I received this laptop on September. One month later the screen start with serious problems (data flex according with the technical support). Also, the wifi antenna is very weak, several problems to have good reception being a few meters of the router. Internet navigation very slow even with good wifi signal. I hope Toshiba can replace for a new one laptop.
please include 3D enables software or tools. overall i satisfied on this productI only just received this laptop 2 days ago but I have set up the 3d capability (very easy to do) and used it to watch Avengers in 3D as well as play Guild Wars 2 in 3D and let me tell you, this is an exceptional mobile multimedia device for the money ($780 from Beach Camera). Only time will tell about its longevity but in my extensive experience with desktop, laptop and handheld computing devices I know that one of the most important contributors to a laptop's reliable life-span is how well it vents heat in order to stay cool. Aside from the more obvious forms of abuse, heat damage will significantly reduce the life of a laptop's components and I am very pleased to say that this machine remained shockingly cool when placed on a smooth flat surface even after playing Guild Wars 2 in 3D for about 20 mins. Playing video games in 3D will likely be the most demanding task the average computer user or even gamer can put on a computer so this is quite a feat.
Other points of interest:
-It's main vent on the left side does put out quite a bit of heat as does the power adapter.
-Its frame, though made of plastic, still feels solid and not too cheap and keeps it at a very comfortable weight.
-Track pad can be turned off and on easily.
-The hard drive has a shock sensor that will temporarily pause reading/writing when it detects potentially damaging levels of vibration. This an uncommon feature on budget laptops but a very nice one to have as it will likely increase the life of the hard drive significantly.
-2.0 Harmon-Kardon speakers sound amazing for a laptop. This is coming from a self proclaimed audiophile. I was perfectly content with the sound quality while watching Avengers.
-The Nvidia 3D vision glasses that are included are top quality and very comfortable. I've already ordered a second pair from a seller on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005963JTY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
-Though the screen is not 1080p, which seems counter intuitive to the 3D feature, I've found it perfectly sufficient. I don't believe the high resolution will make much if any difference with a screen this size. Lower resolution also vastly improves performance in video games so its a trade off that I've found more beneficial in this case.
-The viewing angle for the screen IS very limited. Should you wish to purchase addition glasses as I have, I don't believe that you can reasonably sit more than 2 people snuggly in front of the screen at a comfortable distance. So if you're looking for a 3D experience for the whole family to enjoy at the same time, this is not it.
-GW2 will definitely play well at mid to high graphics settings in 2D. The frame rate drops down considerably in 3D but is still manageable even in LA and WvW. I will likely stick to 2D with higher quality graphics in most cases but I recommend at least testing the stereoscopic 3D in various games just for the thrill of it.
All in all, if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive outlet to 3D media that will also cover the rest of your mobile computing needs, this is it. I scoured Amazon and the rest of the web for endless hours to compare a vast range of laptops and features and, at least at this point, I've found no other laptop with a blu-ray player, 3D capability, and sufficient specs to play the freshest online games for under $1400. Even without the 3D, I'd consider this a great laptop for the price.
