I am sharing my experience with this laptop. I bought it in 2013 with windows 7, and it was my first laptop. The reason being it was cheap because Toshiba just entered Indian market. But as early as 1 year, it became so slow with Windows 8 and same with 8.1. I tried installing installing back windows 7 but its performance didn't improve. I even tried installing open source operating system - ubuntu and fedora thinking that it might be operating system problem, like it might be demanding better ram, graphics or something, but its performance didn't improve.
Also, its lid started breaking off at the point of attachment with keyboard. I stopped closing the lid in order to not keep it use able. Also the speakers don't work properly now. Like they work for first 5-10 minutes when I start laptop and then they stop working.
At last I gave up on this laptop and bought another(HP) in mid 2015. So, you can see its such a short lifetime, and moreover there are no or very few service centres of toshiba in India and I had to spend lot of money getting it fixed from local repair shops. I would really recommend not to buy this laptop or any laptop from toshiba instead.
