I HATE MY TOSHIBA LAPTOP

[rpcrowe]

I absolutely hate it for several reasons.

Chief among these reasons is the darn keyboard which takes a sledgehammer blow before it will type a character. Probably 15-20% of my characters are missing because I don't slam the keys hard enough. This is bad for me but, terrible for my wife who is a high speed touch typist.

Second among my hates (but, pressing pretty close to the terrible keyboard) is the glossy screen that reflects every light that is to your rear.

I know that it was my fault, not Toshiba's. I should heve found the shortcomings before purchasing the unit. I am just venting and describing what I percieve as shortcomings.. Maybe some prospective purchaser will be wiser than I was!

How old is it? May be it's time for a new laptop

Over the summer, I was shown this Toshiba laptop that had gone to hell, similar to yours. It had also acquired trojans, but that was the user's fault.

If you can budget a little bit of extra money, there are plenty of good laptops to be had at the big box retailers (look in the ads that come out on Sunday) and Costco.

I've had a Toshiba satellite pro 6100 since 2002 and it's pretty good. BUT the thing I hate the most is the button mouse. I didn't think that thru, not that I use anyway, just carry a mouse around in the bag. I'm going Apple on the next purchase.
