Perfect laptop: great on the road and at home 0
A unique and excellent ultrabook for the price. [UPDATE: Note — there was a strange problem with this notebook which also affected another reviewer here where the notebook “died” and would not boot. The battery would charge, but pressing the power key would do nothing. Of course, you could return to Toshiba for warranty service, but I happened to try something which apparently has worked to “fix” the problem (at least so far – about 2 weeks with no issues as I post this). Since you cannot remove the battery, I simply left the laptop in a closet for a couple of months to let the battery drain (which it did). [I had earlier gone through various other efforts, charging the battery, etc. which did no good).

I immediately did all the updates available, in the hope that whatever caused the problem was software related there have been some issues with sleeping and…
Decent laptop; died after three weeks 0
