I purchased the Toshiba M305. Started flickering on the screen then would go dark. from Amazon.com I was very excited to get this laptop since I read so many good reviews on it. Maybe I just got a lemon, but for some reason this laptop will not turn off (it just reboots itself). from Amazon.com I purchased one of these and it worked well until I went to move it on a table. With slight pressure, the LCD screen broke under my thumb and Toshiba wanted over $400 for repairs. from Amazon.com So I've been working with the M305 for the past three months since my former laptop became a 5 lb paperweight. Overall, the machine runs great. from Amazon.com This is a copy of an email sent 05/27/2009, no response from amazon to date. Recently received this item, Issues are as follows: from Amazon.com Like Toshiba laptops generally, they are realtively strong,and this model is rather powerful for the money. The glossy finish makes it an ad for fingerprints, smudges, dust -- every little thing shows ups - What on earth were the designers thinking when they came up with a high gloss finish("We'll make every surface high gloss, the cover glossy, the case glossy, even the keys! from Amazon.com I bought this laptop a little over 2 months ago and it has been nothing short of being an exceptional laptop. from Amazon.com I purchased one of these and it worked well until I went to move it on a table. With slight pressure, the LCD screen broke under my thumb and Toshiba wanted over $400 for repairs. Their customer service is horrible and so far I've spent 8 hours on the phone talking to different people to no avail. from Amazon.com I purchased the Toshiba M305. Started flickering on the screen then would go dark. from Amazon.com Maybe I just got a lemon, but for some reason this laptop will not turn off (it just reboots itself). I took it to Best Buy and no help. Today it crashed 6x straight (the screen just froze) and the toshiba tech support told me to do a system restore so hopefully that will take care of the problem. I have only had this computer for less than 4 months. from Amazon.com
