Summary: "the only thing more unreliable than the product, is the customer service that comes with it..or doesn't"
Comment: If you're reading this review right now, then chances are you want to make sure you are making the right choice.
Let me assure you, if you're planning on purchasing a Toshiba laptop, you are not.
Please, google "toshiba laptop complaints" and get the REAL reviews.
As for my input...
this is a conversation that took place in an authorized toshiba shipping store:
me: "Man, let me tell you something... NEVER buy a Toshiba laptop."
clerk: "With the ammount of them that we ship back every month, I never would."
..just in case you were wondering how many laptops this authorized postal service receives from customer and ships out for repair every month - "..about 30" is the answer that I got
Good luck.

Summary: NEVER BUY A PRODUCT WITH VISTA
Comment: The computer should be fast, but compared to a old laptop with a pentium 3 running XP it is a dog. The pentium 3 run circles around it and the Toshiba has not had any applications installed and is right out of the box.
Never buy any product with Microsoft Vista.

Summary: Great Laptop
Comment: The laptop is really nice. It has 64-bit AMD processors, which I feel work faster that Intel chips (from my own experience). It would be near perfect if not for the awful Vista OS. Vista is simply awful for me to use until I performed numerous tweaks that turned off most of its so-called improvements. Once I disabled most of Vista's "improvements" the laptop's speed really screamed upwards dramatically. A new Vista user should google the web for Vista speed tweaks--I found 10 on one site and more on others. Since I use my own firewall, a secure proxy, several spyware catchers, etc., I don't use Windows defender or any of the other new garbage that Microsoft put in Vista. The laptop would be absolutely wonderful had it come with XP (a far superior OS to Vista IMHO).

Summary: get what you pay for
Comment: I bought this about 3 months ago for $550. At first I thought I had found a great deal but found out a few problems with time. First of all the cd-rom wont read the dvds I put in it. I know its not the dvds fault because my old dell laptop reads them just fine. Secondly, the battery life is much worse than expected. One of the reasons I got a new laptop was because my old one's battery life had become so poor over the years. This Toshiba is brand new and it barely gets over an hour of battery life. If you're like me than you don't really ever use the cd-rom nowadays anyway and most of the time I'm near an outlet so I still gave it three stars because those really are the only problems. However I would not recommend buying it at the currently inflated price.
