I am very satisfied with the Laptop. There was a surprise for me. I expected the video card to be Radeon 7610M, but i got a 7670M instead. Very happy. The Windows (W7 HP) rating is 5.9 (lowest for the hard disk, since it is 5400rpm). Processor 7.6, RAM 7.8, Graphics and gaming graphics 6.8. What else do you need. I trust toshiba and toshiba only. I have used model Satellite A300 extensively for four and half years, during my Masters till now. I have used various processor intensive programs, unlike games, like Numerical simulations with Matlab, Labview, Mathcad etc. Also i had ran Abaqus6.8, ProE and Pro Mechanica. The A300 is working even now flawlessly. Not a single issue. The only other laptop that can beat or stand next is Thinkpad or an Asus. Rest all are crap (HP, Dell, Samsung, Sony). I found out that L850 is faster in running simulation when compared to HPZ400 WS, that i use at work. Awesome laptop. I recommend Toshiba to anybody, who wants reliability, life, ruggedness, and peace of mind. This laptop is also future proof to some extend. I am not a gamer, but i have seen the ratings for videocard, for popular 2012 games. The fps are good. 7670M is an entry level High graphics card, with very good openGL rating (CAD users will understand me, than gamers) I paid by credit card. The expected delivery date was 10 days from purchase. But again to my surprise, the laptop got delivered in 4 working days (including saturday). Excellent service.
This is to notify you all to beware before purchasing Toshiba Laptop. I’ve purchased Toshiba satellite laptop from Flipkart.com. All though the product is good but after sales service is pathetic. I’ve purchased the Laptop extend warranty, which needs an online registration. The online registration failed as there are various flaws in the online process 1) You can not process your extended warranty if your original warranty is not registered on the website (Toshiba India) 2) They will ask you to send the SCAN copy of your invoice and once you send they will keep you wait for long time(in my case almost 1.5 months) 3) If you ask them for updated on call centre (toll free number) they will return with the common answer (Sorry Sir our system is not working) Such a pathetic service. Don’t try to save 3-4 thousands.. Instead buy Dell / HP machines. Toshiba is pathetic. I am chasing the on call support from past 1.5 months and there is answer from Toshiba support (Its in process) WTF I already paid for extended warranty almost 4.5k for 2 years and my original warranty is now expired. This crap brand is harassing me and just earning money through extend warranty. Keep yourself away from this brand ….
If you intend to purchase this laptop, then probably you will be using this for multitasking, gaming and high performance. Out of which you can achieve great amount of multitasking and high performance but if you intend to play games like (bf3, farcry 2 and max payne 3 / or any upcoming 2012-2013 game) don't expect a flawless performance and FPS. The GPU (graphics card) used in this laptop is the Radeon HD 7610M which is a mid-range card.It is based on the old redwood chip and hence just a renamed version of Radeon 6530M, the core clock is reduced from 900 Mhz to 800 Mhz. So, if you are buying this get ready to play all upcoming games including (bf3, farcry 2 and max payne 3) at lowest possible details. Micro-Review- Pros: 2.0 MP WebCam
awesome lapy...... The best specs in super price.. Iam gng to buy this one. The main thing is intel's 3rd gen core i7 processor and 8gb of ram.and a super graphics card...ati's .. for many weeks i was searching for a lap around 55000rs price... In the last i got one.. And i want a ati's graphics card too..iam an ati fan..i don't like n vidia. I will buy this one..... The only drawback is hdd's rpm. But it is not a problem for this price..
As many others have said it is a beast in performance. Very slim considering other models. Only 4mm more than MacBook pro in thickness!! It's the best in the price range except on comparing with the Asus k55m. There are some reports of heating issues with the asus.. So I'd advise u to get this one. Update: Build is not too good. The hinges are very weak. Have had them replaced in the first year itself. On the other hand Toshiba Service impressed me with its spontaneous response. Pros: Solid package of i7 3rd gen 8gb ram and 2gb ati graphics. Relatively slim built. Great cooling. Cons: Battery life is not great. Does not last a full HD movie. 750 GB HDD might not be sufficient (atleast for me). It's a great deal for those who want laptops for the future.
research. compare. buy.
