Bought this for my wife in 2011 for Christmas great package deal( Laptop, Sleave, mouse,and pad and memory upgrade to 8GB) all matching. She was looking for an upgrade from her HP mini netbook so she could watch movies.

She loves it. With the 640 GB hard drive lots of space for all her fav music and pics(100GB currently) with plenty of space left over and no issues with this machine.

Great laptop for the money and only one tiny scratch above the keyboard, otherwise it looked brand new. It runs cool, it's quiet, and it was easy to set up and start using. Another quality product from HP.

Review of REFURBISHED-Toshiba Satellite PSAT6U-005002 A505-S6005 Notebook PC

I got this computer after my 3rd Gateway died. My Dad recommended it to me after he bought one. I researched it and asked a couple of Toshiba owners that I know and took the plunge.

I love how fast it is. Multitasking is a breeze because of the i3 Dual Core processor and I love the look (although the fingerprints show up if you look at it too hard lol). I love the large hard drive and the speakers are the best laptop speakers that I've ever heard. It is also one of the quietest computers I've ever had.

I wish that the keyboard was a little quieter (it sort of clacks when you type) and I wish that the finish on the keyboard was different. I do love the offset numbers keypad, makes life a little easier.

This computer also has HDMI with CEC and I have yet figured out how to use it but it makes me feel better knowing that it's there lol. I would like to try Netflix or something on it in the future.

The webcam and mic are a little shabby but I don't plan on using it much so no big deal. The multitouch pad is boarderless which is great and has the finger zoom feature. I like being able to instantly zoom when I need to.

Overall, I love this computer. It has great specs for the price and is even a great starter computer. Having Windows 7 makes it a little more user friendly (I was powered up and surfing the net within ten minutes). I have recommended it to anyone who will listen!

I really like this computer even though I am new to Windows 7. I love the sound system so much better than my Sony Vaio. I like the screen size but its a little heavy due to the battery. Overall I think I will be very satisfied with this model. Consumer reports gave it a good rating for this screen size and overall Toshiba has the lowest repair rate also according to consumer reports. The missing star in my rating is just because its heavier than I am used to.

I had one difficulty and that was my old wireless router wasn't allowing this computer onto the network. It was found, but it couldn't connect. I recommend you call the manufacturer of the router because I had to download a newer driver so it could work. It cost me $98 but Toshiba couldn't have solved this problem for me.

This seller was a good seller and I recommend them. I received the computer faster than I had expected. And it was in its original factory sealed box, well packed in another box.

Have had this laptop for going on 9 months now. Bought it for $600 on a Best Buy holiday deal. Awesome product for the money even at $789.

This is my 6th laptop since 2001 and it's my favorite so far. I'm not a big fan of long posts so here it is:

PROS

Very long battery life

Excellent HD screen quality

The Harmon Kardon speakers are loud and crisp. Best sound I've heard from a mid-range laptop

Number pad on a laptop keyboard & overall good use of space for the keyboard.

Cool looking backlit LEDs that are flush some might find weird but I love it.

Didn't come with a bunch of crappy manufacturer software.

CONS

Big battery life = big battery. The battery actually puts the laptop on a slant, which again I like, but some may not. The only time I've found it annoying is when I use a slanted lap desk with it (double slant).

The touchpad/mousepad is to the left of the laptop. It's centered over the keyboard because of the number pad to the right. It took some time to get used to and I used to always touch it accidentally when typing causing some typos. After awhile I bought a wireless mouse anyway and turned the touchpad off.

My husband and I traded our terrible Asus i3 320gb laptop for this one. It's an all around great computer. We go to youtube, facebook, hotmail, our universities website to do schoolwork, we've installed the Microsoft Office Suite, and Adobe and it's still faster then our Dell and Asus. Highly recommend this laptop.

