Very happy so far
By N. Caine
I got this to succeed an HP Pavilion AMD Duron ZE series laptop. I got the HP a few years ago after trying a lot of laptops, because I liked the keyboard feel (I typed without looking on many keyboards and the HP had the fewest keyboard-caused typos) and I found the text sharp. Over time I was held back by: 1) the sound never worked without stuttering, 2) even with a memory upgrade, it was very slow running XP SP2, and 3) the screen was hard to read in a brightly lit room. I could fix none of these, even after removing every memory resident program, uninstalling all unnecessary software, and using a professional defrag program. But the laptop otherwise served me well. One thing I learned about laptops: their performance is influenced largely by the rotational speed of the hard drive and the amount of memory you put in.The Toshiba, which I got on sale, has been a joy. For a budget laptop, it is one of the few I have found with a 5400 rpm hard drive, and that has made a huge difference! I also added more memory (512 should be your minimum, but adding a 1 gig module is advised). Everything works quickly and I have found no little annoying things! The screen is marvelous: huge and bright. Dvd's are gorgeous, especially when using the Dvd player's widescreen mode. The sound is great. 4 high speed USB ports are wonderful, as they fill up quickly! The wireless not only works very well, but has a conveniently located on/off switch, so you can turn it off to save energy, a feature not available on the wireless card I added to the HP. I also like the fact that the Toshiba's only "extra" buttons are dvd-type controls (play, pause, etc.). I find too many extra buttons goofy. The Toshiba is also lighter than the HP and is thinner. I'm amazed.On the down side, yes they saved money on the battery. I do not have experience of long battery lives on laptops in the past couple of years anyway, so I wasn't surprised. The battery comes out easily if you want to buy an extra. I'm used to taking my a/c adapter everywhere. Yet another pleasant surprise is that the a/c adapter is smaller and lighter than my HP's. Since I take it wherever I take the laptop, this is actually an important feature!Overall, I'm thrilled. I've read some complaints about other variations of the Satellite line, but I have read of no problems with the A105 series, and this was a very important consideration for me.

nice but fault
By T. Chang
This is a nice computer, the low end of A105 series, the only major problem is you better put aside $144(on sale at Toshiba direct)for a 8cel high capacity battery, the one come with it is a 4cel(2000mah) that run for about 1hr to 1hr and 10min on a good day.

By Erik Breteuil
I got this A105-S101 model on sale in January, 2006, and for the price it has been very satisfactory. Excellent for light office/work use and excellent for surfing the net.However: 1) The DVD player does not function at all on moderately-worn rented DVD's, sound is distorted on light- to medium-used DVD's, and the DVD player is only satisfactory at best with brand new DVD's that have just been opened.And: 2) All USB ports have ceased to recognize my Memorex M-Flyerstorage device, as well as all other plug-in storage devices. So what do I do now with the 4 USB port's...?!And all my new documents I need to transfer to my Laptop...?!Any suggestions...?!
