The Basics
- Hard Drive: The 60 GB Enhanced IDE hard drive is average in size when compared to other business-oriented notebook PCs, and is fine for storing business productivity applications, presentations, and a decent-sized digital library.
- Processor: The Intel Celeron M Processor 380 is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. The 1.6 GHz speed resides at the very top of the spectrum for this processor (as of October 2005). It also features a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and large 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
- Memory: The 256 MB of built-in memory (1 x 256 MB, PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) will get you started, but you'll want to add to the 2 GB maximum RAM capacity to take on today's demanding business productivity software suites and presentation applications.
- CD/DVD Drive: With the included DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive, you'll be able to watch DVD movies as well as burn data and your favorite music mixes to CD. It has 24x write, 10x rewrite, and 24x read speeds for CDs, and an 8x DVD read speed.
- Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 85-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous).

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Worst Laptop money can buy.
This laptop worked for 26 months before dying. In those 24 months, it was a constant struggle, waiting for things to load, for it to "Start Up" 100 processes, just to say that the Page File was full. Windows ran horribly on it, the DVD/CD combo drive dies without warning, the battery life is short, it had to be run almost constantly on power.
From day one, the speakers were extremely tinny, and rattled. The only solution to that was listening with headphones or buying external speakers. ... Read More
Rating: - The price listed is way to much.
I got this same lap top for under $400. do not buy this laptop for 1399. way to much. I got it for like $250 on black friday and normal price was about $400.
Rating:  - Get a free Sony VAIO FJ instead!
Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original colorful ultra-cool Sony VAIO FJ series laptop with 1GB RAM, 100GB disk, DVD writer, built-in webcam, etc. and all for Free! I got mine from this web site: getbestfreestuff.com/laptop
Rating: - Absolutely Great Product
I love this machine. It works like a charm. The keyboard setup is well thought-out and the screen quality is bright and crisp. Yes, there's too much fluffy value-added software on it, but you can always scrape it off. (Its presence helps keep the price low.) Toshiba's own laptop utilities are excellent. The oversensitivity of the touchpad can easily be rectified by adjusting the touchpad settings. As for documentation, Toshiba has always had the very best--a complete manual is in the form of a .pdf file ... Read More
Rating: - Very slooooooooooooow
I don't like this computer at all. It sometimes takes up to 3 minutes for a screen change. On occasion it has been slower than dial up. The CD/DVD drive is defective. It may be OK if all you are doing is typing a paper,etc. but not for anything else.