The S6005 has many good featureslong battery run time, hdmi port, sata port, legible keys. Good performance. The bad side is the display: 1366 x 768. You run out of vertical space really fast at that resolution. Think I'm a wimp? You try it, tough guy. Also, it's impossible to position the display such that the screen has consistent brightness top to bottom, unless you're 5 to 6 feet away. Meaning when you use it, it will be dark on he top and light on the bottom. That display has an extreme vertical angular brightness dependency. I checked this with Powerpoint with a constant color background in slide show mode, which covers the entire screen. For white, yellow and red, the screen is perfectno vertical brightness difference. With dark blue, it's a joke. Midnight blue on top, with washed-out hazy sky blue on the bottom. Sucks if you're trying to show something to someone that involves blue and the hue matters. Like a movie maybe. Or a chart. Or a picture. With lighter blue, green, orange, and purple, the defect is there, although not as pronounced as with dark blue. My friend's 2005-era 15.6" Toshiba laptop doesn't show this defect, the resolution seems better, and the screen just looks a whole lot better. Why did Toshiba cheap-out the display? Not to save money or anything, I'm sure. Too bad.

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews regarding the deceptiveness of some outfits in this case Tiger in selling refurbished items as new. I felt that it was important, however, to review the product and not the vendor. I've used the D610 professionally with great success for several years. I was so pleased with its performance that I bought one for my personal use as well as two more for my in-laws. I bought all three as refurbs but I knew what I was getting and the price was unbeatable at approximately $250.00 each. If you're a wannabe geek such as I am, you can easily find all of the service literature necessary to service the D610 yourself. I've never had to service any of the three that I bought, but I did expand the memory in all of them. I was pleased with how easy the upgrade was, how well engineered the product is, and how clear the service literature is as well. I bought a hard drive caddy and an additional 80GB HD to fit in the CD port, so now I have 2 bootable HDs and a ton of storage. If forced to search for a negative, the only thing I can come up with is the click action of the pointing device. The feel is a bit stiff and the sound is somewhat irritating. That said, if the pointing device ever became bothersome enough a USB mouse could be purchased for a couple of bucks. I was looking for another D610 to buy for my wife when I stumbled upon these reviews so I felt compelled to put in my two cents worth. Good luck with whatever product you choose!

I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second "refurbished" CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says "XP Corporate" which means it was covered under a mass/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($100) and re-install.

Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified "Genuine Windows XP". I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run "Genuine Advantage" to check the authenticity I confidently thought "sure, go right ahead."

BEWARE!

I can hardly say enough good about my purchase of a used Dell Latitude D610 laptop from Tampa Laptops through Amazon.com. The machine arrived two days after I placed the order, it was exactly as advertised, worked perfectly and was priced right. I wanted to introduce my wife to the digital world, both of us being advanced in years, and to have a machine to teach her on that operated just like my desktop with XP. This laptop is perfect for that purpose and the transaction was completely painless. Thanks to Amazon for the Tampa Laptop contact and the security of purchase that Aamzon provides.

Honest reviews on Dell Latitude D610 Notebook PC (Intel Pentium M 1.86GHz, Windows XP

Laptop was very hot after about 20 minutes of use, almost too hot to touch mouse pad and bottom of laptop, due to a faulty/defective battery. I was afraid it was going to catch on fire; it got so hot laptop would shut down. Finally, after a few days, battery just quit charging, etc. Took the battery completely out and laptop works fine. So, now I have a "desktop" until I purchase a new battery, which is not so good because I do Medical Transcription on the go. Make sure if you purchase that you add into you budget for a new battery because I don't think they guarantee them, though my slip said battery was in good working condition, and they do not replace batteries.

This older laptop arrived with a replaced E key, and a small spot of fingernail polish barely noticeable.. Other than those minor flaws, this laptop was more than I expected. More hard drive space than advertised, more ports than I thought would fit on a laptop and it even has a burner, not just a player and it works perfectly. The first time I turned it on,it immediately found my wi-fi and it's been a joy to work with since. It's made my Inspiron 1501 look like a piece of junk.

