I am surprised that you had such bad luck with Toshiba. I bought my first Toshiba laptop based on input from a client, who was a drilling engineer in the middle east. He had used every brand, in the desert on the hood of a pickup truck and the toshiba was the only one that never failed him. My first one performed flawlessly and I dropped my second one from a car rental counter in Logan Airport(Boston) about 41/2 feet to a tile floor. It kept on ticking like the they said in the old Timex commercials. I am now on my 3rd one, spanning about 11 years and have passed the old ones onto my daughter and grand daughter and they are still working, although my grand daughter is complaining about windows 98, which I upgraded from the original windows 95.
I am now on my 3rd and have yet had to call customer support, so I can't attest to whether they are good or bad. I am currently thinking of replacing my desk top with a tablet laptop and it will be a Toshiba. I only wish I had as luck with printers. After buying HP printers for about 20 years. My recent experience with there multi-purpose 7130 and worse yet the company posture, forced me, a person who doesn't like to change to try a new company. I picked an Epson Laser. Please say a prayer for me!

I could not agree more, about the Toshiba Laptop, and also about owning a Tablet PC. I am about to head out and meet a client to sign a Purchase Offer (which I perform on my Toshiba Tablet, then e-mail to the Seller right from our meeting). I have a Toshiba M200 tablet which I love and have never had a problem with. My wife owns a Toshiba M400 (current model) which she also enjoys. My last laptop was a Toshiba Satellite 5500 which my assistant is now using (I did have a hard drive crash on that one, but that can happen with any computer & I did not lose any data). I'll personallly have no problem going with another Toshiba when ready. Hope that helps somehow.
