General Comments
Where does one begin? I was unlucky and stupid enough to think Toshiba had cornered the market on Desktop replacements. What I discovered was a very heavy laptop, with less than 40 minutes of battery power, and a computer that crashed more than a drunk being chased byu the cops. What an amazing piece of junk!!!! From the very first moment that I hit the power button, I was released on a long fantasy Journey of customer service and half-assed tech support. Toshiba was kind enough to say: "So the computer keeps crashing, have you tried to reboot?" after it crashed 24 times.
never again
