Screen shuts off. I bought this laptop from Best Buy and returned it the next day because the screen would shut off. I traded it for the same model figuring that that issue was with that individual computer. I was wrong because this one does it too and it's very frustrating (ie: if you're working on something important, save frequently). It's comforting to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Otherwise, it's an okay laptop for the price. Oh, and the battery doesn't last long either.

Nice design |

| Cons:
Screen shuts off I don't know much about computers so I don't know how defected this product is, but one thing is that the screen ALWAYS shuts off. No matter if you're just surfing the web or typing a document the screen will shut off. If you have this laptop and this problem occurs take it back to the place you bought it ASAP. Don't call Toshiba they will go through steps with you that will not solve the problem. I have called Toshiba over 15 times and the Customer service is TERRIBLE and if they don't want to transfer you to where you want to go, they will HANG UP on you.

Screen blacks out, Driver issue, Will not let me install any hardware. Bought this laptop just recently. I just returned this laptop today at Best Buy ... thankfully before my 14 days was up. I had trouble at first getting my money back but then had them look at it. They proceeded to tell me that this paticular model is defective because of so many problems with it. I did exchange it for a HP because they wouldn't give me all my money back. I thought this was ridiculous! I also went back over to the computer section and they're still selling it even though they know it's defective! Makes no sense! Do not by this computer unless your looking for problems.

Pros:
Nice hardware |

| Cons:
VISTA SUCKS BIGTIME!!! EATS MEMORY!!! My generic Compaq from 4 years ago runs better, and it FREEZES less. Just like when Windows ME came out, Microsoft and a few Hardware companies team up to give you JUST enough so the computer turns on. The touch pad has issuses and sometimes it makes your browser go back 2-3 pages. Vista is an overpriced memory Hog. I can't return this either without being charged over $100 for a restocking fee because Bestbuy and Toshiba say there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Microsoft is a joke they want to charge me because I need tech support to put XP on to it.
