I think this a pretty great. It def. rivals the laptops best buy is touting for school. 700+ dollar machines that, are pretty great - but imho overpowered and overpriced for the high schooler. Even college attending students don't need much more than this setup...and the fact that it's not wobbly or doesn't feel like it will fall apart is a good deal as well.

People talking about it being too heavy to move around are being ridiculous. I know women with bags that weigh in at more than 6lbs. Huge bags with their lives in it that they carry every, single day. I'd take comfortable 15 inch/5lb-6lb laptop any day over a 12 inch/3-4lb migraine inducer. Personally I think the sweet spot is 14 inches.]]>Aug 13th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/

Part of the problem is that they put the exhaust underneath it, making it difficult to breath if you don't have an ideal place to use it. Which if you plan to use this thing at school, you'll almost never have an "ideal" place to use it. Just my two cents. :) ]]>Aug 13th 2009 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/You can obviously adjust font size in your browser as well, not to mention the start menu, notification area, and task bar.]]>Aug 13th 2009 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/]]>Aug 13th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/Aug 13th 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/walmarts-348-17-inch-toshiba-satellite-l355-reviewed-surprisi/
Most laptops never leave the home.
This is perfect for someone who wants to get connected to the Internet and have a wordprocessor.
Not everyone needs or wants the latest, greatest, most portable computer.
