"For those over 50 who need reading glasses, the smaller print size on the 14 inch screen is not good. I had a 15 inch laptop before this and find I have to strain to see the words on my new 14 inch Toshiba, even with my reading glasses on. Also the speakers are pathetic. How was that overlooked? But good speed with the powerful Core 2."

"In general terms my computer meets my expectations, but I think we can become better off. The operating system (windows vista) takes many resources and I do not get the maximum performance of my computer, I hope to receive a free update to get the new operating system (windows 7).
It gets hot, almost my PC can't use on my legs.
Talking about battery life, is long, i can use my computer more than 5 hours.
Speaker quality is good, but i think that it could be better.
My PC is lightweight, sometimes i need to check in my bag if i have my PC."

The only thing I can think of is I thought it would run faster, But I'm thinking it's Vista. I hear VIsta runs slower than Xp and I'm starting to think it's true. But I'll be changing to 7 soon so that should do the trick."

Nice machine, June 23, 2009
By Rivet

Overall rating:

"Lots of good things! like illuminated keyboard and speed.
Bad things:
1. The florescent light in my cubicle overhead panel reflects off the keyboard and makes the keys unreadable--never had this problem with a dark gray Del keyboard. So I have to leave the cubilce light off and rely on the ceiling lights behind me. The illuminated keys help some (and I know I will appreciate the illumination in other venues).
2. I hate the side hook ups for LAN, power and mouse. These properly belong on the back edge. Their side position creates an ugle and congested area on each side of your beautiful Satellite E105-S1402. These side hook-ups are TERRIBLY POSITIONED.
3. I would much prefer a taller screen--it would eliminate a lot of scrolling down.
4. I would appreciate a better (more complete Resource Guide)."

"Ok so this thing is smaller than most, that is a good thing for a student like me on the go. The number one problem I have with this thing is rather simple, the touch mousepad and click absolutely are a pain.
It is just hard to use, clicking is a pain, as well as holding down either mouse button to say for example scroll. Perhaps it is the lack of a lasting impression but the touch pad is misleading. over all I don't like the set up, along with the touch buttons, which on one hand are cool. Except should you rest your hands on your laptop or attempt to scroll you can end up muting yourself."

For this one, after narrowing down size and features, the factors that gave it the edge were attractive physical design, light weight, backlit keyboard, and a pre-loaded 15 month anti-virus subscription. Toshiba was also a longstanding brand I hadn't yet tried.
Out-of-box experience was flawless, and I was up and running smoothly. After a month of use, the unexpected plus has been battery life - significantly better than anything I've had before, and a very crisp display."

"I read a lot of reviews and got a little scared about getting this because of the poor speakers. i download a lot of music so i thought speakers were important but then i realized they aren't. true the speakers are kinda bad but i didnt by a laptop to listen to music, just download it. i am pleased with everything about the comp especially the backlighting on the keyboard and awesome battery life. it does get a little hot but i am thinking a simple cooling station will make this the perfect purchase. i am very pleased."

"I'm really happy with my purchase. So easy to use, and I thought I would hate the new Microsoft applications, but that wasn't the case. Love the features of having a CD player, plus the ease of which you can download photos from the memory card is fantastic. Lots of memory and the battery life is supurb. I love the light up keyboard feature!"

I have remained with Toshiba for their outstanding service/repair. I have had few problems with my laptops and with heavy travel and constant use they hold up very well."

"I purchased this laptop based on the performance and battery life. The good is the battery life, achieving over 4 hours of usable life. Also the performance is very good and excellent monitor. The Bad, the buttons below the keyboard are small and sometimes difficult to properly push, I've even had them stick a few times. The Ugly is there is NO Video output other than the HDMI, therefore I cannot not attached to any LCD projectors unless they have the new digital format. Also, this unit is not setup for use with a docking station that provides AC power."

"I was so very pleased and surprised to see Toshiba come out with a laptop of this caliber. Historically, I purchase Vaio for the look and feel and the features. However, this time around, I looked beyond my norm and was surprised by this model. I have friends who have purchased Toshiba laptops in the past and have not been too impressed with the laptops overall (large, clunky, heavy and ugly).
The E105 meets my aesthetic requirement while packing professional features."

"This is my third Toshiba laptop. Obviously, this is the best one that I have gotten so far. I admit that the price for this one was more reasonable than the first one I bought 6 years ago, but I won't hold Toshiba responsible for the market price of laptops. An excellent product for a reasonable price, kudos to Toshiba."

Didnt like the way the mouse button sound like and need to press harder, probably why it sounds like that, battery seems loose at times. Overall this is a very good laptop for its price."

Good laptop but some things I don't like, January 11, 2009
By quasarx1

"I love Toshiba, and this seems like a decent computer so far, but there are some things I don't like. Some of the major problems are....
I do NOT like the fact that the touchpad is raised to the same level as everything else. When you type (which I do a lot of typing on my computer) part of your hand rests on the touchpad causing the mouse to move when you do not want it to. The mouse moves around the screen when you type and it is quite easy to accidentally click on something when you did not mean to. It is also annoying to see the mouse move around when you are typing when you are not meaning to touch the touchpad. This is a HUGE problem. Also, the right and left click buttons under the touchpad are super LOUD when you click them. Why are these so loud???? It makes clicking on something a chore because they are so loud. I also do not like the fact that there is a fingerprint identication button or slot in the middle of the right and left click buttons. Therefore, if you need to left click on something, you have to reach way over past the finger identification slot. I personally do not use the finger ID slot because I believe that it is just another excuse for "Big Brother" to watch you even though people are dumb enough to believe that it really has to do with safety and security, but that is another story. The computer also gets quite hot after 1 hour of use, but that is common for Toshiba. It does have good qualities but the flaws listed above have me considering taking mine back tomorrow."

"This has been one great laptop. We have been researching laptops for a while and finally decided on this one. I am really glad about our decision. It has a great clear screen, love the backlit keyboard feature, and has a battery life longer than most. We also purchased the extended 3 year accidential warranty with it. That covers everything!! Even the battery. We would recommend this laptop to anyone who has been trying to decide which one to buy."
