Order Toshiba Satellite L305-S5961 15.4-Inch Laptop - Black/Grey

This is an awful machine.

The weakest point is where the power plugs into the laptop. It doesn't feel tight. One month after I bought it, the jack was loose inside the case, but it was still usable.

Two months after I bought it, the disk drive went south. I sent it in for repair, and it took 3 weeks. I was told that it would cost $250 to fix the power jack. I said not to that. When it came back, there was no OS on the disk, and it took 12 hours to load the OS from the CD's. I ran my own diagnostics, and saw that there were lots of disk errors. Back to repair again. This time it only took a week, but the disk was fine.

Four months after I purchased it, the computer would not charge. Called Tech Support, and the ordered me a new power supply and cord. But what I got was two cords, and no power supply. The packing slip said the power supply was shipped. I called tech support back, and the issue was "escalated". I was told the power supply was back-ordered. When I told him the tech checked before and said it was in stock, and the packing slip showed it was shipped I was told I was wrong. It was unknown when the b=power supply would be in stock. I waited a week, and called again. Same Crap. So I called back, and told them I wanted to send the laptop back in for repair. They said OK. A week later the laptop arrived back, with a replaced power supply. It worked.

Two months after that, the disk drive went again. That is the 3rd disk drive in six months.

I purchased a western digital drive from amazon, slapped it in, and everything is working.

I recently fixed the jack problem by buying a metal jack at radio shack for $2.99 and replaced it within an hour. The laptop was easy to take apart and the screw holes are all marked with the screw size. (I am technically inclined).

I would NOT purchase a Toshiba Laptop again. Bad tech support (I didn't know what I was talking about when I told them the power supply was shipped), there are TONS of Toshiba Laptops out there with power jack problems, and three disk drives within 5 months is a little much.Get more detail about Toshiba Satellite L305-S5961 15.4-Inch Laptop - Black/Grey.
