Worthless battery life

I have just one thing to say about my Toshiba Satellite, and I presume this extends to all of Toshiba's laptops: the battery is worthless. It never lasted more than an hour and a half when I got it new and quickly deteriorated until now when it barely lasts 15 minutes. I know laptop batteries wear out, but I've also used IBM laptops at work for many years and those batteries always last for several hours even when they are old (as many as 4 hours!). So if you care about battery life, don't get Toshiba.

A Solid System!!

Before I rant the OS, I want to say this system is solid. It has a Intel Centrio dual-core processor (1.73x2), 1 GB of RAM (667Mhz of speed, 2 512's, more on that later), 8x SuperMulti Drive (burns everything you would think of, but if it is a DVD, wait awhile), a webcam (if video capture if your gig, then disable this first), HD speakers (always a nice touch), and a 15.4" Widescreen display which for me I'll have to get used to seeing that I was brought up with computers that had blocky CRT's. And another cool feature is the Wi-Fi, which when it is turned on, will connect to any internet anywhere. That is cool.

The starting installation is simple. You put it up to charge, and then you do everything it tells you to do. Of course, you should charge the battery up to 100%. Takes about two hours to complete.

The Vista version installed on this computer is the Home Premium one. I know there are differences between the whole family (Basic, Premium, Business, Ultimate), but the one thing they  more

Beautiful Notebook!

I love my new notebook! It's a great price for the product you are getting. Just make sure to purchase two (2) 1 GB memory modules in order to make it run more efficiently. The way the notebook comes, it has two (2) 512 MB memory modules and there are only 2 slots. It is suggested that since it runs on Windows Vista Premium, that it would work best with 2 GB RAM.
