I've used Toshiba Satellite line laptops from 2005 until 2013. (I started with an M40, switched to an A100 then an M300.) The only reason I upgraded was to get better specs and to give my family members another laptop.
When I got my M300 in 2008 I stuck with it until mid December 2013 when the inverter in the screen started to die.
Everything else on the laptop worked fine, but I just didn't want to spend $150 to fix it when I was already looking to buy new anyway.
I ended up buying an Asus G750JW... which I've had since January. And I must say this Asus laptop is quite powerful. I like that the vents are on the back (keeps the system cooler and quieter for me. I mean even at full load the system doesn't get very loud at all.)
The only thing that gets loud on this laptop is the speakers... I have to keep them under 10% volume or else they're just too loud for me. (Or at/under 5% volume if I use headphones.)
Would I go back to Toshiba? If the specifications were right... Maybe. (Certainly not right now. Not for the next 3-4 years at least.)
Though I will say that I've bought another Asus product (a wireless AC router) and it's impressed me so perhaps I might stick with Asus for a while afterall.
