Toshiba blows
 

I own a Toshiba Satellite laptop and, let me tell you, it is a piece of [censored]. The thing overheats at the slightest provocation...it can't even handle flash sites much of the time. It's winter weather here in New York and I find myself having to keep the AC on just to keep it from shutting down in the middle of a set (and no, there isn't a lot of heating in my house).

Long story short, death to Toshiba! I would sooner pay money for a North Korean hand-me-down than buy another laptop from those bastards.

Maybe Russia traded them cooling technology for those submarine secrets Toshiba peddled to them in the 80's.

I have one and it royally sucks. The fan is always acting up, the backlight of the screen dims down without any excuse, the sound buttons need seconds to react to a push, sometimes they don't work at all, the thing needs 3 min to boot and sometimes 2 minutes to shut down, the on/ off switch sometimes doesn't work, the battery went down after 100 hours usage, the a/c plug get's unstuck very easily which is nice if your battery is broke. It has a good processor but sometimes needs 4 seconds to come up with the file explorer.

In short, it's a piece of crap. I'll never ever buy one again.
