Good: An amazing laptop. Fast, long battery life, performance of a laptop and convenience of a tablet

Bad: Perhaps the fan noise?

Comment: I bought this laptop when it first came out, five years ago. From the day I got it I knew it was the best computer to me in every way. I am twelve now, and have had this since I was seven. My Dad also had one for ages, and then gave that one to my brother after four years of continuous use. I have to admit, I did modify it a bit, I put 2 gigabytes of RAM in there, but still, even with the preinstalled ram, it never lagged, and could run at least 20 programs at once, but that was a bit heavy on the cpu. Recently, after accidentally held town the task manager or windows security button, as Toshiba call it, I managed 437 windows open at once, all responding and all with moving elements. The fact that it is light weight, means that I can carry it around and us it for school. It will fit easilly in my school bag, and with it high resolution screen, I was able to plug a microscope into the USB port and after putting it in tablet mode, I was able to hang it up with a few photo pins on the science lab wall. This convinced my teacher to get one. I can't really think of many major drawbacks, but people say my fan is too loud, but I fixed that with a BIOS upgrade.
