BROKE TWICE IN THREE MONTHS
I loved this computer for the first week. Then, it died.Just blackout died completely. When I took out the battery, it started right up.Two months later it broke again.Same thing but the battery trick didn't work this time. When I took it in, they said the hard drive was gone.They couldn't even recover any of the data.Getting it repaired took ten days after many, many phone calls to Apple to get me on an expedite list, because the hard drive was on back order!
An amazing laptop!!!
Pros;
FROM A WINDOWS USER.GRADE A FOR MAC OS, B FOR HARDWARE
My first Mac. Switching is like learning to drive a right hand drive car.A little frustrating at times but the MAC OSX is Very well designed and intuitive and user friendly.The upcoming Windows Vista looks a lot like a MAC OS.

Thousands of MacBooks experiencing random shut downs
My MacBook started RSDs last Friday the 13th after using it for 2 months. It's very frustrating to be working on something or reading a web page and all of the sudden the screen goes black. Then you have to restart and it doesn't even want to start right away. I also sometimes get RSD after powering up and logging into my user account and when waking it from sleep. For the record, I ordered this from another online source, not Amazon.First it took a month to even recieve my MacBook. When I did recieve it, It had a lazy pixel and now has 3. Then I had trouble with the super drive, it refused to open or eject a CD I put in. Now RSD. Fortunately I procrastinated taking it to the Genius Bar otherwise I would have been in there 3 times getting it serviced. Making an appointment has not been easy, I've been trying for 2 days (I still don't have one), maybe they are getting an over load of MacBooks in for service. I talked to tech support and they said they are aware of the problem and I need to take it in for service.Ya think ? Well they have been made aware because this has been going on for a few months and there are thousands of complaints about RSDs and the super drive defects. There's even a web site devoted to the RSD problem started by a disgruntled consumer. If you do a google search on MacBook random shut downs, you'll get tons of links with info and complaints on this. Or go to Apple's Support discussions pages.Supposedly the heatsync and logic board need replacement, which may or may not help. Some people in the message boards have complained that they started getting RSDs soon after getting the parts replaced.Supposedly the latest production MacBooks will have the new parts.
REFRAIN FROM BUYING THIS COMPUTER!
Okay, now I have been a faithful Mac user forever.But since buying the new Macbook, I have been nothing but frustrated and furious with Apple and Macs.I am a college student at USC and have been without a computer 7 or my 9 weeks at school.It is stressful enough being in your first year of college, without having to spend hours on the phone with apple and having to send off your NEW computer to be repaired SEVERAL TIMES!
good...besides the one shutdown
I got my macbook three weeks ago. I like the new macbook. But i also experienced a major shut down, out of nowwhere, like the very next week. Nothing worked.It took a day or two to get it to work again. But that was the only major issue, so far, hopefully!The keyboard needs a little getting used to. All the other features are pretty neat, though. ... Read more

The Toshiba A-Series needs to evolve from this underpowered slump
The Toshiba A-Series has so much unused potential; most of which comes from their target market of college students and budget professionals. That being said, there is a lot this laptop has going for it, and a lot that still makes me question Toshiba's motives. The thing that this laptop does right, it florishes in, but the things that aren't up to par, are way under what they should be. I'll break down the pros and cons.

full of bulls...overpriced gimmicky gadget
4 stars for neat factor, 0 stars for price.in 2006 you now know why sony sucks at portable electronics, they not only missed the boat, they still think their original sony cassette walkman is still the bomb.for half the price you can pick up any smart phone with ten times the features. file this under mini-disc, memory stick, and beta along with the soon to be defunct blu-ray.a strong brand getting weakened by its own products... who's in charge there anyway???(although for $50 to $99 i can see this item flying out the door.)

Best Skype Phone
This device gets a lot of critism for limited feature, and that is true.HOWEVER, this is the best Skype phone on the market.I bought it and then lowered by cell phone bill.Since it cost as much and any other Skype wi-fi portable phone, just think of more as a high-featured skype phone than a low-featured communicator.Definatly worth the purchase.
Good Wi-fi Connectivity But a Caveat
The audio quality using SKYPE is very, very good. Battery life is so far exceptional, particularly with regard to the Mylo as an mp3 player.But what is troublesome so far has been my inability to make video that plays acceptably by the device.I have used PSP Video 9 and InterVideo to Go to produce mp4 video which the player invariably plays, but the end result is a pixellated catastrophe.Playing the same mp4 files with QuickTime causes no such problems. I have downloaded mp4 files made by Sony's proprietary Image Converter 2 Software; these work well in the Mylo. ... Read more

My black Macbook
This is my 2nd Mac laptop, my first being a 14' white iBook that served me very well for 2+ years. This new Macbook pretty well addresses all of my "small" wishes and complaints with the iBook I had. Love the sleek black profile and lightness, and especially the glossy screen that's VERY wide versus very TALL. Most anything you may wish to watch these days via iTunes or DVD movies, etc are formatted wide anyway. The keys are GREAT.. durable and low-form-fitted towards the base of the machine. They barely click when used. I do not like to hear a "tap tap tappity" when folks are on their keyboards, even myself! :D Everything looks good on this monitor.
Great Product and Great Rebate
Based on all the previous reviews, you can tell this is a great laptop.I just wanted to comment on how good Amazon was on processing the rebate.I have just about given up on products that offer rebates (i.e. I either miss the UPC Code, the receipt wasn't the original, etc.).However, Amazon provided constant updates and the check arrived in the time frame given by Amazon.I am glad I bought this product through Amazon and would trust them again with a product offering a rebate.

