Comments about Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818:

Love everything about this portable personal computer(ppc). My brother has a 2 month old Dell, the same size, and he would rather use mine when he comes in from a business meeting/sale.
My boss really likes the display clarity and audio output. Though, we do occasionally hook it into the conference room audio system to get the most out of it. Laptop speakers aren't supposed to be Bose, Bowers&Wilkins, etc.

Comments about Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818:

Use mostly for surfing the net & watching videos. Grandson getting me hooked on games so that is occupying more time on this computer. Easy to use & never had any problems so far. My third Toshiba. For the price I don't think it can be beat.

Comments about Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818:

I use this laptop as a personal computer, for work (as an elementary school teacher), and for notetaking and projects in my master's degree classes. I have average technical skills, and this laptop is very user-friendly. Ergonomics are super. My only gripe is the relatively short battery life.
