Screen is just amazingly bright and beautiful when turned up how I like it!! Sound is loud and clear!! Keyboard is superb... Fan makes no real noise!! Fast as hell with a core I3... Two usb 3 ports in front. All the other important ports are there too. There is no Bluetooth but who cares? Not me.. This is simply a fantastic wonderful laptop. I always install Start8 software for 5 lousy bucks to turn windows 8 into a joy.

Got exactly what I paid for, for ~400$ this laptop isn't a bad buy, definitely not for gaming but for web browsing and taking notes/ making presentations for college it's served me very well. The uptick on the i3 processor (3120M, up from 3110M in other models) was worth the 10-20$ difference in price.

Pros: Fast on boot up, very sleek looking, the keyboard feels pretty good for a laptop and it even comes with a number-pad, and as someone who uses the number-pad a lot this is great as more and more laptops are just leaving them out to save either on space or increase key size. Also, the DVI and HDMI out ports are very convenient for when I'm in a situation that doesn't require me to be mobile. The trackpad is actually pretty good, I've read a lot of hate on this model because of the trackpad, and despite being non-multitouch (which most laptops are not) it functions very well. Sound is actually fairly good for a laptop, speakers can get pretty loud, but the sound on the laptop itself is on-par, if not better, than my desktop on-board audio (H61M-P35 G3). On top of that they also have a reserved partition for all the laptop drivers, some people might not like this as it's just more work for them to be getting the full amount of HDD space they paid for, but I find it useful in-case I ever need to reinstall windows whenever my linux partition starts giving me issues.

Cons: These are all personal gripes I have, might not be the products fault but I think it warrants a few comments.

The finish is very glossy, while this looks nice aesthetically, after about a day of use you're going to have fingerprint marks all over the laptop.

Bloatware ho!: This laptop comes with a decent amount of extra crap (lenovo cam manager, something called "freeridegames," McAfee anti virus, Amazon store app built in (might be from win8 though). I understand manufacturers want to make some more money by marketing, but as a consumer I don't like having to remove all the extra crap included, especially if they boot up on start. Easy fix with 20min of uninstalling and checking to make sure you're not uninstalling some obscure driver (this happened to me as i had never heard of Aetheros Communications, so i figured it was a VoIP service and uninstalled, turns out it was the wireless card driver, not a big issue as they included drivers in a separate partition on the hard drive.

Windows 8 is pretty awful, but that's not the products fault.

Camera isn't the best quality, but it works fine for skype-ing.

Uncategorized:

For me this is a pro, but for others it might be a con, the battery life @ 100% is about 6 or so hours, that being on the "balanced" power setting in windows, you can squeeze out more if you use Linux (such as arch or ubuntu) but i imagine that's not much help to the average user.

All the outputs are on the back. Awkward. When you tip it forward to plug something in, the damn power button on the FRONT turns the laptop off. Brilliant. And, good luck finding the power button. The DVD is also hard to find.

Other than that, it works fine.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 16-Inch Laptop (Fusion X2 Finish in Review

Customer Ratings:

Though I've had a netbook, this is my first laptop.

I, too, purchased it at my local yellow and black signed brick and mortar big box store.

I couldn't be happier with it.

Pros -

Excellent LED backlit display;

Full size keyboard with 10-keypad;

Very good 802.11b/g/n wireless reception;

Great speakers;

Both RGB (VGA) and HDMI video outputs;

Toshiba's support website;

X2 finish is fairly fingerprint resistant;

Battery life of 4+ hours at full brightness.

Cons -

No bluray or bluetooth, but in this price range, it's no big deal;

I've heard the built-in web-cam isn't the best;

As others have noted, the battery will not last as long as advertised, but I've been able to get over 4 hours at full brightness.

After about a month, I did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional.

Before doing so, easily found all the drivers and Toshiba software at their very good support website.

Though I still use my desktop for any gaming or heavy graphics, this laptop is great for everything mobile.

