Great ideas from Toshiba, need to wait a year for economical SSD capacity to increase
Reviewed By: on 10/8/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Gorgeous machine, outstanding display, solidly built, somewhat faster startup and shutdown with the SSD but otherwise zippy performance from the SSD and the 7200 rpm 320 hard drive once booted up.
Cons: 64 GB SSD is too small. Pretty much rendered the whole machine useless for my needs. I know I can install programs on D:\, put all my data there, etc. but why in this day and age?
The SSD is dedicated to C:\ parition. Only 47 GB of 64 show as the capacity. Out of the box and after running Windows Update, updating Adobe (no it won't let you install that in D:\) the C:\ drive shows only about 10 GB free. With swapping activity and what-not I once saw the free amount dip into the 7 range. Some software downloads like to write temporarily to the C:\ and then move the file to D:\ as I specified before starting the download. This was problematic when downloading packages from Autodesk.

A small Monster

Pros: Very fast machine. I like the finish much beter than my other Fusion finish. The keyboard lights up to the touch and is beautiful. Can't put the thing down! My Desktop is getting jealous of this Laptop. WEI=5.5 right out of the box.
Cons: I like to run at full power and in this mode, the underside of the laptop gets quite warm. VERY small SSD drive which boots quickly, but need to purge back old files often along with old restore points. Would advise to do custom installs of all programs and install on the spindle hard drive.

Huge!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It is a huge laptop. The specs speak for themselves. Sounds good, looks good, great graphics capabilities. Mouse pad texture is nice, responsive. Battery life is surprisingly good for the size of this laptop.
Cons: The two hard drives are good except everything is loaded on the small one, bloatware and OS leaves little room for games and such on the solid state drive. Having a hard time finding a case for this monster. Camera is miserable in low light.
Other Thoughts: When it arrives, dump the bloatware AFTER the windows update is done, and it does take awhile. Fingerprint magnet, eh, just clean it once in a while. Still looking to turn down the screen's brightness, blinding in low light conditions. It's a desktopy kind of laptop with it being a whopping 9.7 lbs. Worth the effort :)
