    I bought this computer but have been unpleased, 4months later it is in gettting repairs the hardrive is stuffed and it needs to be downgraded to XP from VISTA, . The computer cost me $800 to buy $200 for repairs, When running i am extremely pleased with this computer its fast works extremely well with the internet and is brilliant with updates,

    The good: . Good with updates . Extremely good with Internet .Fast speed . Easy to use . Reasonable price . Good computer for beginners

    The bad: . Comes With Vista . Needed repairs after 4months! . Easily fails . Needs a really good antivirus otherwise everything and anthing will get through .

Overview

The good:
  • Basic feature set at a basic price
  • Good screen
The bad:
  • A bit heavy
  • Base model includes Vista Home Basic — best to upgrade to Vista Home Premium
The bottomline:

The Toshiba Satellite L300 is the perfect budget laptop — simply designed and passable in performance.
