I bought this computer for my son so he can become familiar with the computer and begin to perform work at the school. My first impression is positive, a sufficiently powerful model for a beginner, and of good quality. The installation under Windows 7 was a breeze. Toshiba provides a completely useless Toshiba software that is outdated and does not automatically update when you're on-line, which is annoying. For a portable 15 "it is unfortunately quite large and this is entirely due to the French AZERTY keyboard that is so lousy that we can not work without keypad but unfortunately it is what is used at school. .. This makes the computer compact. Another small problem is that the touchpad with mouse buttons are too far left versus optimal ergonomic use.
