Okay, so I am one of those people that is EXTREMELY nervous when buying expensive things. The computer, happily, turned out to be a fantastic deal for what I got. The computer, most importantly is quick, don't worry, the first time you turn it on it may seem slow, but that is because it has a lot to set up, it only gets faster and faster. It came pre-loaded with google chrome and internet explorer pinned to the bar. As well as Toshiba Book Place and Toshiba App place. Both are pretty cool tools. It also comes with Microsoft 2010 Trial Program; I already bought Microsoft 2010, so I just typed in the product key. The key board is pretty cool, the keys are now back lit, but the mouse pad has a pretty bright light, as well as the lights above the keyboard (system control panel). It is a Windows 7 computer, has intel CORE i5, is energy star approved (energy friendly and shuts down to sleep to conserve engery. very nice. It is very asthetically please, which its chrome/black like finish. It has a premium sound system, and it sounds surprisingly good. It also has a very nice resolution and video quality. There are 4 USB slots (one of which is USB 3.0 sleep and charge), I like that. OH and a side note whenever you move the computer, a notification (which can be turned off) pops up saying that the hardrive has been moved to "safeplace" while it is being moved around too much. Cool feature, in case you are being to rough with it to prevent damage to the hardrive. There is also a security lock slot, a DC-IN, Optical disc drive, Microphone/Line-In jack, Headphone jack, Cooling Vents, RGB Port, Network Port, and HDMI Out Port. I really like that there is a seperate number pad off to the side, that happily, does not take away from the good size of the keyboard. It comes with a 1 year standard warranty by toshiba and a $10 dollar eMusic card (around 20 songs). I am really glad I got this computer, very nice, fast, easy to set up and understand. I recommend this to anyone looking for a great laptop for their money. Feel free to ask any questions, I WILL ANSWER :)
Buy Toshiba Satellite P755-S5380 15.6-Inch LED Laptop - Fusion X2 Finish in Platinum Now
When my Dell Inspiron died, I used my husband's Toshiba S655 for a few days and realized how much I'd been missing. Amazon's offer of 12 monthly payments without interest charge enabled me to talk my husband into letting me order this one, and it arrived today. Setup was super easy, download of my current antivirus program and other things I needed to install went without a hitch, this thing is awesome!!!Should I experience any problems down the road I will add comments, and I'll add an update as I get more familiar with the machine. But so far, so GREAT! And it hasn't gotten hot at all after several hours of work on it already, whereas the heavy Dell always needed a fan underneath and still blew hot air.
This laptop is a lot of bang for the buck, go for it!I once was a big fan of Toshiba and its customer service. Not after my last two laptops. We bought this laptop for our son. Five months after the purchase, the operating system just shut down. I used a Linux startup disk to get to the hard drive to grab copies of his summer term papers. But the Toshiba rescue disks would not boot up -even though the Linux disk did. So Toshiba charged me $25 to ship the laptop to their repair facility. The repair facility tells me that the operating system is corrupt and that is not covered by the warranty. So they wanted another $25 to reinstall the operating system. And I am almost 100 percent sure this crash was NOT caused by a virus or spyware. I used to work someplace that cloned hard drives for our computers, and often the clones were crap and only worked for a short while before crashing. I think this is exactly what happened with this Toshiba, and they charged me to fix their defective product. I want the quality, customer-oriented Toshiba I knew in the early 2000s, not this passive-aggressive company that seems to think if the customer is unhappy it is the customer's fault.
UPDATE: The "new" Toshiba hard drive has crashed again, less than three months after the "repair." I'm not even bothering with Toshiba this time. I'm taking it to a local shop as if it never had a warranty. Why would I pay them another $50 to do another "warranty" repair.
Want Toshiba Satellite P755-S5380 15.6-Inch LED Laptop - Fusion X2 Finish in Platinum Discount?
I purchased this computer because I had an older one that lacked a web cam, and thought I'd just go ahead and purchase a new one and link the two computers. Firstly, the web cam picture was extremely blurry. Secondly, I was unable to link the two computers because the instructions were so confusing. But worst, it is impossible to get Toshiba customer service representative on the telephone. I got recordings, day after day, that because of the holidays their reps were busy but there was no holiday. And unlike companies that realize that they have long hold times and offer to call you back when someone is available, Toshiba just leaves you hanging, which runs up your cell phone bill.I returned it, and spent $99 on an amazing, crisp, easy to use web cam. And by the way, Amazon was wonderful about the return. I recommend them!
