Satellite P745 - thoughts on this laptop

i am upgrading from an old compaq laptop and saw this one at best buy it is a Toshiba Satellite P745-S4320 it seems to be a decent laptop. all i really do is basic web browsing,email,movies,music and other stuff. i am getting a gopro hd hero2 so i will be doing some very basic editing and loading to youtube. do you guys have any thoughts good or bad on this laptop? is there maybe a newer or better option i might look at? they are asking 699.00
is this price fair? please any and all opinions and suggestions are welcome thanks

 

It's not bad, I would say fair; I'm guessing Best Buy model?
Toshiba - Intel® Core™ i5 Processor / 14" Display / 6GB Memory / 640GB Hard Drive - Platinum - P745-S4320

That model has some " luxury" features that probably make it more expensive: Bluray, WiMAX, WiDi [WiDi would be good for videos and watching Blurays; my mother has WiDi and she loves it]. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html
If these are not features you would use, you can find a comparable for probably a cheaper price. Without the above 3 features, I would guess between $500-$600.

Good luck

 

yes it is a best buy model, there and frys is where i have been looking i know a limited selection but i cant buy online at the moment. any known problems or complaints with this laptop? i was interested in this laptop for some of the features you pointed out and usb3.0 but also it falls in my budget its not the most stylish but im forgoing looks at the moment. do you guys have any other suggestions in the 550-700$ price range that i could pick up at best buy or frys?

 

Thanks for the insight alexmuw, It seems to be a decent laptop could not find many bad reviews on it and it seems no one on here has mentioned anything negative so I'm guessing that's a plus or they just don't feel like posting. Thanks again. Going to pick it up tonight after work.
