Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7815

Pros: I really love this computer. The screen is very large, it's nice to have a number pad, and the performance is better than I expected. Of course the price sweetens the deal. I've owned for several months, and besides a few driver updates, no problems!

Cons: The battery life isn't great, but it's not horrible, either. That's the only con I can really think of.

Summary: I own a small business and also play a few games online, and can manage both pretty darn well with this computer. It's got plenty of space to store all my business files as well as awesome having the number pad. It makes accounting a lot easier. The tech support through Toshiba's site was awesome, too, when I needed to find a driver update. The games I play online run almost flawless at the most demanding performance levels. It really is a great laptop, and I'm still confused as to why CNet gave it such a low rating? I wasn't even on a budget when I chose this one, and could have spent over $1000 on a laptop, but why? With this, you get almost all of the features for $700 or less.
