Toshiba Satellite R845-S85 14.0-Inch LED Laptop - Graphite Blue Metallic with Line Pattern: Is it a good buy at $600?
1404701
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.

First, if you are set on a 14 inch laptop like I was, this one is the deal. You can find better pricing on 15.6 inch lappys but generally they aren't as powerful. They still may meet your needs as the tendency is to overbuy. Look at the top 100 list for amazon computers

Difficult question. I've never owned a Toshiba, and most people giving reviews here will likely be biased toward their own machine. I will say that a bit light research indicates: (1) ASUS NVIDIA GPU is later generation than Toshiba's and has an extra Gb of RAM, so you're going to get better graphical performance with ASUS; (2) the difference in i7-4700HQ (Asus) versus i700MQ (Toshiba) is negligible, per CPUBoss.com (slightly higher overclock capacity with Asus, if you're into that kind of thing). For the price difference, it might make sense to take a closer look at Toshiba. That said, this is my second Asus and they've both been amazing machines, so I have no regrets staying with this manufacturer.

Yes - Probably one of the best laptops I have seen in a while. Samsung knows how to build things. Very light!!

It is a good and lightweight laptop. If weight is not an issue check GT72 and Asus rog series. And if you have a budget of 1900 also check MSI GS70 pro.

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 had a chance to buy this during the lightning deal for $450 too, but decided to pass. Read some reviews and was disappointed to hear about touchpad issues and battery life as well, which are big mobility issues for me. Seemed overpriced even at $450, I may have bit at $350-$400. It's possible to get full blown 14" laptops these days around $450 anyways.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

Hi, I don't know for sure if I am going to sell it or not. I purchased it for $299 with free shipping on tuesday. It was shipped on wednesday and it arrived today(thursday). Fastest turnaround for any product I ever ordered on Amazon. Looks like a really neat computer. Thanks for the offers and the input.

It runs very well. It has a good processor and works better than a newer HP laptop that I purchased at Walmart for $375 For $175.99 you are getting a great deal. The only thing I didn't like was the small hdd, which I replaced with a 500gb one.

Honestly. I would not buy anything for your laptop from amazon. I purchased to of them and both never worked or recharged my battery. Amazon refused to even take them back fro an exchange or refund. do not buy it from amazon. Spend the extra cash and go to a place like best buy or staples or if you can afford even a few more dollars, from the toshiba website itself. Amazon was horrible.

It's a bit high, but i expected as much seeing how thin the laptop is, also the dual vents help a lot and the smart dedicated /integrated video card switcher, helps a wjole lot to keep temp at bay. I hope this answer is helpful to you, besides that, its a GREAT laptop, the metallic finish looks awesome, and the customizable backlit keyboard is really cool.

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

Hi! If you want your 8th grader to have this I don't think it's a bad choice at all. It's a pretty decent laptop computer and just about anybody at that age would be very lucky to have one. Have a nice day, Emily! :)

If you are specially looking for a gaming laptop, this is not the right one. That would cost around $750. However, this computer is one of the best options for multipurpose including gaming option. It has a good battery life, screen, or Windows 8. It's pretty dependable and well made with full size keys, good size screen and resolution, full HDMI port, Ethernet, SD card slot, very thin/light. If you want a pretty good laptop for cheap, without getting an old netbook, a tiny screen, or a used computer, this can't be beat. In addition, Windows 8 gives you the power to quickly browse, watch movies, play games, polish your resume, and pull together a killer presentation - all on a single PC.

Wow, they've got it on newegg now, nice. I'm half tempted to just go with them since I trust newegg so much but I would end paying 40 dollars more. I'll give buy.com until tomorrow and if it hasn't shipped by then I might switch again. I'm so ready to have this laptop in my hands. First thing I want to do is test it for gaming on the go. It seems like the perfect combination of graphics and battery life.
