"So far, I really enjoy using this computer. I love the backlit keyboard. I think it's a great feature. The computer runs very fast; practically no lag. It's great! This is my first Toshiba computer, but I wonder what took me so long to purchase a Toshiba."

"In most cases you get what you pay for. In this case it is a steal, it has the processing speed to play the newest games and does not cost as much as most gaming laptops."

"Great powerful laptop; selected for the solid feel of the keyboard, feature / price ratio, and reputation of Toshiba laptops. I looked at and physically checked out all of the competition before buying. This laptop was the best value with the best solid keyboard. All the competing laptops had flimsy keyboards."

"I originally got this computer in February but then Intel recalled the chipset (Sandy Bridge) as being faulty. This replacement has the -X to indicate that it is the replacement version with the new chip. This computer really flies through anything I throw at it. I like editing photographs and compared to my old computer which is several years old-it is lightning fast. Can be doing several things at once and notice that the cpu is only 10-15% utilized. The Harmon Kardon speakers are excellent. I don't think you can get another laptop with as good sounding speakers as the Harmons that come on Toshiba laptops. I also enjoy the backlit keyboard. I don't play any games that demand lots of processing power but I think this computer would handle most of anything because of the graphics card that also comes with this model. It is anot an entry level card that is only good for emails and surfing the net. It has a bit of "meat" to it. I recommend that you consider this computer when looking in the price range of this model."

"This is a feature-rich laptop. Our other laptop is at least 10 years old, so when we got this one we were blown away. It has all the features we needed, plus a Bluray player and an HDMI outlet. Besides using it on the go, we use it to stream Netflix movies to our HDTV and the quality is terrific, much better than the Bluray player in our entertainment center. Other reviews have mentioned that the battery life is poor, but so far we haven't needed to use it more than a couple of hours in areas where we coudln't plug it in."

A665-S5183X DON'T BE SO MODEST May 07, 2011

"-------Background: I'm recently retired out of the Army Signal Corps. Meaning, I'm fairly tech savvy and familiar with electronics/technology being my interest and passion. I'll leave my background at that. In my review, I compare this system to the iconic MAC because I find it to be a well respected and quality product. Im most familiar with the Macbook Air-MBA (2010 2nd gen) and Macbook Pro-MBP (2011 MBP 13 i5) that I tried before settling down with this Toshiba A665-S5183X. ---Battery Life:First of all, I purchased this laptop under the impression that battery life would be terrible and I accepted that considering it's an i7 2nd Gen. What Toshiba does not tell you is that there is an eco-boost system built in to power down all the high end and power hungry components. The 2.55 hour battery life rating is with intense use such as gaming i.g. Star Craft 2. You can easily get 3.5-4.5hours of productivity out of this system using Microsoft Office Suite applications such as Power-Point or Word ---Sound Quality:The sound quality is the best I've heard on any system, including the more recent MBA and MBP. The range of the sound is full with bass and no crackling. To emphasized the sound quality, the sound can be amplified loud. On the MBA and MBP, I had to use a program to boost the sound when watching Netflix, no problems with this Toshiba. ---Build quality: It's a block, but not too bad considering how high end it is. The system is just under 5lbs and is solid to the feel and I can pick it up with one hand without flex. The components of the system are laid out well within the chassis with plenty of air-vents for adequate airflow. The system runs impressively cool and quite when it's not under a high load. The finish is deep textured plastic that will literally take you rubbing it across the payment to ruin/scratch it; Toshiba calls the finish Fusion x2. It looks professional and straight forward. Anyone with realistic expectations will be happy with the chassis and durability of this laptop in addition to the legendary reliability of Toshiba products ---Screen:Bright!!! Im extremely impressed with the display. It is as bright as that on the new Macbook Pros. I keep the brightness on just past half of the maximum during the day. The images arent as vivid of that as a MAC, but there is more quality in shades such as blacks when watching videos; MBA did not have this problem. ---Keyboard/Trackpad:The back-lit keyboard is beautiful and full with textured palm rests. There is no shortage of night-lighting on the comfortable and responsive chick-let keyboard. Even the Satellite logo lights up in addition to a lighted bar across the touch pad. The multi-gesture touch-pad is more responsive than any system Ive use to exclude a MAC. The left and right keys on the track-pad look and feel cheap. They are responsive, but compared to the rest of the laptop, the just appear to be metallic-coated plastic. ---Performance: Its handled everything Ive been able to throw at it. I have changed the Hard-Drive out for a 120GB Intel SSD. The system will handle regular gaming on medium to low settings without hiccup.With an SSD, this system is an efficient, fast and responsive power-house. ---Summary: All in all, this is the best system Ive used and have been satisfied with. I would have not believed this on looks alone until I gave it a try being that I was biased for a 2nd Gen i7 processor and it was the only one available with modest pricing when I returned the MACs. For quality and performance, this system/laptop is phenomenal."

"I have only owned one particular brand computer and decided to branch out and try a 'new' brand this time. I must say I'm not at all sorry I did. This Toshiba Satellite far exceeded my expectations in performance and ease of use."
