This laptop is beautiful and light weight and loaded with right features. Except one fatal flaw: the touchpad is impossible to use. Its very difficult to press the right/left click button and they are badly positioned. Can’t believe that Toshiba didn’t even put it to a human test before selling!

cons:
very bad cam. even you do not recognize yourself!
bad/very low sound. as described by someone, you can increase it by equalizer settings but you do not need it for other laptops.

I’ve owned this unit for one week. Overall, it is good. However, the battery life is only 4.5 hours(Wi-Fi and office word), not Toshiba announced over 9 hours.

First off please note that this laptop does NOT have a 56k modem; despite being advertised as such. If you require a modem, you will have to buy an external one to go with it. I tried to update the product description; but was unable to update the part that makes that claim.
This is a great and powerful laptop for the price… and the battery life is absolutely amazing! I can actually believe the 9 hours it boasts; I used it unplugged for over 4 hours; while having the screen turned completely bright and everything running at full power; and it still showed it as having over an hour left. With the screen dimmed and some of the other power-saving features turned on, 9 hours definitely seems realistic.
As others have said, the track-pad is quite poorly designed and difficult to use; but that’s hardly a deal-breaker… it still works; and it’s easier to use a mouse anyway. The built-in webcam seemed to be of poor quality as well. But as a whole, this is a great system.

Firstly, definitely fix your sound setup as per JMesa’s descrition.
[Also, JMesa, the units of power are Watts (W) not Volts (V), but
your numbers are otherwise correct.]
The quite miserable Touchpad response can be fixed in the following
manner. But please note that doing this will also lose the zoom and
rotate capability built into the as delivered Touchpad driver. I do
computer graphics and the tradoff of a far more usable Touchpad with
no rotate and zoom was well worth the switch. Perform the following
selections:
Start
Control Panel
Hardware and Sound
Device Manager (under Devices and Printers)
Mice and Other Pointing Devices
OK, from here on I cannot provide the exact names because having
already done this change the names are no longer available in the
menues for viewing.
Select the Touchpad and then the Touchpad Driver and then Delete it.
You will receive a warning but continue with the deletion. Then you
will have to reboot one or more times as Windows 7 detects the lack
of a Touchpad driver and simply installs its own driver. The Windows
7 Touchpad driver is more user friendly than what Toshiba provided,
but it does lack the rotate and zoom that very few would use anyway.
I bought this laptop for my spouse and she likes it after I fixed the
sound and Touchpad. It does have a really long operating time on the
battery when you set it up for minimal power usage.
