Great System for the Price
Up front - I own a slightly different system - the M115-S3104 - which comes w/ 1-Gb RAM vice 512-mb on this one. Same case and LCD/etc though. This system has a very nice and bright LCD and the GMA 950 graphics are plenty powerful for surfing, home office use and watching DVD's. It will also play older games quite well - such as Ghost Recon. Great keyboard and the LCD housing is sturdy. Only downside, as mentioned elsewhere here, is all of the junkware on the standard software build. This system, and the M115-S3104 are truly great systems for the money!

Great performance and value for money
This is second laptop that I have owned. Compared to my old E-machines N10, this is a much better laptop. Some of the significant differences that I see between these two laptops are: I have no problem with wireless network using my Toshiba M115, I like the keyboard layout and the sound system on it.

Another great future is that it allows you to watch DVD's without starting up the whole system, plus, it has S-video if you want to hook it up to your TV.

Toshiba is an established brand in the market and if you want to sell it after using it a while, you will have anough buyers and your laptop will not depreciate in price that much. This is another reason why I bought this laptop.

Small, Powerful, and Light Weight
Once again Toshiba re-defines the marketplace with this incredibly powerful lightweight laptop. How can you beat this? It's only around five pounds and packs incredible power at an amazing price. It's a great deal by the best laptop maker out there. The positives totally outweigh the negatives, but I will mention the few problems. The system makes more fan noise than most other models. If the system were more expensive this would be a deal breaker, but again, this powerful laptop is cheap! The other problem is how the system performs out of the box. As usual the system comes with a ton of pre-installed garbage. It took me 4-8 hours to wipe the hard drive, re-image it with a clean OS, and install the Toshiba drivers. Once this was complete the system worked to my satisfaction. This would be a five star review if the system worked well out of the box. All things considered, Toshiba strikes again!
