Strengths: Fast Processor. Nice Screen. Fingerprint Reader.
Weaknesses: 1GB Memory.(Should have at least 2GB) No Extended Battery Produced For This Model.
Summary: I have been really pleased with this laptop. I was able to get it at a great price. I was looking at the Dell XPS 1330, but for almost half the price I went with this Toshiba instead. I AM GLAD I DID. It is really light-weight as well. The screen is amazing. Overall I would give this Toshiba 4 out of 5 stars.

Strengths: Compact design, small screen, very light, nice features
Weaknesses: Windows Vista
Summary: Its a nice machine. Great processing power, enough hard disk capacity for all my needs. Very light and portable for my mobile needs. Speaker volume is excellent (better than my Sony Vaio FRV 26). I do not like windows vista, its irritating. System was easy to use right out of the box. I got it for under $700 which makes it a great buy.

It also come with a finger print reader, which was not very easy to use, but its optional so its not a problem. Headphone and speaker jack are in front for easy use.

I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who wants a compact useful machine.

Strengths: Very compact, light and powerful, Fingerprint access.
Weaknesses: Built-in speakers were small and under-powered
Summary: Having been a long-time consumer of Toshiba's laptops, this is one of my favorite. It is very light, very fast and came with a suprising amount of useful applications. The laptop also includes a recovery CD, AS WELL AS A COPY OF WINDOWS VISTA. This allows you to wipe the machine clean, install only windows and then download the pieces of software you want from the Toshiba website(which I highly recommend for best performance). Most other manufacturers DO NOT do this and I praise Toshiba for the effort.

3 Star ReviewCute Laptop
Strengths: very portable, fast processor, beautiful screen
Weaknesses: a little bit thick
Summary: Overall, this is a very good laptop. You can take it to anywhere. It comes with a fast Core 2 Duo processor, but if you need to run the program more quickly, you should upgrade the memory to 2GB. Fortunately, it is very easy to upgrade.
