A 5-year-old relic that is beyond its time in weight & capabilities
This deep blue, shiny cased Satellite from Toshiba was produced in 2009, making it a relic in computer age terms. It sports an AMD Turion 64 x2 2.0-gig processor with a maximum of 4 gigs for RAM memory. Adequate.
It is heavy, at six pounds. The stock 6-cell battery only powers on for 2 hours or less. I replaced it with a $30 12-cell battery, which fared better, but only up to 3.5 hours tops. Not good compared to many modern laptop batteries that hold a charge for up to 10 hours. Four or five would have been adequate. The 12-cell upgraded battery protrudes out of the back of the bottom of the laptop, which actually allows a nice slant to for typing at the keyboard. The keyboard, by the way, has a wonderful feel to it while typing. There is also a novel, retro-style volume control dial on the front of the laptop, beneath the keyboard and touchpad platform.
It originally sold with Windows Vista installed, but this unit had Windows 7. After initially starting up the system, I went to activate and update the unit. Activation was OK, but it would not update to Windows 7 Service Pack 1, even after trying a clean install of Windows 7. No doubt some hardware compatibility issues from Win 7 to Win 7 Service Pack 1.
I stripped off the mechanical hard drive, and Windows 7 along with it, installing a solid state 120-gig drive instead to give it a bit of zip. I installed Bodhi Linux, a wonderful free and open source LINUX-based computer operating system.
Bodhi Linux installs lean, allowing a maximum of customization for any user, novice or experienced, via the Bodhi Linux App Center.
I can't recommed this laptop. It's bulky and heavy compared to today's ultrabooks and other thin and lightweight laptops, many weighing in a half of the weight or less, and with much more battery power, better resolution screens, much more RAM mempory capacity and better performing processors.
I bought it as a test unit for my computer tech business. However, with the nice keyboard and how well it works with Bodhi Linux installed, I find I use it a lot for weblog writing and publishing. Not the ace among my eight office/lab laptops, but adequate if you can find one for under $200 in good working condition, and plan for another $30 for a battery upgrade.
