| Jump Lists
New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music. Improved Windows Taskbar
In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver. Snap
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds: - Write: 24x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, 8x DVD-R, 8x DVD+R, 6x DVD-R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+RW, 5x DVD-RAM
With the Labelflash functionality, you can burn high-resolution, high-contrast pictures on the label side of DVD discs using the same laser used for data recording. Enjoy transparency and high-quality not found in traditional printable media. All you need is a Labelflash DVD disc to start labeling without a printer.
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.

 Nice computer November 30, 2009
L. Castillo (Henderson, KY)

This is my 6th Toshiba Satellite laptop. Bought first one in 1998 when I was driving a truck. Have never had a problem with customer service with Toshiba as one other person has said. Lost my hard drive somewhere between Chicago and San Antonio, when I got to San Antonio on a Friday afternoon at 3:00.pm they got me in at 4:00.pm and it was fixed and I was ready to go by 6:00.pm The only time I had to wait on a part was in Charlotte, NC on a Friday for a new screen and I was at my sister's house anyway and it was ready to go by 10:00 .am., since it was all under warranty never paid a cent for repairs or parts. I am happy with this laptop because I do like the bigger screen. The one drawback that I can see is the touch pad because it is in an awkward position but you can fix that by buying a mouse and turning the touch pad off. Simple easy solution to a minor problem. The last one cost $3600.00 5 yrs ago and had a lot less on it so the price is reasonable. I would recommend this product for someone who likes a big screen.
first laptop a standout January 16, 2010
sdhacker (south dakota)
this is the first laptop I have owned so my experience can only relate to a product I have. Purchased this computer for under 500.00 a week ago and have been thrilled. Has a great screen and a large keyboard that works well for an average typist. Delete button is strangely placed, but the keyboard reacts well at the factory settings. I have not found the touch pad to be in the way of typing as some have said. The touch pad is nice because of the texture and the fact it is virtually invisible when you look at the computer. It shows no fingerprints of any kind. The rest of the computer does pick up prints that are easily taken care of.The screen is a bit reflective in some settings and may work a little better with a filter or just change the backround of your pages and it helps. It is a bit large so it is not going to fit most standard briefcases. I have found several sleeves that work well and a bag that works. I take it to work and although a 15.6 would be a bit easier on the back...the large screen and great keyboard more than make up for it. Windows 7 has been great fun to learn and does provide some nice features. I run mozilla fiefox so i have told some features will not be optimized by not using IE. Set up was easy for home wifi a couple of other places have required a bit more work. Not sure how well the webcam works, not a big point for me. It is a beautiful product to look at, feels solid and has worked well for me.
 Good laptop for the non-roadwarrior November 24, 2009

I purchased this laptop as a replacement for my 5+ year old Dell Inspiron. Having recently had some bad experiences with Dell, I decided to try a Toshiba.
It's a good laptop for someone who isn't a road warrior-- both the size and relatively short battery life make it less than ideal for lots of travel. Both of these problems stem from its very large screen (big screens tend to consume a lot of power), which is its biggest selling point. The large screen is great for work and watching films.
On the down side, the built-in speakers provide poor sound quality, which is not a problem if you use head phones.
Another minor drawback is the mousepad, which is positioned in such a way that your wrist is likely to tap it when typing, causing the cursor to jump inappropriately. You can tweak some settings on the mousepad's sensitivity to minimize this effect.
Pretty decent laptop November 24, 2009

Pros:
* 17,3 inch flat screen!!.
* Fast!.
Cons:
* The originall battery life, just 2 1/2 hours.
* Webcam low def.
* Office's 60 days trial.
* Not pre installed antivir.
In general I'm happy with my laptop. Most of the cons are things that I can fix or buy.

Toshiba Satellite L555D-S7930 TruBrite 17.3-Inch Black Laptop
Most of it works great, but the main reason I bought the laptop was to do our church powerpoint slides. It ran great for a minute on the powerpoint projector, but then kept losing the signal and we'd lose it all and have to reboot. I updated the display driver and was really hoping that was it. No such luck. We've ended up having to go back to the old laptop that that can't even run Powerpoint 2007 which is what my desktop has...so I have to convert it all when I upload to the church's computer. I will try another laptop and hope this time it will all work the way it's supposed to. I'm hoping this is the only style that has this issue and that the other Toshiba's of this size will work for me. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.
