By reading various review , I decided that I will go with Toshiba battary instead of cheap replacement battary .

So I purchased it from Amazon last Oct .
It was working okay (although the total battary hours were just 1 hr ) .
since I always connected to Power outlet , I was little comfertable with it .

But last week , suddenly battary started getting charged . Eventhough , I kept it connected to power for 24hrs without doing any activity , my laptop was always showong that it got charged 0%.

When I contacted toshiba customer care support , it was pathetic .
Everybody was transferring my call to the other person . I had to talk to 7 different people before I could get the actual person .

Anyway I had submitted my claim and I am hopeful that they will approve it .

Replacement battery works as expected from Toshiba.<br />Laptop is mobile only 25% of usage time, so we will purge the battery at least monthly to ensure longer lifespan.

It's now January and the battery regularly becomes so hot I burn myself on the tip (that you insert into the laptop) sometimes and am generally worried it will start a fire. I only have it plugged in while I'm watching it. I avoided generic batteries for just this reason!<br /><br />Will be seeking warranty exchange through Toshiba. I purchased in August.

Toshiba will not cover it under warranty and has no warnings on the product or in the directions. Mine broke by simply turning it on a table.

They have settled at least one class action lawsuit in the billions. We bought a Toshiba not knowing about their horrible record and it overheated. They have had it back to be serviced three times (and it was only six months old) but it still won't work. In fact when we got it back this time it won't even boot up.<br /><br />Do research on the net before buying a Toshiba!

But if your going to be setting at a desk not moving it around much or plugging and unplugging it very often its perfect.

It is great for surfing the web, email, and office work. As a "prosumer" photographer, I enjoy the memory card reader built into the front of the laptop, although I am not sure if I like its placement. The side might have been a better choice.<br /><br />The flush mounted trackpad takes some getting used to and I still accidently hit it sometimes. <br /><br />It is true what another reviewer said about the power plug. The design flaw is that the plug sticks out from the side of the laptop about an inch. For those who like to sit the laptop on their lap or use it on a less than solid surface, this can put pressure on the interior receptical of the plug. It eventually snaps (or appears to) out of place inside the laptop and you have to do some gentle manipulation to put it back into place.<br /><br />This is the second Toshiba we have and is highly recommended for the price/value/perfomance...just be caustious about the plug.
