Anyone order this within the original expedited Friday delivery window only to find they closed it hours earlier than stated? Only option was Monday delivery. Tried to get them to call me at 5pm on Wed, but nobody was home. I guess everyone called it a day early on Wed and Amazon support became short staffed.

Satelite 845 on Toshiba site currently lists at $799 (on sale there for $699)I checked it out there and appears to be virtually identical to the description of this one on Amazon, with only the suffix of the model number altered. So based on that this really is a deal though the suggested "list" price of this one appears to be $100 higher than the like item normally sells for at the Toshiba sight. In other words you can get this one for approx. $100 less with this deal here today.

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

There is no catch. My answer is based on my purchase a year ago. The deilvery and shipping were good, the laptop works fine. I think the price is reasonable because it is not much of the gaming laptops but rather your daily business use (or that's how I use it.) I love it :) I think the price might be 'cause its windows 8, when 8.1 is out already, but that is my assumption.

I haven't checked the MSRP, but it's listed for around $320 here (though out of stock) and it's available for less than $300 elsewhere, so I think it's safe to take it as one of those Amazon random-before-discount-prices.

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

That's right. I bought mine from Amazon in february and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I was worried since I live in Venezuela and the laptop might break down. I'm writing this review with my Asus. It's refurbished but runs and looks like new.Thank God.

yup, i guess they increased the price since its only newegg and amazon that has this laptop, plus amazon takes "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, so newegg took that as an opportunity to make some extra profit ( bastards)i cant afford to wait that long tho :(amazon might end up getting my extra $50... sigh...although... a friend of mine placed an order for this laptop from amazon... two weeks ago.. and he got it last week friday...so i guess it could take a lesser time than amazon claims it would.

Well shipments started March 4, I just got mine through Ebay and have to say this laptop will make those Alienware fans hate you for having such an awesome laptop for a cheaper price than theirs. Also through Ebay you can use the Bing.com Cashback program and save $165.00 off the $1695.99 price for the A1 and $127 off the $1595.99 for the A2.

My satellite crashes so many times that now I can blink right when it crashes. I've had this laptop for two years and they've been interesting. It's unbelievably fragile and I had to baby it to keep it in good shape. Right now, I have to get it repaired, again, for a processor failure. In my opinion, it would be better to get either an Acer, Asus, or a different model of Toshiba because they are more reliable and are at least not entirely made of plastic.

Hi Oscar. It's an awesome laptop! The laptops we sell with Amazon are built and ready to ship. Upgrades can be done after the purchase though and you could add for example a 240 GB Intel 530 or Crucial M500 mSata drive allowing you to keep the original drive for extra storage. Our laptops are built to allow owners to easily upgrade them.

That I can't help you with. I would like to believe so but considering when they mailed it to me, UPS left it on my door step in the pouring rain so I mailed it back to Amazon. Amazon was great about emailing me te shipping address, giving me a $10 off coupon for my next purchase and free next daily delivery when I found that laptop again to purchase if- but I haven't seen it again at the price I originally paid for it which was $399 and now I just seen it for like $525. Good luck

Hopefully Amazon sent me what I ordered. I'll find out Monday when I get it. At one time it was stated that they were in stock which was later changed to not yet released. All I know is that Laptop Magazine had one over a week ago for testing and supposedly Amazon has shipped one to me.

It is an see model therefor it is as good as newer Toshiba such as the encore2 or Samsung product. It was excellentIn its day but if you are looking for speed etc. the newer models would be better.

I wouldn't recommend it. It seems like a good laptop but I had problems with it. After a week, it simply stopped working. After looking into it, this particular model is just faulty and is known to just stop working. Several people on different forums including the Dell forums have had the problem with it ceasing to function. Personally, your better off investing your time into another laptop. The one I am using current is from PC Richards and I was able to purchase it for around $350. Just look around at different places and im sure you can find something to suit your needs.

You can still get it from Newegg for $330. Tiger Direct has it for $350. If you want to consider the other models, Newegg has a good comparison feature, as well, though Samsung does not provide consistent data for their PCs, which limits effectiveness.

Hello, main specs already listed on the Amazon page, you can actually search the part number and first site that shows will be that of Toshiba were you can find specs as well.Thank you,