I bought from perfectbuy_perfectsell who responded to my email immediately and offered a 14 day return policy.

This review is about the product I purchased from KMM5086 Amazon Marketplace

I bought two of these machines from Best Buy last year so I knew what to expect. The seller said it was only being sold as used because it was an open box; otherwise, it hadn't actually been used. For the price, even if it showed some wear, I would have been happy; but when it arrived, it looked exactly the way the other units did when I brought them home from Best Buy last year.

Evidently, the seller must have turned it on before shipping it because Windows 7 was updated as of Oct 1, the day it shipped. I thought that was a very nice touch that saved us a lot of time.

I bought this unit for my Daughter-in-law to play games like Diablo III on along with my son, who got one of the two identical units last year. After firing it up and getting the two updates recently released by Microsoft; and uninstalling a couple of things, we installed Diablo III and she was playing it when I left.

I was a bit leery at first, with him being a new seller on Amazon but the description and price overrode my skepticism and I am very glad that it did. The other thing that worried me a tad was that there was no mention of where it was coming from; but once it shipped, FedEx let me know it was coming from FL. (I think he might mention the location of products he sells in the future.)

I also paid for expedited shipping which said I would get the laptop in 4-6 days. It shipped Monday and arrived on Thursday. It doesn't get much better than that!

I will be upgrading its memory this weekend, which will give me an opportunity to look inside the case a little bit. I do not anticipate any problems on that score. Again, everything looked brand new and pristine, as advertised.

I am complete satisfied with this purchase at this time; and I would buy from this seller again without hesitation.

This computer should last for a long time since it runs very cool. I've never had a laptop that ran this cool. I used to have another brand laptop that ran so hot--and the fans whirred so loud--that you could barely enjoy a movie playing on it even while wearing full-size, noise-cancelling headphones. Needless to say, that laptop had a very short lifespan--three years, then another 1.5 years after repair. This Asus, by comparison, is impressively cool-running. This is a very important feature to have in a laptop if you expect longevity! Heat kills internal computer components! I could not believe it the first time I used it. Its very low-heat operation is very atypical for a laptop computer in my experience. I've seen some desktop computers that run hotter than this! I mean, even after many, many hours of use you can barely feel any heat on the surface of this computer even near the fan vents.

This computer has a generous-for-the-$449.00-price 2.2GHz i3 Intel dual-core CPU with integrated graphics, 6GB of RAM (upgradeable to 8GB), 500GB hard-drive, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, a memory card slot, an HDMI 1.4a port to connect to your home theater system, a dual-purpose headphone/microphone jack, CD/DVD drive for accommodating DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW (including dual-layer discs) as well as CD-R/-RW, a non-touch 720p HD 17.3-inch screen, and keyboard w/numeric keypad. It lacks an IEEE-1394 (DV-link, also called i-link) port (something I was used to on some other computers I had/still do have), but this is not a deal-breaker since there are obviously tons of ways to import audio/video onto your computer!

Oh yeah, this computer is Windows 8 (basic version; not the Pro version, so no Windows Media Center). As for those who do not like Windows 8; all I can say is I personally have no issues with this operating system. I upgraded a Sony VAIO all-in-one desktop to Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Home Premium and I love it as well. But for what it's worth, I still have a fondness for Vista (another controversial Windows OS I personally had no issues with) and Windows 7 just as I do for Windows 8.

Although this Asus laptop does not have a Blu-ray Disc (BD) drive, I can confirm that its internal hardware will indeed accommodate the playback and recording of BDs if you have an external BD drive/burner. I have Corel WinDVD Pro 11 installed on this computer for BD and DVD movie playback and it has no issues. I have Sony Vegas/DVD Architect software installed for editing and burning of DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. For video editing and burning/recording, it has no issues there either. There is some Asus software preinstalled on this computer. The quick boot-up feature Asus has on this computer could be handy for some users, but I personally like to shut down completely after each and every use. So I have no use for this feature (which does not work when booting up from a complete shutdown).

