Toshiba Satellite E105-S1602

Pros: Huge hard drive (500GB); Excellent memory (4GB); Very good processor (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor at 2.0GHz; Excellent bright screen with rich colors; Very good, comfortable, backlit keyboard; Very good touch pad; Fingerprint reader for easy log on.

Cons: Speakers are really really poor quality; I don't know why Toshiba added this kind of horrible speakers for such a great laptop!

Summary: You get so many features for the price you are paying! You won't get as many from other laptop makers. Except for the poor speaker quality, the laptop is excellent! Good battery life up to 4.5 - 5 hours; light and thin; sturdy construction.

This is an update for my review of September 24th. Had this laptop for about 1 1/2 months now; works great! Great portable machine; I take it to school almost every day. Very good at multitasking because of good RAM and fast processor.

The speaker quality can be increased using several customizations in Windows: Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Realtek High Definition Audio Properties>Enhancements: I added bass and now the quality is good.
