Toshiba Satellite P870 review

Annoyances:

  • Has to Apple-style function keys, where the Fn function is secondary (requires pressing the Fn key). This is inconsistent to PC standards.
  • No HDD indicator - you can't tell when the system is busy writing to HDD.
  • Chiclet keyboard is not high quality. Lots of light escaping from side of backlit keys.
  • Glossy screen (urgh!)
  • Synaptic touchpad - fussy & frequent driver changes, incorrect driver can cause system to freeze and not be bootable in safe mode.
  • Touchpad defaults to reverse scrolling (stupid!).
  • Windows 8 is a nightmare!
Pro's:
  • Backlit keyboard
  • Clear sound from speakers