I bought an external Asus BD/DVD/CD drive (read/write) back in 2011. This was my first Asus product. It has always served me well. This is what made me think of purchasing an Asus computer in 2013. It is proving to be a quality performer. The plastic that the unit is made of is not as robust as my last (much hotter-running) laptop, but just treat it right and you'll be fine. Also, go light on the keyboard with your fingers. It seems like there's a lot of give (fragility) in the keyboard. Again, as before, just treat it right and you'll be fine. Alternatively, you could simply use a USB keyboard or a wireless keyboard with this laptop (at least when you're using this laptop at home).

The bottom line is this: For the price, this laptop has some power to it and some great hardware and software features. Once you adjust this computer to your preferred settings and install the software YOU want on this computer, you can truly make it your own!! For this price, yes, I would recommend it to anyone! Oh yeah, and definitely double the fun by getting yourself an external Asus Blu-ray Disc drive to use with this computer!!

I ordered this laptop because of its legacy hardware ( serial ports, LPT ports, USB ports, and above all else, Windows xp pro)the purchase / checkout offered 2nd day delivery, yet took over 1 week to arriveAfter arriving, inspecting the laptop, it was carefully wrapped, no visible damage was present.

After putting everything together, plugging in the power cord, i get an error message that no hard drive is present, i go into the bios, and to my amazement, its still locked with a password, that no one knows-i pulled the Hard drive module out, and inspect everything, i find that the mini IDE header is missing a pin,

i emailed the seller this issue, he sends out another hard drivea week goes by, and it finally arrives, i opened the package, and notice, it does not have the replacement header that i need to make the hard drive work.

Frustrated, i get back on amazon, and search for this header adaptor, lo and behold, for 1.72 each, i buy 5 just to have them around in case i decide to buy another hard drive from these sellers that do not check everything fully.

If i had been an everyday normal 'joe-the-consumer', this would have been a disasterous exchange. i gave a low rating because, when you sell something, regardless what it looks like, it should be functional before you ship, (tested, and tried)

I purchased my D810 with windows XP refurbished from Tampa Laptops.

It is a good solid machine. The screen appears to be wider. It is a heavier machine. I notice it on those times when I need to carry it a ways. Not alot but more than some other computers. It has a very solid cabinet. Nice sized keyboard is easy to type on. Once in a while the keyboard gets warm. My battery on this used one is running around 3-1/2 hours on a charge which I consider fine. The battery of course varries on used machines due to it's condition. But this tells you that a good battery runs for a good length of time. I like the machine. I am runing lots of older vintage software like the great Lotus stuff, etc and wanted to upgrade computers but not throw out all my software that won't run on the newer Windows Systems. This was a great purchase at a nice price.

I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.

My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.

When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

Since I got this computer I always had had problems with it because the display froze and had to restart the pc in order to use it. After endless calls to sony they were not able to help and even they ended my chat sessions more than once in the middle of the conversation.

Plus I never got to use the bluetooth because it just did not worked. I reinstalled all registries, software, tried using an external bluetooth and nothing. Since new, I have never used bluetooth. Sony could not solve the problem.

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST SONY PC. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PC.

I bought this pc about three and a half years ago, and I love it! The battery is messed up now and won't hold a charge, but I blame myself for leaving it on while charging on sleep mode.

It's more for those people who are getting their first or second pc, but do not be fooled. I edit videos and play games and the pc is still running like it did back when I first bought it (more or less).

Having the bluetooth feature is great if you know how to use it, and the video card is pretty decent for the price comparing todays standards. I bought this pc for $899 back in 09, and looking at the price here, it's a VERY good deal. Definitely recommend. The people who say that they "Hate Sony" and "will never buy Sony again" are just people who don't know how to take care of their things. Take care of this PC, and it will serve you very well.

