With all the goodies inside this machine, it is a value. It is very well built. The keyboard is top notch. The touch pad is among the best. The screen is huge and coloful, but no LED backlighting. The video card is great for media, and above average for gaming, but not a gamers first choice. The problem I had with this unit was unresolvable. It had a cooling system malfunction after 10 minutes of general use, and would not move past this error. I realize that not every unit has this issue, but the ones that do cannot be repaired. I acually believe the issue is with the Nvidia grafics card, but still requires a return. Instead of taking another chance on Toshiba, I went with an Asus G73JH-x3. They offer the best warranty in the business, and don't 3rd party it out like Toshiba. For the same price, you get a lot more in the Asus....1920x1080 res./ awesome cooling system/ much better grafics card (ATI 5870) / 8GB RAM/ LED backlit screen... Sorry Toshiba, but 1st impressions do count for something.
