Nigel , Newton Abbot

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Excellent screen, massive hard drive, Harman / Kardon speakers (enough said), good graphics card and Duo Core 2 processor. Desktop replacement at notebook price. Also, as everyone seems to make everthing with a USB socket, the six, yes six, on this machine are invaluable.
Bad points:: Weight. Very heavy, but more of a desktop replacement than a fully portable notebook. I use the Toshiba at home and take a smaller, less powerful notebook to work.
Battery life. Ver poor, one and a half hours if you're lucky, but again I don't use it away from a power supply so it's not a problem for me.

Claire, Cheshire

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Screen is gorgeous and large to work on. Very clear. A decent keyboard to work on - comfortable to type. A great product but not for being on the move a lot (It is too heavy unless you have got a laptop trolley case). I love my laptop and I would recommend this to other buyers, depending on their personal needs.
Bad points:: The space bar doesn't always register the space when doing lots of typing. This is frustrating as have to go back and re-put in the spaces.
