Saturday August the 7th we went into our local Best Buy to purchase a laptop computer. They had a Toshiba for $599 and both Len and I thought it to be an excellent deal. We were reading the literature about it, and it stated that the offer finished that day. A young salesman came up to us and we... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive, very good performer.
Cons Weak battery, heavy, not enough RAM on base configuration - fix that, you're home...
Recommended it? Yes

Although this is not a current new model any longer, it is still a great buy on eBay for about $250 (as of April 2007). Still strong enough to do anything you need with a proven XP OS rather than the hassle of Vista and lack of compatible drivers and software.

I have had the PC for about... Read full review »

Laptop was $700 new from Circuit City. A guy I work with had his Toshiba forever and always praised them.

Pros low price, good combo of features
Cons WAY TOO LITTLE MEMORY. Plan to buy more.

Me & my partner have had a number of Toshiba laptops over the years so I felt fairly confident when I saw this one on sale ($750 after rebates, august 2004). I quickly started using it in my work as a freelance writer/researcher, and found I liked a lot of its features. The screen was bright, the... Read full review »

Like the previous reviewer, we bought our Toshiba Satellite A65 in August 2004. It worked fine for the next few months, but by April 2005, it was overheating and shutting down frequently during CD burning, importing of songs, or multi-tasking. Since then, it has continued to overheat and shut down... Read full review »

Pros Good price, reliable.
Cons Weak battery, not enough RAM.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had mine for two years now, my warranty just expired and all I used it for was a new battery. I have had no trouble with this machine at all.

I've read comments about overheating and shutting down, which I experienced also, but found that a good cleaning dislodged some serious dust... Read full review »

I purchased this laptop in August 2004 at Best Buy, where they were offering a great deal. I was relatively happy with it until early 2005, when it started overheating.