All in all, it's an excellent first laptop.

Let me start things off by saying this thing is FAST. I got it as a desktop replacement for my aging HP Media Center, which tended to give off too much heat in the summer. The A665 doesn't disappoint. In fact, it's actually faster than my HP (Core 2 Duo). And it gives off less heat. ;)

PROS:

* Fast, fast, fast, and plenty of RAM. Running multiple programs or using Firefox with a dozen tabs open at once isn't a problem; Photoshop isn't a problem; video editing is a breeze; 1080p video plays flawlessly.

* Beautiful, large, vibrant screen. Crisp and clear. Hinges are firm on the lid.

* 7200 RPM hard drive is wickedly fast.

* Speakers are excellent for a laptop, as long as you set the laptop on a flat, hard surface. There's even noticeable bass response that has to be heard to be believed.

* Keyboard is superb. Despite the laptop's overall flimsy feel, the chiclet style keys feel firm, give great feedback, and the num pad is slightly offset from the main keys, making mis-types unlikely. The keys themselves are glossy (ie, fingerprint magnets), but otherwise it's an utter delight to type on.

* Battery life rocks. 6-8 hours depending on whether or not wireless is enabled.

CONS:

* Overall build quality tends toward the flimsy. There's a lot of flex in the laptop lid, making me wonder just how easy it would be to damage the LCD. Pressing on the palm rests also reveals more flex than I'm comfortable with.

* The sucker is big and, thanks to the hefty battery, heavy. Not the best choice if you're looking for something to truck to school or work each day. (However, this isn't an issue for me because it's a desktop replacement I don't take it anywhere.)

* Under Linux, the touch-sensitive buttons at the top of the keyboard don't light up.

* Optical drive is somewhat slow when copying data from DVDs, and tends to speed up / slow down a lot when burning DVDs.

* Screen flickers randomly when running on battery power. Again, not too much of an issue for me since I use the A665 at home, but worrisome should I need to take it on the road.

Despite the flimsy feel and potential screen flicker issues, this bad boy has performed impeccably during everyday use, video editing projects, and watching 1080p video. EXCELLENT desktop replacement!

I just purchased this exact laptop at Best Buy for $300 less than listed here. So far it doesn't disappoint. Very fast. Sharp graphics on screen. I purchased this for school, and I know it will be a great computer for my use which is internet usage, online classes and document creation. I hope I am one of the lucky ones that gets advertised battery usage, as this is the feature that won me over. I like the textured surface, as it doesn't show fingerprints like some of the smooth surface laptops.

Good idea to use them, was here 2hours getting everything done and answering questions. Computer is perfect for my use, basically email, internet etc. Does not have blu ray capability, no biggie to me, never bought one to view yet. So far, this is just what I expected and I am very happy with it. I can always add software if needed.

I can't get into specifics on this computer, because I am at Best Buy right now (01/10/11) and this model (Toshiba Model:A665-S6086) is going for $599.99 and all the specs are the same as this model. When I saw the price and compared it to the price here at Amazon I almost fell over. No, I do not work for Best Buy, I'm an independent accountant and work for myself so you don't have to worry about any bias in this review. Shop around. I'm going to be walking out of here in less than 10 minutes with this baby and I'll be getting it for $600 plus tax. Something for all of you to consider and I thought I would do my good deed for the day and "pay it forward." By the way, I shop Amazon all the time, mostly MP3 downloads, but I do love this site. I just wanted to point out that you don't have to empty your wallet on this model if you just shop around. Happy shopping everybody. Peace!

DELL LATITUDE C640 2.0GHZ 512MB 20GB DVD WIFI XP PRO LAPTOP Review

Customer Ratings:

The dell computer I recieved was in very good condition although it has a minor scratch it is nothing to be upset about. With my initial order my restore CD was not included and the power cord had a small short..but I must say I would definately purchase from this company again, They quickly resolved any issues I had they even expressed me a new power cord and my restore cd to make it right..Again definately I would recommend purchasing from this company again.

