4.0 out of 5 stars Great computer, beautiful screen, October 18, 2010
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L675-S7048 17.3-Inch LED Laptop - Fusion Finish in Helios Grey (Personal Computers)
I just purchased this computer two days ago, so I may update this in the future. My previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron 15.6" core 2 duo. I wanted more RAM to do some non-pro video editing, and an update to one of the newer processors, and I wanted a 17.3" screen. In the end, I had to decide what was more important to me - a larger, good quality screen or a processor that was probably faster than I needed, but wouldn't be obsolete for a good while - i.e a 15.6" i5 or a 17.3" i3. I went with the latter, and I'm definitely not sorry so far. The picture quality of the screen on this computer is gorgeous - crisp, clear and sharp, and well-lit. The keyboard has nice big keys, though they're flat & I'd ideally prefer slightly raised, but I don't think I'll mind, since they're so large. I won't be using the number pad, but it's nice to have if you are someone who will use it. The speakers have so far surprised me - they're at least twice as good (and twice as loud) as the ones on my... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overall Value / Poor Shipment (Amazon)!, November 19, 2010
By 
Scooter (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L675-S7048 17.3-Inch LED Laptop - Fusion Finish in Helios Grey (Personal Computers)
I've been prowling for 1-2 months now ... both online and in traditional stores - BB, OfficeD and St (pretty easy to decipher which stores). I got this with the $100 off from this site. The sale price ended a day after that so that was good timing. So factoring in the free shipping, it was an excellent deal.
Pros:
1. Screen - sharp and bright
2. Overall speed
3. Price
4. Reputable brand/ reliability
5. Looks sharp (fusion finshi) but no fingerprints
Update:
6. The hard drive has an impact sensor to prevent damage. Nice bonus feature!

Cons:
1. No HDMI
2. No Intel WIMAX chip which is now becoming standard in Toshiba's A series.
3. Wish the ports were at the back - not at the sides (seems to be the trend with all the brands now)

I do prefer the island-style keys --- but the lack-of-it is not a CON since my wife does not prefer this.
A computer is a computer ... so for me, it all boils down to the brand... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, December 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L675-S7048 17.3-Inch LED Laptop - Fusion Finish in Helios Grey (Personal Computers)
Very disappointed with this laptop and even more with Toshiba and they way they wanted to handle the repair on the unit. I have owned this laptop for less than 2 months and the hard drive has already failed. The Toshiba technitian and myself were easily able to verify that it was the hard hard drive that failed since it would not boot to desktop and the error message on boot up stated the hard drive had failed, safe mode, normal mode, last working configuration, nothing would work. Why do we need to send a laptop 2000 miles at the owners expense when Toshiba could simply send a hard drive to you for a few dollars.

Since I live in the USVI, for some reason the computer world will not send any parts or computers here, it is cheaper for me to buy a new upgraded hard drive and win 7 pro oem then to send the laptop to a US address and then to Toshiba and back to me again.

It was great while it worked, but lasting 6 weeks in unacceptable.
