Easy to set up
This laptop is incredibly easy to set up and takes about twenty minutes to get right into the computer for use (including setting up your network and registering the laptop itself).
The keyboard is soft touch and doesn't make a whole lot of noise when typing (I'm typing on it now). For me, this is a huge advantage as I use the laptop in the living room with my family and as a very fast typer I get the odd complaint about the click-click-clicking of the keys. You do become very aware that the keyboard is all one entity as it bends every time you hit a key, and this takes a little getting used to.

Review 2 : Nice Bit of Kit
You're getting a 17" screen at a bargain price, but to keep the price down Toshiba only give you 4GB RAM and a 320GB HDD. However, the upside is that you get USB3 and a very nice screen indeed.
My less than 2 year old Samsung 17" has been a great disappointment to me, developing major faults after a year or so, so I was happy to get this machine with my preferred screen size of 17" which comes at a relatively bargain price. The HDD size was a definite compromise, especially when my photo files alone are around 240GB, but that's why some bright spark invented cheap external HDDs.
My first impression on opening the box was that the laptop was relatively light, given the size. When switched on for the first time, I definitely felt that the screen was brighter and clearer than I was used to.