The laptop was purchased for only one reason to run the DryFire USA Trap program. The unit works really good. Because it is a reconditioned unit, I found that the battery would not fully recharge. Bought a new battery from batteries&butter for $64.00. It is a top notch unit now. This should be the only problem that you should have.

It was delivered before the time indicated by UPS. Oh yes, you do not get a manual with the unit, but you can download the manual at the Dell site.

I purchased this laptop from Walmart, not Amazon, for $278.00, smoking price.

I never really buy computers because I usually build my own. Since you can't build your own laptop at $278.00

I had to give this one a shot. Needed a laptop just in case my desk top took a dump.

All the bad stuff everyone is saying about this is true, but once I reconfigured the operating system it works great,

the wifi is working fine, even for an old G router I am using.

It took about 4 minutes to boot up and had about 10 icons next to the clock loading up all kinds of garbage.

After reconfiguring the system it now takes less than a minute to boot and has only 5 icons loaded up.

Manufacturers have no clue when configuring Windows OS's, MORONS really.

Do yourself a favor when buying any computer from an Acer, HP, Dell or whoever, re-do the OS and you'll have

a completely different system, for the better.

Out of the box I couldn't be further than 10 ft away from the router for this to connect to the wifi. I went to Acer's website and downloaded all the updates. I could then be further away from the router, but I kept losing the connection even though the signal was excellent. Three days after I bought it, I returned it.

Bought this for my granddaughter at walmart and she had nothing but problems with internet connection. She took it back and exchanged it thinking it was faulty then she called tech support when the same problem happened and they really did nothing. This lap top is not worth the money it took to make it! If you are looking for a good laptop dish out the extra $50-$100 for a higher quality one.

Review of Acer C710-2055 11.6-Inch Chromebook (Iron Gray)

Customer Ratings:

I have never written a review before, due to the fact i have never felt the need to. This is a great supplemental computer. I not sure I would have it for my only computer for now but i can see it becoming one in the near future after some needed upgrades (Skype for one). If it had Skype it would be the perfect computer for deployed military members. I have been deployed multiply times so when i say that i want you to know where i am coming from. It is quick and exceptional for travel. People complained about the weight but that complaint carries no weight. 4 1/2 stars is what it deserves but that's not a choice. I would recommend to other computer users who like to explore new IT solutions. Acer is the way to go with this....not the other choices.

Your instinct is to compare it to a Windows PC but this is a new internet device which is 100% cloud based. Its also a Google product machine yet it runs thousands of apps one of which is MS Office 365 which is cloud based if you must have complete compatibility with MS Office files. Security is a strong point since no Win malware can infect this new OS and you don't need anti virus at all.

The display on the Acer is better than the slicker looking Samsung but it also has a VGA port not just a HDMI which means you can create a desktop by porting your current vga monitor, usb mouse and keyboard; it also has a ethernet port not just WiFi. The 2GB memory version is very fast so this 4GB will allow even more tabs to be open and responsive. The 6 cell battery makes it competitive with Samsung version and runs Netflix with no flicker at all. It has 3 usbs which work well with flash, SD, usb HD and optical too but for mostly read only. Unlike Win it does not slow down with use and is being improved ever few months with new functions for free. The remote control Chrome app is great for networking with a Win PC if you must gain access to programs or data remote. Printing requires either a Google cloud based printer (I got an Epson wf-3520; does Apple airprint too and dual side scanning...all for $110..awesome) or a Win PC acting as a print server with legacy printers or you can print as a PDF and then port them with a flash drive to a Win based printer. If you get the $200 version you can buy a $50 6 cell battery from acer to get the extra endurance. If you want a full size screen than look at the HP version.

Update.....Acer recently replaced the HD with a 16G SSD for the 2MB versions which means it boots as fast as the

Samsung now and now they have done the same for the 4G HD version here; if boot speed is your thing then take a look at that model too.

