I've just taken my Satellite A105 laptop in for the second motherboard/RAMreplacement in two months. I've only had the computer 6 months, and it hascrashed twice. When it did work, it was slow and froze constantly in IE.Toshiba does not have a replacement policy (i.e., they will not replace themachine under any circumstances), so I suppose I will be sending it in everycouple of months until the warranty runs out and then investing in a higherquality Dell or HP.The computer was a big draw for the price and the 2G RAM, but unless you enjoygetting the run-around from customer service reps and using your laptop as atrendy home accent, I would advise buying another model and upgrading thememory. Sometimes there's nothing more expensive than cheap.
