UPDATE on November 24, 2011. This is a relatively new laptop from Toshiba, without any reviews posted before mine, so I wrote what follows to try to supply some information to people who were trying to decide whether to take advantage of a one-day Amazon special. That special is now over, and this computer is currently listed for its regular Amazon price, which is about $150 more than it was on November 23rd. With the large number of sales of this model recorded yesterday, hopefully reviewers with hands-on experiences to share should show up in a while.
[Original review follows:] I am writing this review on a day [November 23, 2011] that this laptop is an Amazon featured special, and at its special price I think it is definitely worth considering. Since there are no hands-on reviews to consider and you only have today to decide on the special price, I suggest that you compare this model with the very popular Toshiba R835-P56x, which is also available on Amazon and has lots of reviews. I will summarize the comparability of these two laptops in a moment, but suffice it to say that they are in the same ballpark regarding features and performance. For today, at least, the R845-S85 is being offered at a significantly lower price.
The R845-S85 has a slightly larger screen (14 inch versus 13.3 inch), a similar Intel Core i5 processor (Core i5-2430M versus Core i5-2410M), has 6GB of RAM (versus 4GB), similar integrated graphics, same hard drive (640GB), similar ports, same optical drive, the same Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system, and features a claimed 10 hour battery life (versus 8 hours). One potentially important disadvantage compared to the R835-P56x is that the R845-S85 weighs 4.2 pounds, versus 3.2 pounds. The more you carry around your laptop, perhaps the more this difference will be meaningful to you.
Simply put, there is no such thing as a laptop with the longest battery life, most powerful processor and graphics capabilities, strongest construction and lowest price. You need to decide which features are most important to you and then narrow your selection accordingly. If what you want is a model with good processing capability, relatively light weight, good battery performance and an optical drive--all at a very good price--then this R845-S85 model is well worth your consideration.
Full disclosure: I own the Toshiba R835-P70, which is the R835-P56x (that I used as the comparison above) with Wi-Max capability added. I have had no problems with it, and for my use (mostly business) its combination of features make it the best laptop I have owned.
One more thing: There is an interesting suggestion for an external laptop speaker buried in the comments section (I think it's about the 16th comment). Since laptops, especially smaller ones like this, are not known for having high quality speakers, you may find this speaker worth a look.

Pros:
Fast i5 processor
6 gigs of RAM, a spacious HDD
Long battery life (at least 4.5 hours on full blast; up to 7.5 hours if not used aggressively)
USB 3.0 (w/ sleep and charge)
HDD protection gizmo - allegedly protects the hard drive from minor accidents
Cons:
Squishy keyboard - beware if you're a regular touch typist!
The wireless antenna works only on the 2.4 GHz band - even my 3-year old HP Pavilion can connect to the 5 GHz band! However, this laptop has far better reception, so it's not such a big deal. Just a tad disappointing.
Everything seems cheap - the hinges creak, the plastic looks cheesy. When I lug it around closed, I'm afraid it will crack open.
A really silly choice of dedicated shortcut buttons (there are only two; one is for turning on the Eco mode - why would I need to do this in a hurry? why? - the other one switches on the WiDi; IMHO a mute + wifi antenna buttons would have made much more sense)
Despite all the negative remarks, the laptop gets the job done without breaking a sweat, and if it weren't for the horrid keyboard I'd have given it 4 stars.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this Laptop when it was the Amazon Deal of the Day for $599. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, especially at that ridiculously low price point. Instead of going over all the specs, I'll highlight some pros and cons of this laptop for potential buyers.
Pros:
- Construction/Look: The chassis and chiclet keyboard (spill-resistant) feel real sturdy and of high-quality. The construction of this laptop doesn't have a cheap "plastic" feeling like some laptops out on the market.
- Battery Life: The battery life on this 6-cell battery is unbelievable, especially for a 14' laptop. For the first few charge cycles, I've been able to consistently get over 7 hours of battery life surfing the web and playing music with headphones. The ecoUtility app really helps with prolonging battery life.
- Intel WiDi capable: I really wanted a laptop with this capability so that I can wirelessly stream to my TV while working on my laptop. Note that you need to buy a WiDi adapter to connect to your TV/display (~$100).
- Performance: The i5 processor coupled with 6GB of memory gives this laptop plenty of juice for 99% of computing activities.
- SIZE of hard drive: 640GB of space is more than you'll probably even use.
- Weight: 4.2 pounds and just about 1 inch thick makes this laptop pretty portable.
- Optical Drive: This may not factor much for some people, but as more and more companies opt to remove optical drives from their laptops, it was nice to see Toshiba put in a full DVD burner/drive on this machine.
- Connectivity: 1 USB 3.0 port AND capability for USB Sleep-and-Charge (charge stuff while laptop is off) AND an e-SATA/USB combo port AND an HDMI input is awesome!
- Value: For the 600-800 price range for a 14 inch laptop, you'd struggle to find a laptop with this much under the hood.
Cons:
- No Bluetooth: a tiny external USB dongle runs for about 10 bucks, but I wish Toshiba would have built-in a bluetooth receiver.
- Screen: 1366 x 768 resolution (720p). Not bad by any means, but for a 14', It would have been nice to see a higher resolution offered.
- Speakers: Sound can be a bit tinny at loud volumes. Noticably better than Portege R835 speakers though.
- SPEED of hard drive: the 640GB hard drive only runs at 5400 rpm. I would have liked to see that be at 7200rpm or even a SSD drive, but all things considered, I can't complain much...just a nagging annoyance.
- Bloatware/Volume of Apps: Toshiba seemed to have cut down on the total amount of bloatware they put on this machine but they have too many apps pre-installed on this machine for my liking so I ended up manually uninstalling some that I knew I would never use.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this laptop to anyone considering it at the $600-800 price point, as you'd be hard pressed to find significantly better deals. As another reviewer said, this is basically the 14 inch version of the Portege R835-P81 laptop (also sold on Amazon). That's just a smaller version (13.3' 3.2 lbs), but overall there are a LOT of similarities, even with the look. If you're in the market for a laptop with comparable specs but want something smaller, check that out. I hope this helps potential buyers out!
