Been there, only it wasn't a lock-up issue, just outdated (Windows 2000 O.S.) That Toshiba you're lookin' at is exactly what I was shopping for, I stopped at a pawnshop, they had a year and 1/2 old ASUS with more RAM, bigger hard drive, same processor, 15" screen, Windows 7 OS, out the door for 218.00, with a 90 day guarantee, great machine, excellent reviews, and I think its the shizznit.
Check the reputable pawnshops, you'd be surprised.
For my dollar, I'd rather spend the extra c-note for all of the functionality,
But, that's just me.

I've had 2 Toshibas and still have 3 Lenovos of various? vintage. The Toshibas weren't even suitable for paperweights.

Depends on what it's intended use is. Just surfing the web and doing email, a tablet would be fine. Need to do other stuff, get the laptop. If you decide to get a tablet, make sure it will do what you want it to do. They are not all created equal.

I have an android tablet, Angela has an ipad and we still have our laptop that is limping on. As far as tablets get the ipad and don't look back. Ipad vs laptop depends on your needs, but you can so 90 % of your stuff on the ipad, I don't ever see being without a laptop even with 2 tablets in the house
