The keyboard works but is pretty light weight. Replaced a destroyed HP keyboard.

Like this wall plug multiplier. Only wish it "attached" to wall receptacle with a screw.

Toshiba Satellite Laptop: Edit documents, browse the Internet and stay up-to-date on social media with this laptop, which features a touch-screen display for easy navigation of features. An HDMI output lets you project the display onto your HDTV or a high-def monitor.

Ignore all the reviews about how slow or poor quality this computer is. I've been using it for almost a week now, non-stop, and it's been such a great little sidekick.
Let's start off with the slow-ness people are complaining about. This computer comes with a lot, and I mean A LOT of bloatware. This is useless, random programs that Toshiba was probably paid to have pre-installed. I'm talking stupid computer games, third party photo editors, blah, blah, blah.
I was VERY frustrated and nearly gave up on this laptop trying to uninstall all the bloatware (it took over an hour and many many restarts). JUST PUSH THROUGH IT. It's worth it. This little computer is a powerhouse.

Once you get all the bloatware off, you will notice a VERY DRAMATIC AND INTENSE increase in speed. I'm not even kidding, this thing will be running like crazy once you get the useless stuff off. Install a decent, free anti-virus and you're ready to go.
To put things into perspective, here is what I have been doing on this computer.
Minecraft - I get 70 FPS when I run regular minecraft with no Mods and without recording.
Add FRAPS, a screen recording software, and I can record gameplay with no lag, and it only drops down to 50 FPS. For a laptop of this price, that's pretty darn great.

Minecraft with Mods - The heavier modpacks are a no-go. But with some light modifications to the game, adding some fun features, I can still push at 50 FPS when not recording and am always above 30 while recording.
Photoshop - I use photoshop heavily. I didn't buy this computer with the intentions to run it because I knew I was buying a budge laptop, but once I saw how smoothly this thing handled Minecraft I gave it a shot.
It runs Photoshop VERY well. Never crashes. I've had layers upon layers, effects upon effect, using it while running other programs. Everything that could stress a little computer like this to the point of crashing, and this laptop has been taking it like a pro.

Adobe Premiere - I also intensively edit gameplay videos and animations. Again, wasn't expecting to be able to run it on this computer- but I am, and it's working very flawlessly.
I will admit, there have been some times of lag. I'll press something with the touchscreen and it'll take the computer a second or two to register the action, but with what I'm running on this guy it's to be expected.
I have NO CONS regarding hardware. This computer, for what your paying and getting, does AMAZING. It's the power of AMD, mixed with quality and durability of Toshiba. Reading these comments, I was expecting to get some flimsy piece of plastic trash- but this thing has a nice weight to it, it feels strong and sturdy. The screen doesn't flex at all, the keyboard doesn't dip or flex when you type. It's a GREAT machine.
There are a few CONS that I will point out, but they are completely unrelated to the performance of this laptop, so if you don't care about some aesthetic flaws, click buy now. You won't regret it.
CONS:
1. FIngerprints. The casing of this nice machine collect finger prints like crazy. I wipe it down often and I also use a wireless mouse, so I've gotten it under control, but if you're really going to be using this as a portable laptop with lots of moving around and closing the lid and grabbing this laptop, you'll see your fingerprints EVERYWHERE. But they come off easy :)

2. Trackpad feel - The track pad operates well, and the buttons register with a durable feel- but the texture of the track pad is a little strange. Doesn't affect productivity, as I was used to it and it no longer felt foreign within an hour, but it's a weird feeling when you first start using it.
That's it! This computer is a champ. Happy I made the decision to purchase.
ALSO: Upgrade to Win 10, much better and much faster than the 8 it comes pre-installed with.
ALSO, ALSO: You can get 1TB of storage through OneDrive by Microsoft when you purchase this. Use it. This machine only has 500GB of internal storage. Which isn't bad, and certainly won't be used up too quickly, but take advantage of the features you are being offered :)

Great review!
October 4, 2015
Thanks for the in depth input on this unit! Most reviews are less than descriptive shall I say. You have helped me decide on buying this laptop. I need to replace an old HP that still does great but son needs it worse than I do! :) . I intend to use while traveling and home "backup".
one question for you.... Will you respond with the "stuff" programs) you deleted?
Thanks again for the great review. It is people like you that make the reviews worth reading.
