Graham, Rotherham , “silver surfer allways learning”
Score 10.0/10+ Fast processor clear graphics on the 17" inch screen sounds good overhaul a first class lap top
- The only bad point for me is the power socket and at least 2 USB ports should be positioned on the back of the computer

Score 9.0/10+ Relatively light for its size (17"). Good performance and battery life. Have used Toshiba in the past, but very pleased with my choice
- None so far.

Score 8.0/10+ sound, ease of use, screen. Unfortunately I haven't tested the performance yet...
- battery life.

Score 5.0/10+ Large screen, good battery, runs reasonably cool.
- Power supply is molten hot, mouse pad keeps failing and needs reset, took ages to get the wifi connection to remain stable. Having a numpad takes a while to get used to on a laptop.

Mihai, Worcester , “Music, gaming or video fan” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Good design, acceptable battery life, very good speakers, perfect keyboard, very good touchpad and good performance for no-gamers.
- Not good for games, very slow performance on graphic demading applications due to the Nvidia 9200M GE GPU, CUDA Driver cannot be installed because the graphics adapter's name suffix is GE instead of the original Nvidia one, GS.

Score 9.0/10+ great graphics for games e.g. WoW! big screen, easy to use, would buy again defo!
- battery life a bit poor but for 17" screen it does the job fine

Simon, Bristol
Score 8.0/10+ Seems to work very well (no problems as of yet). Fast processor (I'm glad I went for a faster processor than I would have got had a I chosen something with 4gb RAM -rather than 3). RAM seems totally adequate for my purposes: I use a music editing/creating programs a lot and they have worked without any problems thus far. Neat design with nothing too fancy. Very big screen.
- The battery doesn't last that long (about 2-3 hrs) but I was expecting a lot worse after my previous laptop! ...and it's pretty decent for the money I spent.
