Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4036 Is $519.99 a decent price for this laptop? Is this the best price I will find for this laptop?

First, if you are set on a 14 inch laptop like I was, this one is the deal. You can find better pricing on 15.6 inch lappys but generally they aren't as powerful. They still may meet your needs as the tendency is to overbuy. Look at the top 100 list for amazon computershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/ref=pd_dp_ts_pc_1.Second, buried in the reviews for this laptop is a coupon code for an extra 50 bucks off. I don't know if it's still valid. Then the laptop is 470. That is what I paid and I feel like I got a very good deal. My review is "So who needs an Ipad?" by TooLazyToDriveAround.

I called Toshiba support. In short I was very satisfied with them. I called last Friday, my battery arrived in 4 days(two business days). The new battery pegged the Toshiba battery health meter at "good" (that's as good as it gets) I haven't tested the laptop on battery power yet. Toshiba charges your visa $129 and credits the account when the bad batery is returned. Return shipping is provided by Toshiba. Very Smooth. That was my experience. YMMV. That was my first ever call to Toshiba support.

I emailed Amazon asking if I can use the coupon even though I could not locate it and they gave me the discount. I have been very satisfied with Amazon customer service.

Too bad you didn't notice sooner, but many new Toshiba laptops come with 'fair' battery health, so you want to get it replaced. I got mine replaced on a different model than yours within days after purchase. The replacement shows "good" health like it should. Unlike other problems, you don't have to send in the laptop. After you get your replacement, you just send back the old one with the label they give you.

Thanks so much for this information. You have been very helpful in my decision making.CJ

I just ordered a Toshiba L645D-S4036, and the specs say there is no port to plug in a modem. Does this mean that I will have to get wi-fi installed in my home in order to use the internet on my laptop when I'm at home? Sorry to sound ignorant--I am!

So basically the only problem with this laptop is if it breaks your screwed because Toshiba support is garbage?

The model # is P875-S7200, 6GB, 750 GB RAM, Harmon/Kardon Audio, DDR3, i5 with turbo-boost, 2.5GHz, if you get b4 01-31-13 you can go to windowsupgradeoffer.com and get windows 8 for free, but make your recovery disc first, that way if you DON'T like windows 8 you can go back to windows 7. This is an amazing laptop...I have anTouchsmart HP with Beats Audio, and a smaller laptop for work that's an HP too, but this Toshiba blows me away...It has textured silver finish which is beautiful, and shows no fingerprints, beautiful picture....I've always been an HP person, until now! Way to go toshiba you just found a new customer....you won't be disappointed...this system is amazing! If you have anymore qustions feel free to email me at simplylive08@live.com or K4V5L@MSN.COM

I believe that Tigerdirect has the same Asus laptop with almost identical specs, but it's listed at one hundred dollars more than Amazon. On top of that, there's tax (at least if you're from TX like me). I ordered from Amazon on the chance that they may be in stock again. Haven't seen any other deals like this one unfortunately.Edit: Here's the tigerdirect one I was talking about:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7124324&csid;=ITD&recordsPerPage;=10&body;=REVIEWS#tabsMost notably, that one has a blu ray player and a 2-year warrenty rather than the 1 year that Amazon has. I'm still waiting for Amazon though! I believe that Tigerdirect has the same Asus laptop with almost identical specs, but it's listed at one hundred dollars more than Amazon.

Fyi, for all of you purchasing from AAA MART; beware!! They have horrible reputation with this particular laptop. They also bully people to remove negative feedback and any claims against them. Good Luck!!

I saw this at Best Buy today for 1299.99 and bought it but now will return it because it's such a good price on here - even with the 4 year warranty. I think it's the best Samsung has in the 32 inch. If you want the 40inch, check out the 4035H. But I think it's the best in this price range, firstly, and in terms of the quality.

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

I gifted this laptop to my son so I don't have a great many answers ... however, I am certain that I read '64 bit' on the Toshiba website. Sure, I found the PC at Amazon, but then I went to the manufacturers website to check the nitty-gritties. I don't think I would have purchased a 32 bit ...

Yeah you are right from last 4 weeks prices at amazon are hovering between 1799 to 1899. Last weekend for couple of days BB decreased the price to 1799 when it was 1899 at amazon. But before i could get hold of the price they increased it back to 1999 (saturday midnight). Let see if it comes back down again by this weekend. I don't see amazon going below1 1799. The similar model LN46A860(Toc Blue) is being offered for 1599. Don't know why, but id prices don't settle may be i will go for this model. tech Specs are same.

= ( .. I wish the price would fall back down to $899. Or even better, go on sale like the other asus laptops on Amazon.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

I saw the 'Blu-Ray Drive' in the Technical Details as well.The laptop was priced $849.00 when I ordered it on 11-30-2010.The laptop was delivered (2 days late) on 12-11-2010 WITHOUT the Blu-Ray Drive. Just a regular DVD Drive.I checked on Amazon.com and there was no mention of Blu-Ray Drive anywhere (they must have removed it) and the laptop is now priced $729.99!Amazon customer service is denying they ever advertised that the product features a 'Blu-Ray'drive !!!

toshiba will charge you a lot for this. find a friend with this computer and ask them for a copywe have an extra copy (that we were charged for plus shipping) that we haven't opened...

I was wondering the same thing. The LN40B550, at $935, has a reasonable discount. I noticed that it took longer for Amazon to start shipping the B530, and BestBuy and Sears appear to often run out of that model, so maybe there is a shortage right now. (Perhaps Samsung is busy pumping out B550s instead?)

I recomend you the newer model (Toshiba Satellite S855-S5170). I love my computer but it aint a gaming computer. It has a intel graphic controller. When I try to play a game it kicks to the desktop.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".