Overall this is a great choice for any public use PC and for students of all flavors due to price and function........the more people get used to this OS the more they will like it since its the PC we should have had day one not the kludge MS created for us all...............

Best Deals for Acer C710-2055 11.6-Inch Chromebook (Iron Gray)

I love Chromebook and I love the Acer C7; see my big review at Acer C710-2833 Chromebook or Acer C7 C710-2847 Chromebook.

However, *this* Acer C7 version is not the Chromebook for most users. Most users should get the Acer C710-2833 Chromebook for $199 instead. There are three changes in this Acer C710-2055: (1) 2GB extra memory for a total of 4GB; (2) a 6-hour battery instead of a 4-hour battery; and (3) a 320GB spinning hard drive instead of a 16GB SSD. Don't let the sizes fool you, the spinning hard drive is a significant downgrade in performance, and a larger hard drive offers little benefit on Chromebook for most users.

$80 is not a bad price for 2GB memory and a longer-life battery. But the hard drive is a downgrade. One of the best things about the Acer C7 is that it's upgradeable, so you could buy the $199 machine and upgrade the memory and battery yourself. (At present, March 2013, Acer C7 users mostly seem to get an after-market longer-life battery from a third-party supplier named CDW.) It would probably end up around $80 for an after-market upgrade too, so if you're sure you want the extra memory and battery life, this $280 one would be a reasonable choice; but for most users, I'd still advise against it because of the slow spinning hard drive.

Honest reviews on Acer C710-2055 11.6-Inch Chromebook (Iron Gray)

I bought this as an experiment, to some extent, although having downloaded ChromeOS to fiddle with over a year ago, I knew about what to expect. But I'd never used it exclusively on a dedicated machine. I'm very pleasantly surprised.

*The OS: Am learning more all the time, but have found it to be very useful once I resigned myself to using mainly Google Docs, which I had resisted up to now. It was a good thing to learn, because my misconceptions about its limits proved to be pretty much unfounded. Part of this machine's role will be as a travel laptop that will need to access company documents sometimes, and I now know that while I might not be doing heavy editing or writing a new SMS manual in Google Docs it will work for what I do need it to do. I also like the speed of the OS, both starting up and on the web.

The more I learn about ChromeOS, the better I'm liking it. There is a learning curve, but it's pretty easy. There is also a fun factor. I look forward to continuing updates and improvements, which will come to the machine in free, effortless updates nothing to keep track of. Freedom from malware is huge, too. Given what I intend to use it for, thumbs-up on the OS.

*The Hardware: I had tempered my expectations for the Acer, based on its low price I told myself not to expect too much refinement. But it's quite nice, really, if a little plain-vanilla looking; I've ordered a skin to jazz it up a bit. Quality seems good, fit & finish are fine, it's solid, I even like the keyboard. The screen is good, and bright enough for outdoor use I sit and work on the porch at home a lot. Battery life is as advertised about 6 hours. So no complaints about the hardware.

One reason I wanted the Acer instead of the Samsung is that I thought I might put ChrUbuntu on it, for the full OS and apps and the Acer, with its 320GB HDD, has ample room for the extra OS. It also uses an X86 processor, so it will run standard apps like LibreOffice unlike the ARM-based Chromebooks. I still might install ChrUbuntu, though I want to sound the depths of ChromeOS first. But even if I don't put the full OS on, I think the extra HDD room will come handy, as I'd like to keep large DrobBox and Google Drive folders on the laptop for off-line access.

Another thing I like about the Acer's construction is that HDD, memory and battery are replaceable or upgradeable. I like the idea that when SSDs get cheaper, for example, I could swap one in for a performance increase.

