Style Name:Core i3, 6GB, 640GB
My old laptop got stolen (it was 4 yr old Toshiba) so I didn't think long and decided to go with manufacturer that didn't disappoint me the first time.
Very well built laptop. It's made from hard, mat plastic. I liked it from the first glance very bright screen (much brighter than in my old one) 16:9 ratio which is lower and wider than I had previously but I got used to it really quickly (I have it for 2 days now). Very big (and fast) hard disc. Great processor. Integrated graphics (but don't worry - I plays movies in HD smoothly) works well (so far :)), one can also burn DVDs and CDs as it's equipped with DVD RW drive (and all software needed).
Haven't tested it's performance in games yet, but PassMark Performance Test gave it 1325 points which is way higher than I expected from laptop for under 600 euros.

Style Name:Core i3, 6GB, 640GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
The title of the review says it all, for the price the laptop is good, and one grade higher (especially in terms of RAM) than you can get on the high street for the same price.
The negatives are;
1. there is no HDMI connection, which in my experience it is standard for PCs to have.
2. it only has 2 USB ports, which is less than you generally get for a PC in this price bracket (they are also right next to each other, which means that anything inserted in one often blocks access to the other).
3. the inbuilt mouse pad keys 'click' and make a horrible noise when pressed (which gives the feeling of a 1980's PC)
Apart from that it's a good laptop (but not great) - the best thing is the screen and colour quality, which are excellent.
That said, it you don't need the 17.3" monitor, you should go down a monitor size as this will allow you to get the next step up in processor (the Intel Core i5 rather than i3) and also some more RAM.
UPDATE: 2 MONTHS ON ..............
I have had the laptop for almost exactly 2 months now and 2 things have happened;
1. the battery like has dropped to 2 hours (so much for the "improved battery life" they state in the product description) - I re-read all of the Amazon page for the product and couldn't find any mention of battery life (other than the reference to "improved battery life"), so it is probably my fault for assuming it would be good
2. for some reason the laptop has begun to make a very high pitched 'screech' that emanates from around the area of the hard disk drive - not a useful development if you need to use the machine for long periods of time.
Now I remember why I started to buy Acer machines after owning a Toshiba many years ago ...........

This is a great laptop, well constructed and thought out. Performance is good with Win7 64bit. Limited free software comes with it - which suited me well. BUT and its quite a big but, it only has two USB ports and appalling audio (and I do mean appalling) - a barely audible tinny noise! I guess you get what you pay for but that is a pretty poor effort from the usually trusty Tosh.

Toshiba 17" laptop
Just what I expected. A fantastic laptop for the money. If I had paid more I would have expected more but this really is a great piece of kit.
