Pros: Great laptop. There are lots of nice extras with this thing including the lighted keyboard. My favorite is the touchpad enable/disable button. It's fast for gaming and pretty much everything else.

Cons: Lots of bloatware, but I uninstalled it all without much trouble. It's a fingerprint magnet. The left side media buttons beep incredibly loud, but you can disabled it in the bios (press F2 or F1 at startup I think). Also, the media buttons are poorly placed. You will hit them when you don't mean to.

Overall Review: This thing is HUGE. It's bigger than you think. The speakers are great for a laptop. However for an audiophile, it sounds like Toshiba applies a lot of compression to the sound, therefore you get sort of a volume pumping effect. I can live with it though. I got rid of my external speakers to free up some room on my desk.
