Jump Lists
New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents,
pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump
List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar.
(You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump
List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet
Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player
12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a
favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists
don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide
quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail
messages or playing music.
Improved Windows Taskbar
In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the
taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you
can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging.
Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a
taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or
programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the
window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail
previews--a big time saver.
Snap
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on
a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake.
Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle
again--and your windows are back.

With the 2.1 GHz Intel Pentium T4300 dual-core processor, you'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. And its Intel 64 architecture is also ready for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, and offers enhanced performance through improved virtual memory. It has a 1 MB L2 cache and an 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
greatReviewed by M. Blankenship, 2010-03-04
Easy to set up and very fast. My wife and I are in our 50's and this is our first experience setting up a laptop and it was a snap. The screen resolution is really good and the number keyboard is a real convienence.
The more I use it, the more I love itReviewed by Spinner, 2010-03-04
I needed to update my home computer and the main decision I had to
make was whether I wanted a new desktop, an all in one, or a
laptop. I decided on a laptop (and in particular this laptop) for
several reasons. The first reason was the freedom a laptop offers.
This beats both the desktop and the all in one.
The second reason was the ability to connect it to my television.
Again this beats both the desktop and the all in one. Just so you
know, my wife doesn't consider a desktop to be suitable décor for
the living room.
These positives outweighed the negatives. For one thing with a
laptop, all your eggs are in a basket that could be dropped or
forgotten on the subway. Also, if the LCD screen goes bad you're
likely to drop some serious cash on replacing it.
The biggest negative I feel toward laptops is the keyboard and
touchpad. The laptops I occasionally use at work have scrunched up
keys, and no number keypad. Also, the touchpads need to have their
itches scratched in just the right way or they don't move the
cursor the way you want them to.
In deed, the first step in choosing this Toshiba was going to the
big box store and practicing typing on all the models with number
keypads. I made the least number of typing errors with the Toshiba.
After that, I looked at the features and the price. After that, I
read through the reviews and finally, I decided to buy it from
Amazon.
After using this laptop for nearly a month, I'd have to say the
more I use it, the more I love it. I do have minor annoyances with
the touchpad. Probably every laptop has this issue and I guess I
could mess around with the sensitivity and such, but it's not such
a big deal to me. It's really cool to watch a movie instantly on my
laptop or hook up a VGA cable and watch it on my flat screen
TV.
The last little nick I want to mention is the fact that when I
first got online with this laptop, I noticed it slowed down and
eventually stopped working. I shut down the computer and
immediately saw the problem. There were 10 Windows updates! I could
not (and dared not) stop the installation process. The first 4
updates took nearly an hour to install; the rest took about 20
minutes. I couldn't use my computer for nearly an hour and half.
It's a bummer when you have a new toy and Mr. Softy doesn't let you
play with it.
I struggled with the decision to give this laptop 4 stars instead
of 5. I truly love this machine, and I highly recommend it. The
minor annoyances of the touchpad and a batch of updates for Windows
are certainly not unique to this machine, none the less, they do
detract from an otherwise stellar machine.
very good laptopReviewed by F. Walker, 2010-02-23
I have been very happy with my purchase. This laptop has been user friendly and I use it daily.
Great Laptop for the MoneyReviewed by Sue Davidson, 2010-02-23
I have in the past, purchased Dell Laptop Computers and HP Laptops. I purchased this Laptop for my daughter, who prevously only purchased Dell and Mac Products. I must say, she is totally satisfied with this unit. Even though it is just a 15.6 monitor, it still has the numeral keypad on the side. As of yet, the system has given her no problems whatsoever. She is a graphic artist and even though most of her work is done on her Desktop Mac, she has had no problems working with her projects on the Toshiba Laptop. She and I would definitely recommend the Toshiba laptop to anyone.
