Review: Well honestly it would be an understatement if I said that I loved this machine, its that incredible. The first thing that strikes you is the look, a black glossy fusion finish and excellent build quality.
It has no flimsy panels and the lid hardly flexes when pressed. The keyboard is one of the best around and its also back lit which makes a world of difference. The touchpad blends in with the body and is ideal, it's sensitive and very smooth. The speakers need no praise, you need to listen to appreciate them, for laptop speakers they do an outstanding job.
The speed is really good with an excellent processor and sufficient amount of RAM. But the thing that makes this laptop really stand out is the graphics card,I've played Crysis, Call of duty modern warfare 2 and Far cry 2 on high settings and its been brilliant.
I haven't had any problems with this laptop as yet, and pray that I don't have any in the future because the Toshiba customer service is the worst around. To conclude I'd highly recommend this laptop.
