What a nice computer,
I was going to buy an Apple iPad 2. The price was more than $1000.00 with tax. I have always been an Apple person and my other computers and devices are Apple. However, when it says Apple, it should also have a $ sign in front of it. I wanted something that was lighter than my MacBook Pro. I wanted an inexpensive computer to take to Starbucks and other wifi enabled places where I didn’t always have to worry about taking my eyes off of it. The MacBook Pro cost over $4400. Yes, it is a better computer, but it should be. Its keyboard is lighted and the lighting is automatic and variable. It is faster, but one would expect these things paying this much. I will not notice the speed difference because I will not use Photoshop on the Toshiba. I will stream Netflix, get Kindle books, Amazon movies, run iTunes and still have the functionality of an actual computer. This Toshiba will be all that I really need.
The Toshiba cost much less than half the price of the iPad2 and does far more. No, it doesn’t have a touch screen, but it does have a hard drive, a DVD player/burner, HD (720) screen, HDMI output, three USB ports, etc. It has an AMD quad 4 processor (2.3 GHz) that is more than twice as fast as Apple’s A5 1 GHz processor. It also has an additional graphics card, which means that when streaming a movie, the main processor is not doing all of the work – it has help. The Toshiba L755 is light and appears to be well made. It also came with Microsoft Office, which I upgraded to the full version, Norton Utilities for 30 days, which I will upgrade to the maximum term (I think that it is three years). This computer really flies. Before I retired I used Windows 95 and last used XP. Thankfully, I missed Vista. I am very impressed with the strides in the PC world. I believe that one can pay a lot more for a computer, yet not get any significant performance difference. My purchase decision was made because Amazon is a great company that really stands behind its products. I have heard internet horror tales, but never any with Amazon. With no offense, this unit is very Mac like in that much of its operation is so intuitive. I’ll get around to reading the instructions soon.

|Outstanding Gaming and Productivity Laptop,
I was in the market for a gaming laptop and not willing to shell out $1,600 for alienware or other high end machines. In addiiton, I did a little reseach online and found out that the i-core processors are more expensive than the quadcores with little differences in speed with the current software on the market. I searched the shelves of staples, bestbuy and sam’s club. All these stores had machines with this capacity over $600. I looked at what amazon had to offer and I made up my mind and purchased this laptop after reading thre review by Rats make great pets “Steve”. I have 6 toshiba laptops to include a netbook and tablet pc. I belive Toshiba makes the best inexpensive functioning laptops with decent online product support. I was looking for an inexpensive gaming laptop to play Dragon Age Origins, Starcraft II, Witcher and Witcher 2. In addition, I want to play some of the old RPGs in my collection like Startcraft, Diabolo, Warcraft III, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nigths with maximum settings. Currently I installed a fresh copy of Titan Quest and the graphics and lightging are amazing. The hard drive is only 5600 rpms and it shows. I will be upgrading the hard drive to a 7600 1TB capacity in the near future and adding 4 GB RAM for a richer gaming experience for a total of 8 GB of RAM. I love the bright screen and the keyboard feels natural and very compfortable. The mousepad is great for swiping functions. The sound is amazingly loud and had to turn it down to quarter the volume for normal hearing. I haven’t found any cons with this machine yet and very happy with my purchase. In today’s graphic intensive envrionment, this laptop will suffice for the next 2-3 years. Thanks for the detalied review Steve.

|Good laptop good price,
For the price you can’t go wrong ! Now for a little details: The AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon HD 6520G Graphics at 2.3 GHz, 4MB Cache , basically the speed and efficiency of this processor ranks somewhere in between an INTEL core i3 and INTEL core i5-2510M closer to i5 than i3 . Running your basic word processing, web browsing (with multiple tabs open) spread sheets etc, you will never tell the difference between AMD and INTEL , now INTEL sandy bridge core i processors are generally faster at cpu intensive applications like video trans-coding and 3D rendering (most people don’t do unassisted video trans-coding and 3d rendering if you do I suggest you go for an INTEL core i5 or i7 processor) where the AMD stands out is in its graphics performance it wont run the latest games at high settings but it does a good job (the quad core and better integrated graphics helps) look at Ramanspec Jerry’s review for more detail on gaming performance . Battery life is very good as advertised 5hrs . Build quality is good not the best I have seen and touched but sturdy and battery secured properly, I won’t comment on the aesthetics cause that’s based on user preference/taste . Simply put if you are looking for an inexpensive laptop with good battery life that can do what most users could throw at it with good performance and want to fire up a game now and then, for the price, this laptop can’t be beat .
