Toshiba Satellite A75-S213 15.4" Notebook PC (Intel Pentium 4 Processor (HT), 1024 MB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Dbl Layer Drive) review:
4 stars (Keeps Me Happy) - This Laptop is solid.



I haven't had many issues yet so I haven't had to deal with their customer support - who has decent support anyway? The thing works like a charm, though. While at times I may have issues with one of my user setups, that can solely be blamed on...Tada, Microsoft! The speaker levels do leave something to be desired, but it is what it is, a laptop and not a sound system.



Another issue I've had so far is the left click button loosening up! Other than that the thing is great! I've got kids, a dog, and everything a busy house has and it's held true to the test.



I would recommend Toshiba over a Sony any day of the week.
2 stars (Decent Laptop, Lousy Customer Support) - This laptop arrived with the wireless networking not functioning properly. And that began my frustrating experience with Toshiba's less than stellar customer support.



The laptop itself was great. Looked great, ran great(except for the wireless). The regular network cable worked perfect. The screen is beautiful. The speakers are a bit quiet, a little more than other laptops I have seen. I love the blue cover.



With 3 little kids, I needed the wireless to be able to move to quiet areas to work. So, the next day I called their customer support. They had me check a few settings and said that I needed to upgrade the firmware on my router. So I did, and it still wasn't working(although my husband's wireless connection was). So I called back, and when I mentioned something about putting XP Pro on my machine the man told me he could no longer help me because I voided my warranty by putting a new operating system on *MY* laptop!!!! To say I was burning with anger with the force of a million suns was putting it mildly. So after I hung up, I calmed down and called back, the first customer service agent I spoke to was less than concerned about what was going on. The next woman however, was an angel. She verified for me that I hadn't voided my warranty, and gave me the number for the Corporate office so that I could try and get it resolved. Corporate wasn't helpful. The man argued with me telling me that Toshiba would help me fix my problem, and I finally had to yell at him that the man told me point blank that he would no longer help me because I put XP Pro on the machine. He finally relented and gave me the number for a service center about an hour from me. Those people were fantastic, and told me I could go to them directly for my laptop service instead of calling the support line.



Buyer beware, good laptop overall but don't get it if there is no service center near you and you'll have to call their "tech support".
