User Reviews about Toshiba Satellite L505-S5993 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Grey Black Laptop - 2 Hours 25 Minutes of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)

We purchased this computer the beginning of January. It worked great for 3 months and then all of a sudden the screen went black. You could look real close and see a slight image. If you plugged the laptop into a monitor, the computer was working. I called Toshiba and in less than two minutes of evaluation and just before the tech in India deleted my hard drive, he determined it was the monitor and the monitor was not covered by warantee. It would be between $160 and $320 to repair and he asked if I wanted to set up a repair on it.
This may be true for all laptops, that the monitor isn't covered. I will look close next time I buy one. My gripe is that no one had even looked at the computer and he determined that it would not be covered by warantee. This computer was not abused or damaged. It was sitting on a table when it quit working. This guy had no genuine knowledge, just the little he was trained in troubleshooting (ie, turn off the computer,turn on the computer, delete the hard drive). Luckily I have an extended warantee that should cover the computer. I'll let everyone know my thoughts on Square Deal warantees when the computer is fixed. Started out a little rocky, but hopefully it will turn out ok. -- Good until it quits working

Is perfect instead of your old pc!!!
It works very good!! Nice time delivered!! -- Nice laptop for home users!!

I have owned, and still do, numerous PCs from various manufacturers. It has been years since I owned a Toshiba. I have been using this one for about four weeks now, and for the money I rate it very highly. Overall, however, I gave it only three stars, but in essence I have two separate reviews for this machine: 1) The PC without regard to the internal speaker system -- 4.5 stars -- mostly excellent in all regards, 2) the internal speaker system -- 1 star for horrible. Here I am not making reference to the occasionally noted problem with Toshiba internal PC speakers to just stop working. Mine worked right out of the box, and still do. They just work very poorly -- both underpowered and with low sound quality. If you use external speakers or headphones this is not a problem, but if you plan on enjoying sounds directly from the PC speakers, and if that is important to you, I would be hesitant about buying this otherwise very fine machine.
-- Great, except sound.
