Whatever you do, don’t send this notebook or any Toshiba notebook to their repair depot. My function keys failed to work out of the box. After spending months intermittently trying to fix them via Toshiba phone support and their web site, I sent it into their repair depot with the assurance that it would take 7-10 days to repair. That was two months ago. I talked with a “customer relations” representative who told me that my only option was to wait however long it took for the repair – if it took forever, well so be it. Now I’ve learned that it will be in the repair facility for at least another month! That’s three months on a repair that was supposed to take 7-10 days. So what’s the difference between this kind of confiscation and theft? I feel as though my notebook has been stolen.

There is some conflicting information on Amazon for this netbook’s specs. To make a long story short, Amazon’s product info higher on the page is correct, but Toshiba’s info farther down the page is inaccurate. What follows is a more detailed description of the problem.
While at one place on the page Amazon has the correct info (1.6 GHz single-core Athlon Neo MV-40, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, 250 GB hard drive), in Toshiba’s information lower on the page they list the processor as a dual-core, the RAM as 4 GB DDR2 out of a maximum of 8 GB, the operating system as Windows 7 32-bit, the Wi-Fi as 802.11 b/g/n, and the hard drive as 320 GB. This is incorrect! For this model, the T115D-S1120, the maximum RAM, according to Toshiba’s own detailed specifications PDF, is 4 GB (2 GB installed by default). The spec sheet says both slots “may be occupied”, but according to notebook review, an internet forum (thanks, Aerows!), it appears to be a single 2 GB stick. Also, the Athlon Neo MV-40 is a single-core 1.6 GHz processor; there is no dual-core MV-40. However, the T115D-S1125, the higher end model for fifty bucks more, does have a dual-core processor (the 1.5 GHz Athlon Neo X2 L325). The detailed specs also list the Wi-Fi as 802.11 b/g, but no n, and the hard drive is 250 GB on this model.
This is a sweet little netbook, and I might get one (probably the dual-core model, however); but since I was confused by the conflicting information, and I had to research around to figure out what’s what, I thought I’d post this to hopefully set the record straight. I tried to submit a correction to Amazon, but their info is correct, and I couldn’t find a link to submit a correction for Toshiba’s info.
Toshiba’s website also has misleading information at this time; they list the processor as a “dual-core MV-40,” while the MV-40 is a single-core processor.
Also, there is a red version of this netbook at Toshiba’s website (the T115D-S1120RD), but Amazon doesn’t offer them at this time.