This is actually a response to the 1st review, I copy and pasted it because I thought this deserved a 2nd opinion.

I bought the exact same model for my daughter, and did have a problem with it heating up too much, but got a letter in the mail telling me to download new BIOS, which I did and it runs nice and cool.

As far as the "pointer" jumping around. I understand what you may have run into. The "cursor" is sensitive to shortcuts, which sometimes happen when your fingers are resting, ever so slightly, on one key (say ALT) and you hit another, causing something completely unexpected to happen. This is solved two ways, A. By being more careful, and getting used to the keyboard. B. By going into the keyboard sensitivity adjustment, and making it less sensitive.

This laptop is far more advanced than any other on the market, which is why so many have these little quirks with it. I have no reason to stick up for SONY other than the fact that I really love SONY VAIO, so much so that I bought another model the VPCEA24FN which also plays Blu-Rays and can record Blu-Ray, as I'm into high end video.

My daughter is a gamer and anime artist, she has no problem with it. I had a Mac Book Pro also during this time and returned it after a month because I found it slower than the SONY. Maybe in a laboratory it isn't, but for me typing something on GOOGLE and waiting up to 30 seconds watching the bar fill up until it loaded wasn't fun. I returned the Mac Book Pro and got another SONY VAIO. This was after having 3 HP's that crapped out a month after the warranty was up.

Maybe the SONY VAIO line isn't for everybody, but I see people who are in the entertainment business using them, and also a few of my doctors I see for neurology also have them. To each their own. Perhaps you got one that just needed some tweaking. That's what someone said about the MacBook Pro that I returned.

I bought this laptop in June 2011. About 1 month after receiving the laptop the screen would go black for no reason and the keyboard would phantomly type. Attributing the problems with the screen to the laptops age I made no attempt to fix it since it was still useable by adjusting the brightness. Unfortunately about 1 week ago the screen totally went black. So I took it to the apple store to get either the invertor cable or lcd screen or both replaced. In doing so apple called me back 2 days after dropping it off to tell me that someone had spilled significant amounts of liquid on the laptop and they wont touch it without sending it to their repair department for no less than $750, more than the laptop is even worth. Unfortunately the laptop totally crapped out after the date that I could get amazon to file a guaranteed A-Z claim.

So thanks for lying about selling me a damaged laptop that you obviously ruined and sold before the damage was obvious to me the sap who was totally taken by you. I advise that no one trust this crappy person and I rely on Karma to pay you back for the $500+ you stole from me.

WOW...what a great Mac. It replaces my aging G4 PowerBook. It is faster, lighter, has a larger screen, and does everything I could want. And the cost was half of a new one. Kudos to Instant Replay Electronics. Prompt delivery, great product, and good price. No one could expect more.

So this product works so well. Since this Black Macbook came out in late 2006 at a staggering price of $1600 I have wanted it and never got around to buying it up until they stopped making it. Then this year I decided to try and get a refurbished version as I already bought a refurbished Ibook G4 for my mother earlier in January 2012 which works wonderfully for her. I am so pleased I did. Although the seller I bought this from had 100% positive reviews, I was thinking I might end up being that one person who has a problem with them, especially since the shipping was not as fast as it was described by many(came day before the last day it was estimated to arrive). I am so glad I ignored all my fears and bought it. It works so so well and came with so many surprises from the seller that I wasnt expecting and feel so blessed that I received them. I mean, as a designer, who wouldnt love to buy a laptop with the entire CS5.5 Suite AND Final Cut Pro installed in? So far it hasnt been a month but the black Macbook works well. Its been upgraded to Mountain Lion OS so I am able to do my work at warp speed. It has Face Time installed although I am yet to use it. My only issue was I know the 2.4Ghz Macs have the illuminated keyboard but this one doesnt seem to do that :(. If I can figure out a way to make that happen I will be in 7th heaven. Highly recommend this refurbished product for anyone who cant afford a Mac Pro at the moment but still want to be able to achieve great things on a reasonably fast system.

