I bought a laptop a little under a year ago, and have had screws slowly fall out of it. Although the computer is still functioning, it is almost half apart and I am afraid that it will completely separate at any moment. I was told this is physical damage so it is not covered by the warranty. I have never dropped the computer and only transport it in a case. I had Dell before, and decided on Toshiba because of the price. I now understand the lower price. As I am a student, I do not have the money to pay for the repair. I am extremely upset with the product and the overall company. I would advise others to pay the extra money for another company so that you will not have to pay for repairs as soon.
