Bought this laptop at Staples cheap for $259. Nice for basic stuff. Did not like Windows 8 so I loaded Windows 7. Had a bit of a search for a couple drivers. Toshiba does not technically support Windows 7 on this model. But search down a few models in the same series and most drivers do work. Some value added drivers like Fn Key app and Camera App not working so great. All other hardware drivers worked fine. I used AMD's for chipset and APU. Have to change some UEFI setting one specific is CSM so Windows 7 boots.
