Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5895 15.4-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The version of this laptop I am currently working on had Vista on it and was unbelievably slow.
Upon trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 I find that the hard drive controller is not (fully) compatible with Win7 WinXP or any of my bootable partitioning CDs.
Furthermore, upon searching for proper drivers I am primarily met with toshiba forum posts rife with issues around upgrading to windows 7 or downgrading to winxp.
From this experience I would absolutely have to say stay away, if you ever need to do a fresh install of any OS without the original CD/DVDs you will be up a creek without a paddle, absolutely unacceptable.
