Released June, 2009
The Pros:Variety of display sizes - 14 to 17". Comes with Windows 7. Wide variety of specifications makes it easy to find a laptop suited to your needs.
The Cons:Speaker sound is lower than other laptops. I dont know whether its problem with all Toshiba satellite laptops or just this laptop. Cheap glossy plastic finishes. Internal hard drive was replaced 4 times, the battery 3 times on my original purchase & on the replacement laptop.
