This laptop has FATAL FLAW!

I've owned this computer just over a year now and for the first 10 months it was wonderful. Then suddenly, while I was in Europe and TOTALLY reliant upon it - it suddenly crashed. I'm not talking a normal crash, and I'm not talking the blue screen of death crash. I'm talking a crash like I've never seen.

It just goes completely dead! No warning whatsoever. It's like the computer just totally shuts off without warning! All data is lost as there's no warning so no chance to save it.

I thought it might just be a random occurrence, but I had encouraged my sister to buy one just a couple of months after I got mine. And she began to experience the same problem. I then did a web search and found a ton of people had written of the same problem.

I'd have to recommend that you stay far away from this machine. It's awesome when it works, but from what I've found on other sites it has this one fatal flaw that seems to be quite common.

Also, Toshiba support is AWFUL! They're incredibly rude and incredibly unhelpful as well as unknowledgable.
