Love the colour and design, very sleek and sopisticated. Super fast, provised eveyrthing you could possibly want in a laptop, superb quality
-
If you charge the battery to its fullest when you first get t, then have it portable and let the battery run down, this is the best way to maximise battery power. Having it plugged in all the time can lower the battery lifetime i have heard, from others.

I liked the design, and I normally like Toshiba. Keys are good and screen and resolution want bad either.
-
It kept turning itself off and rebooting. When I tried to get on the net it yet again turned itself off. Screen went blank on several occasions and I lost all my work I was dealing with. Not impressed.

Doesn't let you know when the battery is running low, just switches itself off and you don't have time to plug it in to the power supply.

I have only used this via the mains so I can not comment on the battery performance. However I have had no problems with this model and the keyboard is very fast to use with soft keys.

No hot key for internet access, you have to click the internet explorer icon instead.

Bought to use also whilst travelling and a bit heavier than ideal for that. Battery life also not as long as advised in the spec so need a power socket or back up battery for any length of journey.
