Excellent laptop with minor issues I purchased this laptop primarily based on the processor/RAM and hard drive specifications. The interface is simple, looks sleek and is not cluttered with too many keys. The screen size and resolution are good. So far the machine seems to deliver as expected.
It is definitely on the heavier side and so handling requires some effort. Amazon advertised the laptop as having a built in webcam, but that is not true. L305-S5902 model does not come with a webcam. There are other laptops in the L30...

Caterpillar to Butterfly. 192 MB Ram to 3 GB RAM Though I loved my previous laptop and used it with no complaints since November 2003, I feel like I was a caterpillar and now I'm a butterfly, using my new Toshiba L305D-S5581! Well, okay, I did have a complaint about how long it took my old PC to boot up and shut down, and was thrilled with my new Toshiba's faster accomplishments of those routine operations. I had expected slower instead of faster, due to VISTA and the additional programs which would be on the new laptop. I had XP on my old ...

Best $500 I've ever spent. Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this laptop on sale ($499), and can say that I was pleasantly surprised. With two gigs of ram and the excellent Pentium dual-core under the hood, the performance is great, not at all what I expected for only $500. I can type up essays, work on Solidworks projects, and even play a little HL2 with this laptop. And it didn't come wit...

Amazing laptop at an amazing price Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price to performance ratio on this unit is the best I have ever experienced. I paid 450 bucks for the unit on sale. I have yet to purchase a bad Toshiba laptop: this model is no exception. The CPU is really a reconfigured Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile T7300. It has some of the cache disabled, but that and a 667MHz clock speed are offset by a faster system bo...

Great bargain Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I was pleasantly surprised by the fit, finish and speed of this low priced computer. It boots up and surfs the internet faster than the 1300 dollar, 3 year old dell it is replacing. It also feels structurally stronger too (the reason I dumped the dell, %$^&&*^% hinges AGAIN!). For the money, this thing is really sur...

Great Price Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I got this to give to my brother for Christmas. Ran great right out of the box. Took about 30 min to remove Norton and the other extra stuff. Installed AVG Free and it ran even better. I was thinking about getting another but I don't need another laptop,but I am tempted :)
Cons: Windows, I use Linux.

Great deal, adequate specs, inexpensive. Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Wife loves it. Price tag was too good to pass up. It's not going to measure up to my home PC, but I didn't expect it to. Perfect for writing papers, surfing the web and pictures/movies/music.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: 5 cell lithium ion battery, not the best, but adequate. Vista makes it ea...

Very Nice Laptop Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and decided to set it up for her so I have been tweaking and testing it for two weeks now. Uninstalling Norton was pretty straight forward, but removing others was a bit confusing. Still, the bloatware wasn't as bad as with many other commercial PCs. Stuck with Vista it pays to get a Vista optimization guid...
