Does anyone know how good this is? Because me and Toshiba are f***in' done professionally. I'm not going through the same stress that I did with my last laptop and this replacement A305-S6860 is acting up so I'm selling it off. For the Dell Inspiron it states:

At any point that they list 'store videos and pictures' as a bonus, avoid it.

man i got an HP with a better processor and the rest equivalent stats for 550. do you really want 17inch and a bluray drive to watch blurays on a 17 inch screen? if so go for it, else there are tons of "good" and "fast" notebooks that can be had for ~600.

Well, pretty much I would like something cheap that can play my Blu's off my external drive. Since Toshiba is the s**ttiest laptop maker, I cannot function with this replacement. They gave me a Satellite A305-S6860 and I'm planning on selling it used for about $725 - $650. A new one runs for about $900.
