What's great about it:?Lightweight, Fast, 2GB, 200 GB space What's not so great:?Battery Life "I bought the laptop a few days ago becasue it was on sale and I was looking for a new notebook. You can't beat the AMD 1.9ghz, 2gb mem, and 200 gb storage - with Vista Premium. from Bestbuy.com Pros: Cool looking,easy to operate,inexpensive Cons: Fingerprint magnet "I needed a smaller computer to take back and forth to work and I take the bus. I already own a 17" Toshiba labtop that I got last year for home/gaming. from Bestbuy.com I bought mine about three weeks ago. Has worked perfectly. from Circuitcity.com Pros: touch keys for music controls, fast, wireless on/off switch, glossy finish looks good Cons: glossy finish hard to keep clean, small speakers "i bought this laptop a few weeks ago and removed and installed all the prgrams and anti-virus and everything myself works great i saw it in the store and knew right away that it was exactly what i wanted it had everything that i wanted and i got everything i expected out of it great price for the product and if you hook it up to external speakers its great for watching movies from Bestbuy.com I would definately spend the extra for a better battery. The one it comes with lasts only an hour and half or so. from Circuitcity.com This is my first laptop purchase and I am extremely pleased with it. The battery life is a little short, so if I want to watch a dvd I need to make sure it's plugged in. from Circuitcity.com Pros: Reliabe, realitivly inexpensive, good value Cons: A little on the slower side, webcam gets in the way, DVD drives stops working "I felt like this was a good laptop for any college student on a budget, it is a great value for its price, it works well for school, but also has a good set up for entertainement. from Bestbuy.com Pros: quick, clear picture, great features Cons: none "I love my toshiba laptop. My old laptop was very slow and eventually the display died. from Bestbuy.com Have owned A215-S7422 for almost two years, a frustrating two years I should say. What I love the most about this laptop is the Dolby sound, much much better than my husband's Thinkpad, combined with bright screen display, we use it mainly for playing movies now, and I guess that's what this laptop was designed for anyways. from Amazon.com I'm an engineer who needs to run complex structural analysis software. For best results, i need a lot of RAM, a good processor, and a decent graphics card. from Amazon.com
