Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4100 14.0-Inch

Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4100 14.0-Inch Laptop - Black (Personal Computers) 
Being a builder of desktops that finally needed a laptop for school use, I knew the performance would be less for the price than that to which I was accustomed. For the price though the performance is adequate and even though Toshiba added some unnecessary software that seems to bog it down, you can remove it if you want. The keyboard and touchpad have a great feel compared to a lot of laptops I've used but the touchpad buttons are annoying with their loud clicking. Only thing extra I wish it had was a volume control button rather than just using the function keys. That said, the flash card function (fn keys) are convenient and make toggling power modes, wireless, mute, etc, super easy.

Oh and the speakers suck but what do you expect. Get some good headphones and get better sound without annoying people around you.

PS. There is a known issue with the Realtek wireless adapter driver so if you are having issues with it connecting and then dropping the connection every other minute just update it with the driver utility on Realtek's website for the 8188CE. Not a knock against Toshiba as it's not their fault but update it even though Windows says the driver is already up to date.
