Good while it lasted.

Pros Does everything, can handle games and DVR functionality.
Cons Hardware is unreliable, LCD quality is below average, hard drive died, optical drive died.
Recommended it? No

The P15-S479 was appealing to me because it could do everything what with the media center software installed. And for the most part, that was true. With a simple RAM upgrade it could take on a lot of tasks - including many games such as Half Life 2.

Unfortunately the first thing that... Read full review »

Workhorse, but has needed repairs

Pros Pentium4 HT, Large LCD, MultiDrive DVD +/- RW.
Cons Hard drive overheats to failure, DVD reportedly prone to failure.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my S479 in March of 2004 at a Best Buy, and got the extended warranty (because of a different manufacturer's notebook monitor shooting craps on me). Well, 2 1/2 years later the S479 is still spec'd out as a pretty fast machine. I have upgraded the RAM from 512Mb to 2Gb. I'm also on my... Read full review »

Pros Price, reliability, screen.
Cons Speed seems a bit slow and it is a bit heavy.
Recommended it? Yes

I couldn't have asked for a better system at the price I paid for this machine over three years ago. The only major issue that I've had to this point is that I had to re-install Windows XP...but that is hardly a Toshiba P15-S479 issue.

PROs:
Price, reliability, screen...and I've had... Read full review »

Pros Speed, reliability, features, ease of use
Cons Weight and battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

I just recently purchased the Toshiba P15 laptop. I looked around at a number of different companies, the features, prices, and consulted with a number of computer-saavy people. I have never owned a laptop before, so I have no previous experience with these devices. Though, some would say I could... Read full review »

Disappointed by Toshiba Quality

Pros screen
Cons big quality issues over time
Recommended it? No

I purchased two of these computers for work. The screen was beautiful and feature set nice. In the past I had trusted Toshiba for quality. After a year, things began to break on both of them. Not just one. Currently only one still works and the CD ROM drive is inoperable. Buyer beware. Toshiba is... Read full review »

Great Computer/Media Center

bycksquonk May 6, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros -Windows Media Center interface -Built-in wireless and DVD burner
Cons -At 8 pounds not very portable -Video jumpy when sent to PC screen and TV
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted a Windows XP Media Center computer to use with my home theater but didn't want to have a bulky desktop in my living room. After seeing the Satellite P15 as a Mobile Computing Magazine Editor's Choice and doing some other research, I decided to give it a try. I liked the size of the Toshiba... Read full review »