This is a good little laptop with surprising quality and speed at a very low price. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

I love this little giant of a Netbook. I have a Kindle Fire HD-7 but found the fonts to small. Being in my late 50's and vision being being a real issue. I found the Chrome book the best value for the buck. If all you need is a good Netbook for bill paying, web browsing and basic use then this will be just fine. Having the ability to use Wifi and ethernet is excellent. The Chrome OS does not need any Virus protection and upgrades itself and you never really know it.It comes with a larger battery than the C710-2487, but has a "baby bump" on the bottom that adds a little more weight. A batt charger also comes with the book. The only two items I would suggest is the Case Logic 10-11.6 sleeve cover and a Mouse (easier to use than the finger pad). Its ready to rock when you open the lid.!! Don't wast your money on laptops that have more bells and whistles that you really don't need.

I bought this laptop here, on Amazon, and everything about the purchase process was great. It actually arrived a day earlier than estimated, so no complaints there. I was able to connect it to internet right away. I like the whole appearance, it's a very good looking laptop. The keyboard feels very nice and the touchscreen is very responsive. The computer is fast enough for what I do, which isn't much though. I check my emails, read some newspapers, a little bit of Facebook and sometimes watch a TV show or a movie. I also use Skype to keep in touch with my family. Which brings me to the reason I only gave it 3 stars: the internet drops off sometimes and I know it's the computer, not the actual internet. It doesn't last long, only for a minute or so, but it's enough to interrupt my calls. It's really very annoying especially considering that you pay almost $200 more than you would pay for a different brand.

Super slim, efficient power usage, and Windows 8 is (mostly) a great operating system. I have 0 complaints about this notebook besides the few issues I have with Windows 8. (However, I still view Windows 8 as an improvement over Windows 7 overall).

A word of warning for the media user; the speakers are very quiet, and even at the highest volume, watching shows on it can sometimes be hard to hear. I use my iPod station as speakers, so this isn't an issue for me, but it's worth mentioning.

I truly don't know how you can find a better laptop for the price. I've now had this for 6+ months and purchased it in a store for $459.00. In my opinion, the keyboard isn't as bad as people have suggested. I sometimes have to repunch a button when typing but half of it is because of off-center fingertip placement on the keys. This laptop is FAST! I used Windows XP before and was reluctant to use the Windows Vista preloaded on the machine, however, I'm pleasantly surprised of the ease of use of Vista.

Pros: Speed of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor

16:9 screen

HDMI connection

Multimedia control on the console

Aesthetically beautiful machine

Cons: Battery sucks (lucky to get thru a movie without dying) even with battery saving setting in Vista

Only has 1.3Mega pixel webcam (better than nothing though)

Review of Apple MacBook MB062B/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (OLD VERSION)

Customer Ratings:

When I first went to buy this, I though to myself, "It's an old version, so I might have to return it." I was way off! This is very fast and responsive. I figured 120GB wasn't a lot, but apparently, at this price, it's very rare! Mine did have a scratch or two, but the old tooth paste method fixed that up fine!

I love this laptop. I have always been a windows user but I got an iPad and when I became partially disabled and could no longer sit at a desktop and had to get a laptop I decided to try a mac, I am lovin it. It took a bit of getting used to but it's great. It has everything I need for my homemade crocheted gifts business.

I knew I wanted an Apple Mac for my creative husband but didn't want the expense that goes with it. I was extremely pleased with the refurbished model that was fully loaded and purchased through Amazon. My husband is pleased, enjoying all of the features of a Mac and I feel I got a bargain! Thank you so much!

I purchased this computer because my macbook pro was stolen in march. it was a great price and i love it..it works pretty much exactly like how my macbook pro worked. the only issue i had was that sometimes the charger that came with the computer would not charge the computer. because of this, i had to buy a new one for 80 dollars at the apple store. however, everything else worked great and i recieved my computer 2 days after i ordered it!

