Toshiba Satellite Laptop By Trinity1967 By Trinity1967 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I bought this laptop about a year ago from wal mart for 799.00 for school, I work long hours and desperately needed something reliable, not too expensive and up to date to do papers on, do homework and study with, listen to some music and watch a few dvd's plus play in some graphic programs every once in awhile and I definately got what I bargained for in this laptop. I highly reccomend this product and in the future I will definately go back to a Toshiba product. My ONLY complaint is I had to buy a regular mouse LOL me and the finger pad thing did not get along so well, but that was an inexpensive purchase of about 8.00 from Wal-mart. Thus far I've not had any issues with connecting online or anything else. I have wrote many term papers, and researched many different projects and done a TON of homework on this laptop. It is kind of heavy but lighter than alot of the laptops in it's class.

Here is some of the specs on this sweet deal from Toshiba:
