 Very fast and stays cool! November 26, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been enjoying this laptop a great deal. It has become my primary computer to which I have my monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, router & modem, and printer wired. The only thing I had to add, since it is a primary unit, is a USB hub because my keyboard, mouse, and printer use up the 3 USB ports and I needed 2 more for my external hard drive. If you don't need to plug in all that stuff, no worries.
I am a fan of the Toshiba brand anyway. My husband also has a Toshiba laptop with which we both have been very pleased, and we have other Toshiba electronics all of which have been excellent and durable. This new Toshiba is amazingly fast. Love having the additional memory and very large hard drive since this was charted to become my primary since I killed my desktop a couple weeks ago.
Another amazing thing I am finding is that it stays so cool! I was amazed. When I was setting it up I just had it sitting on one of my wire mesh laptop stands and even after 10 hours of use it was completely cool. That is no exaggeration. My secondary laptop, a Dell, doesn't get hot but it WILL get warm after an hour of use. I've had it sitting on one of those Rolodex mesh stands (those stands rock!) on my desk all week. I keep it turned on all day long, and it still never gets warm. This is encouraging as I think one of the worst things is to happen to a laptop is getting overheated so I was concerned knowing this would become my primary.
The screen is very nice and, since I am not into gaming or anything seriously graphics-intensive, perfectly good...bright and clear. The keyboard is very nice and plenty big. The touch pad and scrolly things are particularly good, in my opinion, because they have great sensitivity (it is adjustable) and I like the textured surface of the pad. It is a LOT nicer than the one on my Dell.
It is a very attractive laptop. The surface is black and glossy. The top of the lid is a lovely, deep blue.
I honestly have no complaints. If I would have wanted anything additional from this unit it would have been more USB ports. I found a really nice Belkin unit to add so it is no problem

First off, deduct one star for Vista. Man, this OS deserves all the bad press it receives. Deduct another star for where the power supply attaches to the notebook, way too close to the drawer of the DVD/CD drive. Aside from these issues, the notebook performs admirably, despite Vista, for those tasks such as web surfing, email and non graphics-critical applications. Out of the box the notebook would see my FIOS router but refused to connect to the internet. After reloading the entire image from the backup disks, I could access the internet. Toshiba tech support suggested the fix and does not advise downgrading to XP since there are driver issues that XP will not be able to resolve. Vista deserves a 2 star deduction but overall this notebook is good value despite its OS. Yes, there are several included apps that you may want to uninstall but that's no big deal.
The notebook can be purchased for much less than the Amazon price so do some Googling if you're interested.
 low quality November 24, 2008

I will never buy a Toshiba again. Problem #1, the laptop heats up very, very, very hot. I have to have a book or thick magazine between the computer and my lap when I am sitting on the couch using the laptop. I have heard that this heat is very bad for the computer in the long run. Problem #2, this is the worst!> The keyboard has lost its sense of touch. I have to press extremely hard on the keys to type an email or a letter. When I speed type an email, I review it and there are many letters missing. Huge pain in the neck to go back and enter the letters that were missed. The keyboard is a piece of junk! I saved a few $$ buying this, what a mistake. Next time I am going with Sony or HP; even a Dell would be better than this Toshiba.

I purchased this Toshiba Satellite L305-S5907 laptop three weeks ago from Amazon and I've been impressed. Amazon shipped my machine quickly via UPS. It was on sale for about 24 hours so I got mine for $579 with no tax, and shipping was included. This is the best price I've found on a laptop with these specs. The Toshiba is fast, quiet, two pounds lighter than my 7 year old Dell, and looks great. I've had no troubles with Vista Premium working with this machine. My only complaints are the glare on the glossy screen, if you're outside, and the glossy plastic case, which looks good, but shows fingerprints easily. I don't play alot of games on my computer and this is certainly not a gaming machine with a separate graphics card. I have a Wii for that. It also isn't a television with a Blu Ray player and 17" widescreen. I have a LCD TV for that. The 15.4" widescreen is perfect for my use and looks great. You could spend $1200 for an entry level Mac but it would have much less memory, a smaller hard drive and just another Intel processor. In my opinion Mac's aren't worth the $600 premium just to look cool.
You can't go wrong with the Toshiba.

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5907 15.4-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)
FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE OWNED A DESKTOP. I FINALLY DECIDED IN DOING SOME RESEARCH TO EDUCATE MYSELF ABOUT LAPTOPS AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER. IN DOING SO, I FOUND THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT THROUGH AMAZON.COM. BEING A FIRST TIME BUYER OF A LAPTOP COMP, I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE PRICE AND SPECS OF A SUCH PRODUCT. THUS, I CHECKED MANY RETAIL STORES AND FOUND AMAZON.COM SAVED ME ABOUT $200. CUST SERVICE WITH AMAZON WAS A VERY DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE (WE ALL KNOW CUST SCE IS USUALLY A NIGHTMARE). I MUST REALLY SAY, AMAZON.COM WAS ABSOLUTELY INSTRUMENTAL IN ASSISTING ME WITH ALL MY QUESTIONS AND PURCHASE. ONE MORE THING, AMAZON INFORMED ME UPON MY PURCHASE, MY COMP'S ARRIVAL WILL TAKE ABOUT 7-10 DYS, WELL LET ME TELL YOU, I RECD THE PRODUCT VIA UPS IN 3 DYS. THANK YOU AMAZON. I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TO MY FRIENDS AND CONTINUE DOING BUSINESS WITH AMAZON.
