Service and support

Toshiba Satellite A70/75

Speedy; spacious 15.4-inch screen; handy CD-control buttons; 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.

Middling battery life; not customizable.

If battery life isn't a primary concern, the Toshiba Satellite A75-S206 is a good mainstream laptop.

OK

This is one of 3 laptops we own, all Toshiba so we do like this brand. If you are after a basic laptop then this is a good choice. Ours is still going strong and other than it getting very hot when it is charging we have had no other issues with it. If...

- Runs well - Good size screen

- It gets very hot when plugged into the charger, so much that it is too hot to place on your lap - It seems to attract alot of dust which gets under the keyboard

Bad

It was fine for just general computer work, pretty much useless for games beyond the most simple variety. Ours was a rental, I had to frequently send it for repairs. The overheating problems is because the intake vents are underneath the computer and...

I don't have much that I would rave about really

Speakers give electric shock Very prone to getting clogged up with dust and then overheating or malfunctioning Not very good at playing anything but the very most basic of games

Excellent

Anyone looking for a second hand laptop would go right with one of these. Has never let me down apart from the charging socket breaking. 2 hours research on the net and $5 in parts has fixed it for good. A really good unit. Can only consider replacing...

Great screen, fast and powerful (or was when new).

Can run hot, need to be sure fan screens underneath are clean.

Excellent

This Toshiba has lasted me over 5 years & Still going Strong. Its so reliable. Great desktop Replacement. It is that good i compelled me to choice a New Toshiba satellite M300/300 which is just awesome over a Macbook. Toshiba's suport is Unbeatable.