Reviews of Toshiba Satellite C875-S7303 Laptop (Intel Core i3-3110M, 2.4GHZ

Customer Ratings:

Toshiba laptops in my opinion continue to have problem with their hinges. There was a previous class action brought against Toshiba for this problem. We bought a Satellite C875-S7303, less than a year ago, and the hinge broke. Sent in for warranty repair, and they refused saying it was not a warranty problem. They want over $100 to fix it. Really? The lap top was used like a desktop, and one day when opening it, the hinge cracked. Sounds like they still use cheap plastic hinges. I won't buy another Toshiba laptop again. Don't waste your money.

its a nice laptop i think, i have had almost 6 months now and no problems, the core i3 performs very well for a dual core processor,

the only shortcomings i found were the the somewhat delicate case, and the very weak intel hd4000 graphics, however i am able to play most games out today on the more modest settings, all in all, i am happy for now and its great for someone on a small budget that likes games.

...not even 4 months, Touchpad mouse just stopped working. Go to Toshiba site, forums indicate this is a typical problem. Shortly after owning, java updates, Windows updates, etc. required as per normal use of any computer. However, this Win 8 OS gags on the java update (had to a system restore to 'undo' the most recent version of Java that flagged as necessary update). Same with Windows updates after updating security patches, etc. my computer started freezing, hanging, operating very slowly. HP printer cannot work with this Win 8 system or Firefox browser.

This laptop was 350 at BestBuy over the holidays no longer being sold by Toshiba or retail stores. I owned another Toshiba Satellite purchased about 6 years ago that I still use and rely heavily on. I wanted this one to use as a backup and updated version. Bad move. I also hate Windows 8. It is so 'intuitive' that it takes several extra steps to navigate what I want and bypass the flipping screens and access charms, etc. I hate it because one cannot establish settings to the level other windows products allowed and seems incredibly more limiting toward users who would bypass some of the forced settings to establish their own. I know people hated Windows XP when it came out and it remains one of the most popular, functional OS out there and is still supported as a result -but I'm just frustrated that basic stuff like java, printer drivers, adobe flash, etc. all knot-up this particular computer. I'm frustrated that the mousepad crapped out at 4 months and windows updates have now crapped out the CDDVD driver. I can do a hard reset, but after the 5th time in under 2 years, it's a pain to have to resort to that to regain the use of the drivers this system is supposed to provide. I will avoid the Win8 issue going forward as I plan to become an Apple customer. Anything that was good with Toshiba is offset by Windows 8.

Toshiba has been very good to me over the years with their $300-$350 range computers. I don't use it for too much but internet surfing and Word documents. This model was very disappointing however from the moment I touched the keyboard and felt its flimsiness. I am disappointed that Toshiba would make something so crappy to type on that it would actually miss letters as you type. I can only imagine what it will do as it gets older. Everything is still working 4 months later but I don't expect much when I see that they cheaped out on something so fundamental as the keyboard.

I think that Win8 system should be pre-installed. Because it's indeed a troublesome work for customers to do by themselves.

Order came in a timely manner. Bought the computer for my son. He seems very pleased with it. It's much better than the Asus he had before. Keyboard is nice and touch pad is great, compared with the old Asus. Only had it for a week, so far, so good.

I'm a tried and true believer in the ThinkPad line of notebooks. This one does not disappoint. The wireless connection was a little flaky, but after a driver update, all was fine. I would recommend that your first stop is System Update to make sure you're using the latest drivers.

No major failures yet but the shortcomings of this model (T530 2359, Win 7, 320GB 7200rpm) are almost too numerous to list. Based on my 15+ years of PC user experience, I find the laptop somewhat missing both in hardware design and in performance. Lenovo's bloatware and customer service are also far from flawless for instance, important limitations of the model and manufacturer's international warranty do not appear even in "small print" but rather require extensive searching in dedicated forums, etc.

I ordered the T530 from Lenovo USA mainly because of the optional HD matte display (1600x900 or full HD). If that is not a must, you would probably find a better deal from brands like ASUS or at least another series by Lenovo.

N.B.For all practical purposes the optional discrete graphics card in T530 is useless.
