Warning about software Aug 31, 2010
Be careful, you are led to believe you are purchasing a laptop with a full version of Windows 7 installed and you are actually buying a laptop with Windows 7 and a trial version of Windows Office. After 90 days, you need to purchase a Windows Office key number at over 100 dollars. If you call Windows support, they just give you the run around. Wonderful laptop though.

Full refund not received Aug 29, 2010
I do not understand the $82.50 charge upon return of this item. The box was not opened. I explained that I had received a laptop computer as a gift from my wife only days after I ordered the laptop from you. I do not see justification for the
charge anywhere in your literature. I have been a loyal Amazon customer over the
years purchasing many items. Respectfully request you refund the $82.50 charge.Toshiba Satellite A505- 15.5-Inch Laptop - Black/Grey

Replacement Aug 19, 2010
This was a replacement for a toshiba laptop. The old one died. The shipping was quick and there were no problems with the order. I'm not sure about Windows 7 at this time.

Good powered laptop, backed by Toshiba's reliability Aug 18, 2010
I purchased this laptop 2 months ago and I am very much satisfied. My primary purpose is to put VMware on it, run SAP BI & Oracle Apps on Windows 2000 (on VM) along with some database, and also run some reporting tools. So I needed good RAM and good power. Yes, this delivered that power. Boot time is very good. Lovely design. Big screen, very good to watch movies, as this is a multimedia screen. It has full keyboard(with numeric pad)! For some reason, I feel the volume of speakers seems adequate for a laptop. It's not bad at all. I used variety of laptops till now (official ones though), and this has comparatively more or less the same volume.

Why 4 *s? Coming to that, this came with 500 gig disk and that's not partitioned. The Windows partitioning tool didn't compress it to beyond 212 gig. But I wanted to keep about 50 gig for OS and rest into 2 partitions. I am not interested in using any 3rd party tools to partition while OS is already installed. I don't want to risk the time at this point. Probably I'll try out when I have 3-4 days free time.

By looking at the images, one may feel that the body cover is not glossy. But it is. Finger prints are very evident. Same on screen (but we're not supposed to put our hands on the screen). I am a lazy guy, so can't keep wiping it wet tissue all the time. I will do it once in a while.

But otherwise, this is a great piece. Backed by Toshiba's reliability. And this has international warranty too. The price has gone up in 2 weeks, and what I observed is this particular model is not widely available in outside market, but it's sibling ES5037 does. I think I got a great deal at right time.

I have a suggestion for people who want to use this one on their laps. It becomes very hot quickly, so it's good to keep it in such a way that the air vents are not blocked at bottom and side. You might need a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Good Basic Computer, With A Few Problems Aug 16, 2010
This is one of those good, basic Toshiba laptops that go for a reasonable price, and will do most of what you want it to do. There are a couple of problems, however. The shiny black finish preserves all your fingerprints and requires constant cleaning to get rid of them. The speakers are small and atrocious: they make your music sound like its being played on one of those old tinny transistor radios. (Buy a good set of headphones.) And I'm kind of getting tired of Windows (even the mostly reliable Windows 7), and have been experimenting with Ubuntu as an OS. But if you can look past those things, this is a computer that will work for you.
