Very good for basic computing, Plays full HD video flawlessly,
I purchased this computer from a big box store at a price point lower than is being offered here, so I will base my review on the lower price point. If I had paid the full retail that is listed here, I may have a different take on this computer…
First off, this computer is not a powerhouse. It is however substantially faster than My old computer (an original hp mini 1030nr) First off, I am nothing but impressed with the video playback of this computer. HD youtube videos play with no loss of frames, as do local hd videos (please note that this is a new cpu and hardware video acceleration is some what limited at this time, to make full use of hardware decoding you have to use windows media player or media player classic VLC does not play nice yet) The screen is bright and crisp, and it is a decent resolution (1366×768) The back light is even across the screen and overall the picture quality is excellent. The build quality of the whole laptop is good. This does not feel like a cheep budget laptop. The processor may not be great, however, it is perfectly suited for most daily tasks. Being a duel core processor, it is up to the task of multitasking. I have yet to bog it down, though I have honestly not pushed it yet. None the less, It handles an instant messenger, music, video, and the internet all at once with out missing a beat. Another nice thing about this computer is that unlike most similarly priced computers (mostly netbooks) this computer has a built in 8x dvd burner.
Now for some things I do not like about this laptop. First on my list is the lack of USB ports. Seriously Toshiba, only 2 usb port? This is 2011 not 1998! Another point of contention is the horrible mess of crap that comes pre-installed on this computer. Shame on you again Toshiba
It took about 2 hours to remove all the bloatware on this computer. Yet another thing that bothers me is the flaky on screen display for the fn keys. It works about 50% of the time. Lastly, the cpu is a major bottle neck for the video card in this laptop. If paired with a faster processor, this laptop would be much much faster, and capable of moderate gaming. I get the feeling that the c-50 processor/gpu combo is intentionally crippled so as not to compete with amd’s other offerings. I can only hope that the overclockers figure out how to unlock this cpu.
Overall this is a well made computer, and I would recommend it for some one who is looking for a budget computer that is capable of a full web experience including streaming hd video content. It is also more than up to the challenge of most computing except for gaming (though it will play older games often on high settings. I would also not want to use this computer for video editing or other cpu intensive applications. At nearly four hundred dollars, I feel you could do better, but at three fifty (the price I payed at a box store) you cant go wrong.
