so far so good We talked with a computer guy and this had everything we were looking for. We would’ve preferred windows 7 since everyone complains about windows 8 but really after messing around a bit with it, its not that bad if your a techy person. If your not comfortable with tablets and smart phones then i would stay a way a look for a windows 7 computer. This was easy to set up and it has a desktop app which is nice just missing the start button so it still is different than your usual desktop.
Very good rate quality/price I only wanted a laptop to use gmail, facebook, spotify, netflix, office, skype… You can use all this stuff with this Toshiba without problems. Windows 8 was hard at first, but now I get used to it. Buy this laptop and save your money for a trip. It also has an USB 3.0 port, a HDMI port and a DVD device.
My Laptop This laptop was a pain at first. The Windows 8 was hard to figure out, especially with no detailed instructions how to use the new Windows 8. I couldn’t find anything. I took a couple of days just looking through everything and figuring it all out. A friend gave me some pointers, too. I didn’t like it, and still would rather have a different Windows; but, I have gotten used to it. The IE10 was a disaster. I think it had a bug in it or something. Wouldn’t let me go on websites and kept telling me that the script was too long. Ads kept coming up that didn’t look trust worthy, even from Norton(?). I finally deleted it from my desktop. Kept it in the C drive just to make sure there weren’t files I needed. Hope it’s contained there and won’t escape. I had to download Firefox and that works so much better. Sorry IE, I’ve always used it, but now I have to use Firefox. Now that I have arranged things, deleted a lot of the Tiles, downloaded a Start Button and just plain made it mine, I do like it. Not the fastest one around, should have bought one that had a faster processor. But, it’s ok and I have begun to enjoy it. If I were to buy another one, as I said, i’d buy a faster one.