Awesome notebook... just don't buy it from Amazon.
I bought this MacBook to replace a 12" PowerBook G4 that died on me a few months ago, and let me just say - I absolutely love it. The black is SLEEK, and the performance is great.

Well designed,but poorly made. Sorry, it's a "cheap Sony"
It's a well designed but relatively poorly made notebook.The LCD screen is beautiful and the stereo is impressive. The design and display are totally "Sony". However, the external material is very cheap. The body shows a visible bending with just a little push by fingers.

Be Careful with this Laptop
I have to be up-front here - I bought a different model Toshiba - the M105-S3041, from Amazon last month.This laptop, the M105-S3064, uses the same case and display as my laptop.I was initially very happy with it.However, I must caution any potential buyers of two issues.First, the powerinlet on the back of the laptop isn't sufficiently reinforced and can be deformed if you are not careful.I have been careful with mine but somehow I damaged it and I just had to use a jeweler's screwdriver to get the power plug inserted into the back of the laptop.The power supply still charges the battery - but the plug is now a loose fit in the back of the laptop.Second - through normal use I now have two different sets of dead pixels on the display.One looks like two pixels - the other looks like three.This is the ninth laptop (one Toshiba, six Dells, one H-P, and one Compaq) I have purchased for myself or my family (two daughters in college) and this is the ONLY system which I have discovered any dead pixels.For the price (mine was $749) these are otherwise great little laptops - just be forewarned.

Verdaderamente la recomiendo
despues de checar varios equipos de varias marcas, checando componentes y toda la cosa esta fue una exelente opcion, es compacta, ligera, la pila dura bastante, y la verdad su precio es justo por los componentes que la integran.

I do not reccomend this item or Toshiba for that matter
I purchased this notebook from BestBuy on a spur of the moment because I had been looking for a replacement for my HP which was old and I was afraid of HP since they merged with Compaq (junk). I had it for about 2-3 months when I tried to burn a couple of CDs and the DVD super multi drive died. I brought it to the only local service provider for Toshiba and they sat on it for three or four weeks before they anounced: "you have a bad DVD drive" (genius). Then they call back weeks later and say they can't get a new drive from Toshiba for at least another 3 weeks. Now were talking getting my notebook back in about two months total to fix a problem that should not have happened in the first place. ... Read more

I absolutely LOVE this computer!
I bought this little laptop because I have a large "desktop replacement" 17" widescreen also which has become too large to bring to meetings, classes or seminars I may go to and I noticed many other executives using this Sony TX model so when I received it I was pleasantly surprised at the weight, the outstanding color and brightness and I get tons of comments on how practical and helpful it is in meetings! I bought another one recently for my husband as I originally bought him a Sony UX which is too small and not very practical which I'm now returning and he absolutely loves his Sony TX too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!You can get add-on memory directly from [...] for a great price too!

Great portable computer
I got this computer about a week ago and I absolutely love it!It is incredibly small while still being practical.Probably not a great computer for anyone with limited vision, but otherwise perfect.Great for anyone who needs to take their computer with then without adding a ton of weight.Perfect for students to take to class.Highly recomended.

Great machine, ugly keyboard
Got the machine today. Great machine. A little slow the transfer to disk but the keyboard is dark grey with black keys. You can't see them if you do not use a head lamp. Thre only solution, black stickers with white letters. The guy who designed it should have been drunk.... My FE590G has white keys with black letters, perfectly legible. ... Read more

Superb product from Apple
This is really a great prdouct from Apple. It's fast and beautiful ! I love my MacBook Pro.
Hey, what else would you expect from Apple!
Great design, fast processor and a fantastic OS.
Don't Buy
Don't buy the MacBook Pros. Here's my experience: I bought a MacBook Pro a few months ago and it was dead-on-arrival. I immediately had it replaced with my current MacBook Pro, which also turned out to be defective. I sent it in for repairs through my local Apple store to Apple's repair facility in Texas. Unfortunately for me, the defective part is the logic board (the motherboard on this notebook) and that part is on backorder, which I can only assume to be the case because of the demand for this part for other defective MacBook Pros. Apple's repair facility has had my notebook for more than four weeks now, and even after numerous phone calls to Apple's service center, I still don't have my notebook. My advice is to stay away from the MacBook Pros until Apple figures out why so many of them are unreliable (known problems include, but are not limited to, excessive heat and noise from the MacBook Pros). Just check Apple's official discussion forums and see for yourself. ... Read more
