WE bought a Toshiba Satelite Laptop for about $2300 at Costco two years ago. It has a 17" screen and worked just fine until a few days ago.
I took it to my trusted computer doc. It had a hard drive failure. When he opened it up the hard drive was completely sealed off in a alum. foil wrap! These things need to breathe he tells me and then he consulted another top service guy he uses who had a long hardy laugh at what a bone headed thing this is for Toshiba to have done. He suggested it was a clear path to built in obselence...
If you own one of these "********* Jap products" or your considering buying one... BEWARE!
It will cost me $300 to replace the hard drive with something that will hold up and restore all my vital data.
I'll never buy another Toshiba product!
I'm not bitter though... well hell, yes I am too!
