 Great entertainment laptop! Jul 31, 2010
By J. Shariat
Edit- Be sure to read edit at bottom for updated review...
This laptop is really the perfect laptop for entertainment purposes. It has a ATI Radeon HD 4250 and the m880G chipset working with the processor for a decent GPU, but it would be certainly not ideal for any serious gaming or intensive 3d rendering.
As an entertainment laptop though, this computer has just about everything right about it. The 16" screen is beautiful; the 1.6ghz quad core Phenom II is a wonderful multi-tasker and great for media. The speakers are absolutely unbelievable for being internal laptop speakers; They actually sound good, at loud volumes! Unheard of in my experience with laptop speakers. The bass is amplified surprisingly well given the constraints, as are the tones in general. There is a very important program on the computer that allow you to control the audio your computer is putting out: It is called "Realtek HD Audio Manager", and can be found in your control panel. It will allow you to utilize an equalizer and Dolby enhancement.
Also great are the many ports that are found on this computer. There are 4 USB, one being a hybrid USB/eSATA. There is (importantly for entertainment purposes) an HDMI output, as well as a VGA output, just in case, I guess. The keyboard is back lit, as is the screen, so typing in low-lit conditions is a breeze. The keyboard and the touch pad that are on this computer are of truly excellent quality; I have had other Toshibas recently that had much worse touch pads and keyboards and so I feel really happy that I do not have this issue. This computer is not that heavy, but it is 16", so understand that it is not ultra portable.
The type of battery that is in this computer is very efficient with energy consumption and can last for well over 3 hours (nearly 4, actually) without really other than a little screen brightness sacrificed (pressing the "eco" utility button is all it takes to get close to 4 hours without really sacrificing much. This is a great balance for me, because most other laptops of this type have much more power-hungry processors in them that eat up the battery in closer to two hours, as opposed to the 3 to 4 I get with this computer. This is much easier to work with the approximately over 2 hours with most other computers of this type. Also helpful in this area of energy saving is the technology that allows you to listen to music, charge devices, or do pretty much anything you want through the computer's ports while the computer itself is in sleep mode.
As for the cons of this computer, they are really limited. It is a great computer, especially for the mid $600s, but I do wish that the hard drive speed was 7,200 RPM. I'm not sure if the 5,400 RPM hard drive will create a bottleneck with the computing ability of this laptop, but in my initial tests on this computer, there has been only slight lag versus what I would expect on a 7,200 RPM computer. I may try to put in a cool, power sipping 7,200 RPM internal SATA drive at the end of my 1 year warranty, as I could just take the SATA drive in here already and put into a casing and hook up through the eSATA port as a backup drive. Two benefits from one move! A related hardware gripe is that the M880G chipset/ ATI Radeon 4250 is a decent GPU for everyday applications, but it could stand to have been beefed up a bit...
Another con with this computer is that the USB ports are awkwardly placed near the outsides of the wrists when the fingers are on the home row keys, and plugging the USB mouse into a port located in this location makes you have move the mouse around the piece jutting out of the USB port. This is really only a problem when working with limited space, and since the touch pad is a great one, this isn't too big of a problem, really.
The last con would be the bloatware. There is really quite a bit of software loaded onto this computer, and with some of the programs, you will probably decide to uninstall, as I did. There are useful programs and there are useless ones; be prepared to remove some stuff that you don't need, though.
Bottom line, this computer is an awesome entertainment machine. The processor is a great choice for multi-tasking and energy efficiency. It is really a good processor for this computer. The other features like harman/kardon speakers are excellent, especially if you are going to use your computer primarily for media ass I am.
Edit- The price on this computer has fluctuated quite a bit recently. I want to note that this computer, despite having a quad-core processor, is certainly not worth as much as an i5 or similar processor. I love AMD, and believe that their new line of Turion II X2 processors seem to be the sweet spot with them and laptops. 2.3ghz, two cores, modern processor technologies... These Turions don't have the four cores like the P920 in this laptop, but since these cores can't be utilized completely in today's usage, I have found that the higher clock rate and only two cores seems to work better for most any application that I have tried. This laptop is not bad, with it's four cores and very low power consumption. However, compared to the Turion II X2 P520, a processor with higher clock speed, equal power consumption, and two fewer cores, I think it will show that the two, faster cores work better for most processes. It should be noted that both of these processors have 2mb L2 cache, but the four cores spreads it to 512k per core while it is 1mb per core on the dual-core.
Long review now with this edit... Whew. Well, I hope it helps some people!

Absolutely no buyer's remorse. Jul 11, 2010
By MA Stratton
I searched high and low for a laptop to replace both my outdated desktop and old, borrowed laptop. After intense question and answer sessions with techs and new laptop owners, I chose the Toshiba quad-core Satellite. This baby is PERFECT. So far I love everything about this laptop. I highly recommend it to anyone who is busy, creative, serious (meaning, not playing games but actually working), and looking for a TRUE bargain.

Happy with second Toshiba laptop Nov 13, 2010
By A reader
The A665 is the second Toshiba I've bought this year (the other, an A505, was for my business). I chose Toshiba for the ergonomic aspects, especially the placement of the touchpad and layout of the keyboard. I also appreciate the touchpad on/off button, as I often switch between the touchpad and a wireless mouse. On that note, this model places the USB ports toward the near edge of the machine, putting the mouse transmitter in the way of the mouse, but that is a minor inconvenience. If I have any complaint, it is about the touchpad keys, which are at once loose and noisy. Overall, the A665 is a good value.

Love my Toshiba Dec 05, 2010
By Pete Chico Jr
"This laptop is excellent. Bought this to replace a HP that I bought from QVC a few weeks ago. I needed a new laptop as my other one had an accident and busted, and I work fulltime from home and need my laptop. So I bought a HP which went back in 2 days and decided to go back to my first love of Toshiba's. My aunt has my very first toshiba laptop I bought 6 years ago and its still running great.
Now my review LOL... The speed on this is excellent. It is a QUAD core, people say that the 1.6ghz speed on this is not very fast but I disagree its fast enough to do whatever you throw at it. The graphics are great for ATI graphics. The keyboard is back-lit which is a great plus for night time usage. The screen is beautiful, crisp and bright. The sound in UNBELIEVABLE. Battery life is approx 4 hrs, but I leave it plugged in 99% of the time anyway.
This is a excellent machine for price, you can not go wrong with this buy.. believe me!!

Just what I was looking for! Nov 10, 2010
By teacher
This is perfect, just what I wanted! I was a bit worried it would be too big, but I'm so glad I went for the bigger size, it's great for watching films and viewing pictures. I'm not particularly technical, but everything's working well and quickly, so I'm pleased!
