+ I really like this Toshiba laptop. Its very convenient for me as its light and compact and has all the right features, inbuilt cam e.t.c.

- I don't think its battery life is all that great, as I have to charge it every hour or so, but I guess thats the case with all the latest technology these days.

Colin, Netherseal, Derbyshire

+ Have not tested the battery life yet. Starts up quickly. Quiet. Clear display. Switches between Windows quickly. No major problems.

- Taking forever to get used to the locations of the PGUP/DN and END keys, but that's probably just me. Also touchpads drive me nuts as being so easy to trigger unwanted actions, but again that's a personal thing and I have not explored the Synaptics settings,
