| skierdude1188's Full Review: Toshiba Satellite 1805-S204 (PS183U-00KP0X) PC Not... |
I have owned this laptop for 3 years now. The features are great, 1Ghz processor, 512 RAM, DVD drive are all great. I especially like the buttons on the front that allow the user to control music even when the laptop is closed.
However, during the first 30 days I sent it back to Toshiba twice, each for new hard drives. I did pay for the 1 year extended warranty, and I wish I had purchased the 3-year. During the one-year span the hard drive was replaced 3 more times on 3 separate occasions, all covered under warranty. I was assured that this behavior was not normal, but I'm not taking any chances. This is the last Toshiba I buy. I have just installed the second new hard drive on my dollar and it seems to be failing already.
