decent Memory
Decent speed

Cons
Poor battery life....helps to adjust to best performance instead of visual appearance.... Battery life is <1hr without charging.
Poor speakers...

My wife bought this laptop for me. It was an anniversary present. (34 years) Dumped Windoze 7. Loaded Linux, OpenSuse 11.4. Who needs Windows?!
The esata port is a really nice to have. Extended life battery will be my next upgrade.

It's an okay middle-of-the-road laptop. The sound is good, the display is good, the touch pad is good, but the performance could be better. The real downfall is that it gets hot -- very hot, quickly and often. Prepare to use a laptop cooler. It sometimes lags during video playback, and I'm not sure if this is due to the heat or something else. The battery life is middle-of-the-road, as well. If you use it at home, you're fine. If you travel with it, bring a spare battery. Originally, I would have recommended it, but the more I use it and see the performance comparison to my other laptop, the less likely I would be to recommend this.

Perfecta !! la recomiendo, agil, rapida, trabaja muy bien con varias pantallas abiertas haciendo multitareas simultaneamente, no parece afectarle la carga de trabajo, no pierde velocidad, estoy muy contento con la compra.

Quick, powerful laptop at a very reasonable price.

I recently helped my dad purchase a laptop as well and incidentally ended up purchasing this same model, which I purchased 5 months earlier, after helping him research all the new laptop options available.

The only truly missing feature in my mind is a HDMI connection. The battery life is average; I've learned to use the battery management task icon to optimize the battery life when unplugged. Otherwise, it's a perfect laptop.

I love the new laptop I purchased. It came to me faster than Amazon has stated and was exactly what they advertised. Thanks.
