Great Laptop For Portability/Performance Balance Dec 11, 2010
By Helloguy I bought this on a lightning deal at a great price and was going to sell it. I opened it and that was the beginning of the end for me. I really liked the look of the computer, the display and the keyboard layout. I know one of the reviewers mentioned the Wifi issue but I haven't had that problem. I have had 3 Toshiba laptops and had great experience with all 3 (in fact, sold the 2nd one to help pay for this one!). I am a student and this computer works great for what I need. It is light enough for me to carry in my backpack to school yet provide good performance (although I wouldn't recommend this for gaming purposes). Not that this is essential, but the Fusion X2 finish is really sharp! Compared to my old laptop, the battery life is a step up, I'd say I average 2.5 hours on NORMAL use (not the "everything off and the screen as dim as can be while processing nothing" battery test that is quoted in reference to battery life).
Yes one more thing! The speakers are outstanding for a 14" laptop. My wife and I regularly stream music, and the speakers provide loud, "non-tinny" sound.
Quick update for a few questions I saw...I do not see my fan running all the time. The keyboard is not backlit, unfortunately. Here is a quick list of Windows Experience numbers:
Processor 6.6 Memory 5.9 Graphics 4.5 Gaming Graphics 5.1 Primary Hard Disk 5.6

Sleek, yet powerful. Nov 30, 2010
By JCDEALS Just bought this couple of weeks ago. The delivery was as usual super fast and the packaging was perfect. It is a sleek and light weight laptop, yet powerful with the new line of Intel processor (I3). The graphics is good as well as the sound is terrific. I am a very happy customer and would recommend this to anyone.

Wonderful upgrade to my old Toshiba Dec 27, 2010
By RobertL Been wanting to buy a new laptop for awhile now and finally got a good Christmas discount here at Amazon.com. The whole buying and shipping process is always a breeze here I hardly shop anywhere else online now.
This Toshiba was bought to replace another four year-old Toshiba that has been a great machine for me. The old one is a 15.6 inch one, but I like this smaller one a lot more. I actually use my PCs as laptops, not on a desk or table, and this one balances just right on my leg. The display on this one is much brighter and easier to read for my old eyes. It's also not as hot ... the battery on the old one would feel uncomfortably hot on my leg at times.
I also like the keyboard. The current crop of larger Toshibas have a numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, so my hands always seem off-center to the left when typing. My wife has one of those and it drives me nuts. So, one of my selection criteria was no separate numeric keypad ... I'd never use it anyway.
The only thing I miss on the old one is Windows XP ... The Windows 7 Explorer in particular drives me nuts ... the price of progress, I guess.

Love this laptop Dec 31, 2010
By Tony Compared a lot of laptops for the last 30 days before I settled on this Toshiba Satellite M645-S4061. I have always had Dell computers and this is the 1st Toshiba I have even purchased. This one is to replace a Dell laptop purchased two years ago and continues to have issue with battery not charging. This laptop is very well designed with an attractive casing. Screen is bright and excellent resolution. Backlight in the Toshiba name plate and other areas is a nice touch. Speakers are best I have seen on a laptop. Runs very quite and not too heavy plus the 14" is the perfect size for home and school. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a high quality and affordable laptop.
