Toshiba Satellite L870-ST4NX1 Laptop Notebook Windows 8 - Intel i3-2348M 2.30GHz - 8GB RAM - 750GB

Toshiba Satellite L870-ST4NX1 Laptop Notebook Windows 8 - Intel i3-2348M 2.30GHz - 8GB RAM - 750GB HD - 17.3 inch display1) key board slap: it flexes in the middle, so your fingers skip and misskey cheap nasty keyboard

2) USB ports & headphone socket exactly where a right hander uses an external mouse so you constantly get your mouse hand caught up this is so irritating if you use the laptop for business. It's highly performance negative.

3) function buttons are now secondary ie: you have to press 'fn' at the same time which use two hands, again negative on performance and the lettering is really dark blue so you have no idea wher f1 / f2 etc are!

4) windows 8 is awful a kiddie program for tablets. And the MS outlook version for win 8 does not let you add files to e-mails!

5) win 8 stickers, 'intel inside; are exactly where you rest your left hand. So the edges start to peel up an catch on your hand. Nasty.

6) after 2 weeks I get intermittent 'startup freezes' where the screen shows stripes not promising.

7) poor thing struggles to handle power programs like CAD or photoshop games would kill it.

8) Toshiba pop-ups that want to handle this / that / the other. GO AWAY.

Positives?? well the screen is great, battery seems to last well, and it runs cool-ish.

Bottom line: if you intend to use this more than an hour a day... then buy something else. prob a Sony Vaio.
