Why? Why? Why didn't I listen to the advice here? my 5205-S703 is now one month old and has not been used for two weeks. The battery lasts less than 40 minutes, the graphics card is defective and the damn laptop crashes every ten minutes [or less].
Toshiba's response was: "you shoulda bought a Sony". I now truly and whole heartedly agree.
Anyone need a door-stopper?
