Toshiba A100-SK4

I've had this laptop for a few months. I'm overall pleased with it. It's low in price and comes with everything I need. The Centrino 1.87GHz processor is plenty fast. It comes with a 80GB HD, 1G ram, DVD burner, wireless network connection, One annoying thing I've noticed is that on several occasions, the computer boots up with a few missing icons on the active toolbar. I'm still not sure what causes, whether it's software or hardware. Logging off and back in always fixes this. I also think that the icons are just not showing, but they are running in the background. Like other computers, it will crash now and then. What I don't like about this is that since it's a laptop, you can't just turn it off, or unplug the power when this happens. You need to pull out the battery too. I really don't like removing the battery with the computer on, but you really have no choice. The speakers are not too good. It is good enough for regular use, but not if you want to listen to high quality music.
