One Bad Mammajamma
Pros: This thing is so absolutely bad, it will steal your girlfriend and ride off on your motorcycle. The exterior resembles austenic steel with the edges being a blood red color. My guess is that its enemies didn't fare well. No, its not white or glossy black. This thing doesn't have time to mess with fashion statements. It is built like a brick outhouse. This is a man's computer, not some flimsy thin laptop that looks like it belings to someone with an Adam's apple the size of a grapefruit. Don't even try buying it without having your testosterone levels checked. It's got so much street cred, it has a buit in subwoofer. Yeah, that's right...put one of those on your miniscule paper thin tablet...oh, that's right...you can't. The cooling fan is only slightly less powerful than the space shuttle. You should always face north when using it, because there is a possibility the earth could stop turning from the reaction force. It'll keep its cool when the chips are down.
Cons: Bloatware. Took me 3 hours to figure out how to get Wild Tangent off. Most other stuff removes easily. There are no jagged edges or sharp protrusions. This thing should have some spikes or saw blades on it, just so you know how bad it truly is. Its made by Toshiba. Yeah, that's a con. My last Toshiba was 6 years old and just wouldn't die. I had to give the thing away so I would have an excuse to get this one. I will probably have this thing after the apocalypse is over. It won't keep yout beer cold.
Overall Review: I'm pretty sure Toshiba made this laptop as a foreboading symbol of ultimate power just to let Godzilla know where not to tread for fear of his own longevity. I am glad I have one as well because when the aliens try ot brutally take over the planet, I will automatically be elevated to divine status in their eyes and exempt from the culling of humans.
Not so great
Pros: Small, decent power, detachable head for cleaning.
Cons: Not very durable. It started making grinding noises when unloaded after second use. The speed is noticably reduced, as is the power.
Overall Review: Wish I had gone with something better.
Not impressed
Pros: Its basically shelf liner cut to fit. This means I can make several hundred for the price of this.
Cons: Had it for about a week. Its got gouges abrasions and is peeling off in places.
Overall Review: Supposedly a lifetime warranty, but seriously, why waste the time on getting it replaced? Its just not worth it for a piece of. <1¢ plastic (that I paid nearly $15 for).
Not Good
Pros: It worked well for a while
Cons: Its been getting worse and worse. Now it disco's me from the internet about once every 5 minutes. The 5GHz band quit working about a month after I got it, and I can't find a solution. I am severely disappointed.
Keeps the neighbors happy.
Pros: Comfortable on the noggin. Keeps outside interferance noise to a minimum.
Cons: The sound sucks. They have the fidelity of a pull string doll talking. There is a constant hiss of static.
Overall Review: It keeps my neighbors from getting torqued. When I want to watch tv late at night and the paper thin apartment walls don't cut down the found, they are a life saver.
Covers up my singing
Pros: Nice little radio. Has good sound and plenty of volume.
Cons: Long external wire antenna, would be better if it were a semi rigid type.
Overall Review: It has an emergency heeled and led flashlight. I guess if I am ever caught in my shower when the lights go out and I am suddenly trapped under a bunch of rubble, they will be able to find me.
Rip off
The item was not shipped. Excuses from the seller and Newegg. Ordered and the day it was supposed to get here, tracking changed to "Pending" and the customer gave excuses about government restrictions...blah blah blah. Newegg is unhelpful with this. I have asked for resolution three times now and keep getting waived off. "We can reach out to the seller tomorrow". Or, "We can start the refund process tomorrow." Nothing ever happens tomorrow. Finally disputed charges for the video card and the extended warranty with the credit card company. I have used Newegg since the early 2000s. Never again.
