I had a total disaster with my previous laptop which was dropped from a high shelf and the screen smashed a quick look at my insurance booklet confirmed that i was covered for accidental damage phew!
the would send someone round to pick in up for inspection then decide if it was viable to repair and if not try and find a similar spec replacement it was a dell machine with a 17 inch screen.

Received the inevitable call saying it was not worth repairing(could have told them that)and they offered me a similar spec choice of 3 manufacturers,Toshiba Samsung and hp having had satellite pro,s previously i was very happy to get the Toshiba,The Toshiba Satellite Pro L770 is a very powerful laptop for personal,business use and gamers alike,it has good performance with multitasking made easy,it has a lovely 17.3 inch hd display,it also has the latest usb 3.0 which is ultra fast,also Bluetooth 3.0 is bang up to date.

The first thing you notice is how stylish it is and that it dose not weight very much at all,its made of shiny black high quality plastic to give it a very modern feel over my previous silver dell,they keyboard and number board are perfect and very responsive but you would expect that of a laptop this price,the screen and graphics are probably its best feature they need to be seen to be believed It also features a powerful Intel processor and 750 GB hard drive on board,it has 8g of ram integrated webcam and blu ray player and DVD player with windows 7.

A concerns i have the sound from the integral speakers could be louder,also i have now owned 3 satellite pro,s and i have to say they tend to be somewhat fragile and could do with being more robust
,i would recommend a warranty purchase longer than the standard 1 year just to be on the safe side.

Another slight fly in the ointment may be the battery life if its not plugged in and on high performance setting with a browser and a couple of other programmes open you will be lucky to get 90 minutes in total,but this can be customized via the power setting to adapt to how and what your using it for.

apart from that you will not be disappointed at all with the performance for about 6 to £700 its a decent buy.