Didn't buy it here. Aside from being a little on the heavy side and having a really touchy mouse pad this computer is pretty good. Fast processor, nice screen and keyboard. Took it with me on vacation and had no problem connecting to WiFi any where it was available. Windows 8 is terrible but that's not the fault of the computer, would recomend Lenovo over Dell anyday. Have not had to contact Tech support for anything yet so that remains to be seen.

We liked this notebook until after about 5 months the battery died. Could only buy the battery at ASUS (Amazon does not carry it). It cost $120. Now 7 months later, the battery died again and I just spent another $120. This is getting real expensive really fast. The ASUS support guy did not really seemed surprise about the short battery lifespan.

Nice computer, fast.

Has an issue with headphone jack but will get that replaced locally for a few bucks because otherwise good.

I was not sure of the condition of the laptop while ordering. But when it arrived, I was happy to see the laptop. It was brand new as I ordered refurbished. It also came preloaded with Windows 7, which was not mentioned on the web. I think it should have been mentioned. Thank you

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5308 15.6" Laptop Reviews

I cannot leave a five star, but for < $500 it was my preferred choice. This computer will sell between $450 and $650(do some online research). My main choices of CPU were I5, A6 in that order. Compared the Toshiba side by side for mechanical features at an electronics store. Initial dislike of Toshiba was the touch mouse pad. It has become more smooth with additional usage. While lowering or closing the top of the laptops, Asus and Gateway went into hibernate mode before the screen was halfway closed. The Toshiba would go into hibernate mode when lowered 90% of the way(the wife likes you to show some respect by closing the laptop). The keyboard touch is excellent, smooth, and quiet. The screen is great with color and clarity. The video itself is good for 4Gb Ram, but high end gamers will not agree with the graphics(they usually do custom computers). I can spend $20 to expand it to 6GB(search the internet and you will find a good deal on memory). My main concern so far is the disk drive. There is a sensor and timer in the electronics that performs a check exactly every 10 minutes(it is a medium click sound,and lasts 2 seconds). This noise does not occur when playing a DVD movie, and movie glitches did not occur). I still need to try the HDMI port to check a feature larger screen(another feature I liked when looking, and I saw the feature on another PC in the store). The graphite color and surface does not show smudges or fingerprints. The mouse buttons are loud, and may not be good while your wife is sleeping(but wait). There is a button in the center just below the space bar, that will allow you to disable the touch pad features so that you can use a mouse (your choice). Three USB ports with average distances apart. The audio and mic jacks are on the side of the laptop. And the final feature is the AC plug. It looks like Toshiba is trying to address the problems consumers have had in the past(including me). But, considering the past problems of the AC/Jack, and the noise of the DVD drive, I still want to keep this computer.

It came on time, and works OK.

Toshiba Satellites seem to have a much better long-term track record than many of the other laptops, so I went with this. For the small difference in price, it was well worth going with the i5 processor (over the i3). Not so sure it would have been worth going to an i7. Maybe a little bulky to carry around all day, but it's worth it for the pluses of the 15"+ screen and full size keyboard.

Has everything you NEED, and a few things that you probably WANT. Not a dream machine, but definitely a workhorse.

Good value.

Honest reviews on Toshiba Satellite L755-S5308 15.6" Laptop

I purchased this laptop at Best buy. Exactly 13 months after purchase, its parts started failing one after the other. I have already replaced the display panel, had to find alternatives for a defunct audio out jack, unreliable DVD drive and am facing overheating problems. It seems to be an inexpensive product but the cost of getting it repaired after a year or so is a real nightmare. Warranty extension is a must. Thats the only way to shield yourself from problems you will face after one year or so after purchase... due to its poor build quality. Buying this was a big mistake. Will stay away from Toshiba products in the future.
