Bought package that included this laptop the weekend after Thanksgiving 2013 from BB Electronics Store.
I bought the laptop primarily for writing code and MS Exel and Word. (Note: computer did not come with Excel and Word installed.
If not listed in the description must be purchased separately.)

The following are what I like about the laptop:
> The computer starts up quickly from shutdown (25-30sec) and sleep (5sec)
(removed Norton Anti-Virus and installed AVG Free and it starts up from shut down a little faster. 7 sec faster according to AVG)
(also removed the majority of the apps and bloatware on the computer. There wasn't much bloatware.)
> Computer opens and runs programs quickly.
> The screen has good resolution and a wide range of brightness
> Battery has lasted over two hours with screen on next to lowest brightness and using a compiler to write code. 60% remaining
(I am sure using multimedia would consume the battery faster.)
> 1 - USB3.0 port, 2 - USB2.0 ports, HDMI output, DVD +-RW
> Wifi works fine.
> Sturdy construction (Haven't dropped it yet...)
> The touchpad works. (Package included logitech wireless mouse)
> Does not weigh to much for daily transport.

The following are what I dislike about the laptop:
> The screen is somewhat glossy. Not as bad as some laptops I have used but not matte either
> The plastic body feels kind of cheap.
> The initial set up took about 20 minutes and required a MS user account ID and Password. I created one just for use on this
computer and accidentally typed it in wrong and was able to bypass this step. Computer also wants an internet connection for
set up but you can get around that also.

Setup- It took me all of about five minutes to get this laptop up and purring. (It was fully charged when it arrived to me, as well.) I purchased a Patriot Rage 3.0 memory flash drive, enabled ReadyBoost on it and vroom!, very fast Internet speed. (Doing this also adds some memory to the computer for backup, which I'll likely need down the road.) I've downloaded quite a few programs (iTunes, Amazon Cloud, Kindle Reader, etc.), and have noticed no real decrease in computer startup or Internet speed. I deleted the bloatware and excess stuff on the Desktop that was already installed, what little there was of it. My old desktop PC (a 2007 Dell) was becoming obsolete, slow as molasses and problematic in operation- so this laptop is a completely awesome replacement...with the main exception of sound quality. As I'm addicted to music and movies, this is not a great thing. But for the cost of the laptop and two-day free delivery with Amazon Prime, I'm not going to complain too much. I get anti-virus protection free through my Internet service provider, so I did not have to spend extra $$$ on that.

Charging- With heavy use including Internet, a charge lasts me 5-6 hours. It also charges back up to 100% very quickly, too- a heck of a lot faster than my year-old Smartphone does!

OS- All right, Windows 8 will take getting used to, but it honestly is not THAT bad. The most annoying thing is the Start menu not being "pre-loaded" with all applications and a simple search tool. When you hit the start menu button, you're taken out of your desktop screen and into the "front door" of the computer. FYI, you don't have to create an MS account and sign into your computer that way, if you won't be using any MS software.

I just received the laptop and found the battery level stayed at 3% the whole time after plugging in for hours. Just got out of the phone with Toshiba Tech Support and went through a power cycle that I did before calling them. Not helpful at all. This is my second Toshiba Satellite laptop, although a different model. The first one has been running fine without issues for over a year.

I checked Toshiba support site and found this problem an known issue. Guess I am not lucky enough this time. Will continue to follow up with Toshiba support to work on this problem.

Update on 4/10: I called the Tech Support the second time yesterday and reported the problem with the battery. This time, it was quickly concluded that the battery is at fault and a new battery was soon put in order, which should deliver in 5 to 7 days. Surprisingly enough, it arrived today. So far, it's been working fine. I did not have the sound problem like the other buyers reported. With the battery fixed, I am very happy with the product so far and raise to the four star for the product.

After a lot of research I chose this laptop because our other laptop is a 2 year old Toshiba, and my wife and I have been very happy with it.. It came with a lot of programs that are always running when hooked to the internet. This seemed to slow it down a bit because we probably don't have the best internet connection. I stopped some of them and it seems to be a lot faster. Windows 8 (yuk at first). I got on you-tube and watched a 13 minute tutorial and learned a lot that has made it better. It actually has some things I like.
