Pros: Nice computer. 64g SSD HD is faster than spindle HD. Windows "Experience" on this machine is rated at 5.7 (out of 7.9 possible). The larger battery that comes standard with this machine is excellent, lasting about 5-7 hours or so.

Cons: Loaded with tons of shareware garbage. SSD is fast, but not as fast as some, I belive this Toshiba SSD is 100 MB/sec write, 150 MB/sec read. Pricey. A little heavy with the larger battery.

Overall Review: I bought this largely for the SSD. I use it (drive C) as OS drive only, and the spindle HD (drive D) for data. This setup works perfectly. I use TrueImage Home 10 without any problems. Windows 7 and all my proggies take about 30gig on the SSD, with all data on spindle drive. This probably wouldn't make a good gaming machine, as the 64g SSD is somewhat limiting, and many games won't let you install onto drive D. Great little laptop, fast boot (23sec, once Windows7 starts; 36 sec counting cmos start, etc.) Nice system if you can afford it. Would have liked to have had 128g SSD, if I could have. Perhaps I can upgrad that in the future.

Pros: SSD, GT230 graphics card, backlit keyboard I have had the laptop for over 4 years now and it still performs great, wish it had a little bit better processor

Cons: Big and Heavy, processor speed sometimes

Pros: -Excellent response time due to the processor and SSD. -Win 7 is excellent. -Speakers are decent for a laptop. -Battery life is superb, lasting 6 hours or so. -BD drive, which I didn't need but have come to appreciate. -Looks outstanding. -Edge to edge display is nice. -HDMI out. -Light up keyboard works well.

Cons: -Glossy keyboard (not bad, but not great.) -Offset keyboard because of the number pad. -Attracts fingerprints because of the Fusion Finish. -Somewhat low resolution for its size. -Just wish it had the P8700 processor.

Overall Review: Overall, I have to echo just about everything Juneau92 said. I didn't find there to be a large amount of shareware, but there was some. The SSD/2nd HDD combo is excellent, providing excellent response time. I put all the apps on the SSD and right when you click, there it is, already pulled up. The 500GB hard drive is nice for storing a whole lot of media files (music, etc.) I can't say enough good things about this computer. It's quick, Windows 7 finally follows up XP in ease of use and it looks excellent to top it off. The video card allows for easy watching of HD movies and the HDMI out works well for watching Blu-ray on a larger screen. If you're already looking at this page, I highly recommend you just buy this comp. It solidly outpaces most everything in this price/screen size range. Lastly, I called Toshiba and talked to a tech and NO, you cannot add a 2nd hard drive to another Satellite like this one. This is the only way to get an SSD/HDD combo in a 16" Satellite.
