I purchased this Toshiba laptop for my niece’s high school graduation. Her mother my sister said the set up was fast and she has not been off the machine for the past 3 weeks. it looks like a good computer for a college bound student. john f

I was very dissapointed that the battery life was not as advertised. It was advertised in all the stores to have a battery life of 8 hours. When I called Toshiba, They said they were not responsible for that advertisement. After fully charging the battery I get a little over 5 hours of battery life instead of 8 hours. When I told the toshiba representative I wanted to return the product and get my money back he said he would have somebody call me to arrange this. He took down my number but nobody ever called.

Frankly I am disappointed, this Toshiba Satellite m505 runs much slower than the other 3 year old laptop that I own of a different brand. In fact the other laptop has a slower processor speed and just 2GB of memory. The reason why I was attracted to this one was due to your claim that the battery will last up 8 hrs, and that is not exactly true. I noticed at full charge it may perform well for just 2 hours. Could it be I have a defective battery? Sad to say no bluetooth. On the other hand the sound system and a lighted keyboard are a plus.

I got this in 2 days time no hassle. First let me say that it looks great but it is a real fingerprint magnet. the gloss just makes you look like you’ve just eaten and put your greasy finger all over it. Nothing a cloth can’t fix. Thinking about getting a skin and that will solve all the problems. It works like a charm now that I’ve gotten rid of all the bloatware.
Cons: When I first got it, all I got was this mind numbing static, so loud it made the dogs howl. However, after uninstalling all sound drivers, rebooting and then letting windows install new ones, all problems solved. Tech help is a bust but hey, that’s why there’s genius like mine! maybe I should apply for the job there! JUst a thought. Despite the bumps, I recommend this machine. It’s cool, light (despite the 12cell battery) and just pretty to look at. I’m still testing out the battery life so I can’t say if it lives up to the hype as yet. Meets my needs….

I did a lot of research on different brands and configurations. I was all set to buy a Toshiba (with an ugly chasis) for its functionality at a big box store when I came to Amazon. This laptop had all the configurations I was looking for at the same price. My only complaint is that I wish it had more usb ports and built in blue tooth. But I added a usb blue tooth dongle and it works fine (other than tying up one of my limited usb ports). The biggest feature for me was that it came standard with a 12 cell battery. Lifts up the back just slightly but actually makes the unit easier to type on because of the angle.
Fast shipping, secure packing, and overall great value for the money I spent. Thanks!
