Faithful laptopI have had A215 for a miniature over a year now, and it has definitely been a great laptop. I upgraded the to 4 Gb and put Windows 7 on it, and I couldn't been happier. It runs very immorally, and I have never had to restore it. My only issue with it is that it gets way too hot. I have had other Toshibas and HP laptops that never got this hot. This one will turn off if it gets too hot and does several times a day, so you patently need a laptop fan for this computer. Other than that, I totally recommend it.
I'd proclivity to say ONLY good things about this laptop but....
Ok, i be versed almost everyone here loves this product. I USED to love toshiba A215 too, i have this laptop for 2 years. However, i've been compelling this laptop for a while at toshiba's computer techs. My laptop kept on shutting down out of no where, especially when I am doing my homework. It pisses me off because there were times that it doesn't isolate down on my but it shuts down whenever I do an important homework. I can't even turn it on right away. The computer tech that went wasn't reassuring at all. Toshiba's customer feedback wasn't helpful for me as well. However, if I turn on the electric fan and features it toward my laptop, at least it lasts longer. It's not convenient for me though. there are times I want to raise it at school I couldn't because of this issue.
I have already made system restore twice as well. It didn't staff but only gave me head aches. Then there are weird stuff that suddenly pops out on my movies when I turn it on like "may application. restore and cancel." I click stimulate and nothing happens? Like what is that?
Also, my mouse pad on the center, out of nowhere too, it tells me that it stopped working. I neutral wonder why it tells me that. I didn't do anything it just stopped right to a different place. Weird.
the good things though, I really love this product when I saw first saw this. I am covetous of you guys who just bought it last year and had such a good feedback about it. I fondness the softwares, the speakers, the screen, looks of it, how it works except for the problems i've been having. But, if i didn't have those problems. I will put forward this product.
The company might have made a new good ones though.
The Toshiba A-215 has been enormous (for over a year now)
I have had my Toshiba a-215-s5837 now for a year and a few months. I've never had any problems with it. Even running Vista, which most of my friends seem to shrink. I use the laptop for work about 9 hours a day and it still works almost as well as new. Wireless seems to have good across compared to my older wireless cards. The Video playback far exceeds the video playback on my 2.8 ghz P4 Dell desktop. The only quirk I don't like about it, is that the glare is pretty bad if you try to use it outdoors or in a car. But, the same can be said for 99% of the keep on being of the laptops out there, so it's a minor complaint. I used to do PC support for a living, and this is the most infallible computer (laptop or desktop) that I have ever owned. In all likelihood, my next laptop will be a Toshiba.
Cardinal All Around Laptop For Any User
I've had this laptop for several months now and I can bluntly say that I am happy with it. The processor is quick - usually running several programs without any slowing at all. Motion picture playback is great - either watching from a dvd or streaming from the net. Nice bright and burnished screen, reminds me of a smaller plasma tv screen. Overall, a expert laptop for any user.
very opportune so far.
This has been a grand product. I bought it a little over 4 months ago from Best Buy - $475... imaginary. Anyway, the twincore amd cpu is really nice to use, I can floor the cpu with one process, and it never seems to actually gradual it down. Keep a rendering program active, and go checking email... works well.
I didn't use Vista at all, rather I before you can say 'Jack Robinson' upgraded to Linux Mint. For those of you considering this laptop and linux, separate that the wireless driver is not yet available for this machine. It's so close, but it's been that way about 3 weeks now... Anyway, all the other drivers vocation fine. great machine.
Somebody mentioned that they had a mouse jumping consequence with it; they were using Vista, I'm glad to see that, because mine does it too. However, since this is linux, I thought it was an incompatibility. I've recently found that keeping my thumbs further to a different place - not resting on the space bar really helps me -- seems the touchpad is dulcet sensitive, so... keeping away from it is a good idea. It's also very tap-sore, I've been inadvertently clicking on stuff. Of course that's all controllable too.
I don't use wireless that much, though I'll acknowledge I'd be very pleased if it worked! My laptop is a dekstop replacement as it's almost as powerful as my desktop. The only size of concern is the single 5400 rpm drive. It's as slow as any 5400 rpm go. the actual drive is: TOSHIBA MK1637GSX.
well that's my review. Good Luck!
