Thorough Investigation Reveals RAM **CAN** Be Expanded to 16GB, Which Improves Multitasking, Gaming, and More! **UPDATED Win10**
By CircaRigel's Tears of the Phoenix TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 17, 2015
Operating System: Windows 8 Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
~Highlights~
!!!NOW!!! Updates on Tech Support (in addition to other updates)
***** 802.11n band wifi- no 802.11ac except via an adapter via the USB 3.0 port
***** Bluetooth readily detects and connects to speakers, headsets, headphones, keyboards and other Bluetooth devices
***** RAM CAN be expanded to 16 GB, contrary to Toshiba saying the max is 8 GB (see review for RAM specs), This determination was based on the specs (I used Speccy to do the analysis) of the Motherboard, CPU, Chip set, & BIOS. (and yes, I HAVE upgraded the RAM and include a link to the brand and model I purchased for it)
***** All Windows 7 & 8 computers are eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade
***** Decent speed, handles multitasking well, including during videoconferencing
***** Function keys can be locked into their alternate settings (This is the default)
***** Windows Easy Transfer makes it easy to transfer files, but won't always transfer settings- had to transfer my email and settings manually. HOWEVER, is not available with Windows 10. If you are simply doing the upgrade, though, your applications and settings will automatically be incorporated, and I've yet to find any of my old applications to be nonfunctional in Windows 10.
***** Numeric keypad & Directional keys. Some laptops have this, some don't. Toshiba has it. Convenient.
***** Peeling off the thin green film around the edges reduces sharpness, but this can be further reduced by making "bumpers" with silicone or rubber tape
***** Battery can be replaced by simply unscrewing the two screws that secure it, quite obvious to the discerning eye and also explained in the manual.
*****Should you have Windows 10 questions, feel free to ask.Read more ›

Excellent for the price, but with compromises
By lithos on May 11, 2015
Operating System: Windows 8 Verified Purchase
This is excellent for the price, but at $500 one must expect compromises. It's got a lot of horsepower, 8 Gb of memory, and a huge hard drive. It even has an optical drive, which has pretty much vanished on newer machines. It's large, though, and can't be expected to compete with tablets or ultra-thins for portability. Since this lives by my couch, that's not an issue for me, and I do have a tablet with keyboard dock for travel. This even has a numerical key pad, which I much appreciate. The compromises are battery life (maybe 6 hours of constant use at best), the screen (the resolution is 1366x768, which is pretty low for such a big laptop, and the contrast is poor unless you tilt it back so much it wants to tip over), and the keyboard, which is very mushy and frankly sucks. It's got an i5 processor, which is very good unless you're a gamer, but it does all I need and does it quickly and well. One reviewer complained that the battery wasn't removable. It's in the usual position in the back of the machine and is held in with two screws, so I'd think it would be easily replaceable. The battery life isn't an issue for me, since as I said it sits next to the couch and the charger, and I can live with the screen. The lousy keyboard is the biggest negative for me and why I knocked off a star. Considering the price point, I'd probably still buy it again.

Heck of a deal.
By Overkill0084 on May 21, 2015
Operating System: Windows 8 Verified Purchase
For the money when purchased ($449 shipped), it has to be one of the best deals going. I've been paying attention and I have yet to see anything come very close aside from refurbs with older processors. Performance is snappy with a processor (Core i5-5200) that benchmarks better than the AMD A6 in the desktop I am replacing with this. Is it equivalent to a $1600 top of the line model? No, of course not, but nothing I've seen at this price point can touch it. Normally at this price point, you are sacrificing much more. This thing comes with a DVD drive as well. Considering how thin it is, that's something of an accomplishment for the money as well. I should point out that I'm not a power user, but I do prefer to err on the side of more processor power vs. less. If for no other reason, you simply get more life out of a more powerful computer. This thing will do fine unless your very demanding.
Negatives?
Constuction - Tuffbook this isn't. the display seem a bit flimsy to the touch as does the case on the bottom. If your a tinkerer, you will need to remove the entire bottom cover to access the memory or the drives, rather than the typical access panels many of us are accustomed to. The flip side of this is that the entire thing is quite light to tote around.
I'll admit to not being a huge fan of the keyboard. It does ok, but my 5 1/2 YO HP laptop has a far better keyboard. Admittedly, it's not terrible, but when docked, I use a proper Logitech. The touch pad, I like the fact that it has the older style buttons still. The newer style "floating" touchpads aren't terrible, I simply prefer the buttons, I'm sure opinions vary on this.
Speakers - not great, but better than I expected considering cost and form factor.Read more ›

Great Laptop For The Price
By David Bennett VINE VOICE on April 30, 2015
Operating System: Windows 8 Verified Purchase
So far, I love this computer. It was ready to go right out of the box with Windows 8.1, and no programs extra to Windows except McAfee Antivirus installed. I uninstalled that and installed AVG because I am not a huge fan of McAfee.

It is a very powerful computer for the price. I was looking for a regular laptop (I don't need touchscreen and/or detachable tablet) with powerful specs, balanced with a good price. With 8 GB of RAM and a TB of hard drive space, this computer fits the bill. Also, a Windows 10 upgrade comes free with this computer, which is a huge plus. It has one USB 3 port, and two USB 2 ports, as well as HDMI out. It also comes with wi-fi, an SD card reader, Bluetooth, and a DVD Burner (it doesn't say anything about Blu-Ray and I don't use them, so someone else will have to say whether it has that capability, but I am guessing it doesn't). It isn't going to have every higher end feature or spec, but it seems to balance price with power well.

The battery life seems strong, and I got about 5 good hours on mine while working it to death installing programs, transferring files on an external hard drive, etc. It is thin and lightweight, but seems sturdy. I can't comment on Toshiba customer service or that aspect of the experience, but I will updated if necessary.

So far, everything is working well. It runs quickly and smoothly. I bought one for my wife and hers has worked perfectly as well.

Overall, for the price, this is an amazing laptop.

EDIT: The one jack for both microphone and headphones is a little annoying. I may have to get a workaround if I want to use headphones and external mic at the same time.
