I recently purchased a Toshiba M500-6421. Mechanically, within it’s price range it is an excellent laptop.
My only objection and complaint is the finish. It is available only with a high gloss finish which shows every tiny fingerprint. As soon as you touch it your fingerprints show up like a sore thumb. Don’t bother cleaning off the prints, as soon as you touch it they’re back.
If you are fussy about the appearance of your things this is not the laptop to buy. This is the only reason I would give it a 3 star rating instead of a 4.5 star.
