Toshiba Notebook Computer

[Suzy]

I'm seriously thinking of buying a Toshiba Satellite 15.4" Widescreen Notebook PC (A135-S4467). Does anyone know anything about this computer? It is $850 at Circuit City. That seems like a pretty good price to me, but is there something just as good or better for the same amount of money or less? It has the following features:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5200
•160GB hard drive
•Burns DVDs and CDs
•1GB of DDR2 memory
•Built-in 802.11agb wireless
•Windows Vista Home Premium

Thanks for your input.

I cannot vouch for that exact model but I bought a Toshiba Portege at Costco a few years back. It has been wonderful. Their support has been helpful. I recently had a virus problem and had to reformat and the system came with a disk to return it to factory state and it is as good as new. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

My brother an I both have lower-end Toshiba laptops. I purchased mine Christmas 2005, I think his was Spring 2005. So far no problems with either of them.

Personally I was looking for a low-cost laptop, only splurge was that it had a better than average screen. I did add extra memory, and bought the larger capacity laptop (both from ebay).

Thanks for your replies. I feel better about purchasing the computer.

Just to add my 2 cents here. Our last laptop was a Toshiba, and it was a joy.
This time, we bought an HP, and though it's good, it has given us more problems that the Toshiba, and next time, guess what we're getting? Good luck!
