two questions for ya..

1) i heard that the fan is pretty noisy... is this true?

2) what docking is that you're using? it's really cool.. and also what is that frame u use to stick the computer screen on the wall?

[imjoshdotcom]

@CKIcanada That's an HP USB Media Dock

I didn't have any issues with noise.

what is the difference between r700 and r705?

[imjoshdotcom]

@karedward The r700 has some business features that aren't on the R705 and the R705 has Intel WiDi.

Why is this thing exclusively being sold at BestBuy? This model seem wonderful(and really thinking of buying this R705), but is Toshiba selling anything equivalent as this at MicroCenter or CompUSA?

[imjoshdotcom]

@bluebearbank247 Best Buy strikes a lot of exclusives. You won't find the R705 anywhere else. You can find a R700 business model elsewhere, but unless you need the biz features you are better off getting from Best Buy.

[coolquack1]

where did you get yours from

[coolquack1]

Is it good on games?

[nwi17]

great review!!! thank you!

I'm thinking to buy it for school. but the price is about $800, so i'm thinking to spent $400 more to get the sexy macbook pro(which also give me $100 gift card). Can you give me some advice?

[homekenzdude3454]

Nice laptop but it does run hot and the mouse is a little loud but it Is a nice laptop

[LuvCUTS]

Runs way too hot!

[LoLsaladz]

@sulavserene well, it depends on what your going to be doing with the computer. for everyday taskes(web browsing, microsoft office) then the difference won't be noticeable

[BarbieGirlDolls100]

it looks like there's something wrong with the screen cuz i have one and its no where near as bad as that, perhaps u got a defective model or perhaps it was the camera... idk

@CKIcanada

Don't worry about it. It s nowhere as noisy as some people claim on their comments and reviews. That comes from a seriısly disturbed one who takes extreme measures to silence his computers.

It is the crappy screen that you should be really concerned about. Never saw anything that bad. Viewing angles and color saturation is horrible. It literally has the worst display I ve ever seen on a laptop. It plainly is unacceptably bad.
