4.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop after two day experience., August 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L755D-S5279 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (Grey) (Personal Computers)
I actually want to give this laptop 4 1/2 stars, with the 1/2 star removed for combo of low rpm drive (standard on a lot of low to mid-range laptops) and casing that seems a little flimsy (I am used to sturdy Thinkpad case). Otherwise, this is a great laptop performance in both processor and graphics. I replaced the drive (I highly recommend you do this with at least a 7200 rpm hdd) with a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard drive so I can't speak much for the existing OS, but I did install all their add on drivers and I do like their wireless identifier at the login screen letting you know you are connected. The windows experience rated everything except my replaced hard drive with a 5.9, not bad at all for a sub-500 laptop!

As for testing, I simultaneously backed up a dvd I owned while at the same time converted a movie iso image to an mkv. While the processor maxed out encoding at 27 fps(common enough in encoding) with dvd copy at 4 MB/s the memory stayed at a reasonable... Read more

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L755D-S5279 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (Grey) (Personal Computers)
This is a sharp-looking, inexpensive laptop with decent CPU and GPU power for the price. It has a few glaring shortcomings though, two of which are unfortunately major.

Pros:
1. Discrete ATI video card
2. Bright screen
3. Nice looking
4. Perfectly adequate speed for any normal tasks
5. HDMI out

Neutral:
1. 720P resolution is too low for a 15" screen. Unfortunately, this is nearly the standard on low- and mid-end 15" laptops now, so Toshiba is no worse than most other manufacturers.

Cons:
1. There is no latch or magnet to hold the lid closed -- you just close it and hope it stays shut. When you carry it, the lid tends to bang against the base of the laptop because there is typically a 1-2 mm gap between the lid and base due to the lack of any latching mechanism. It does not feel solid and secure at all when carrying it.
2. The screen has worst viewing angle and glare problem I have ever experienced on a... Read more

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L755D-S5279 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (Grey) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this laptop from Amazon and have had it for 2 weeks. This is a relatively new model with a new cpu and a June 2011 release date. My previous laptop was a HP DV6165 - an AMD dual core running Windows XP. This laptop blows that one away in every aspect. It comes with a healthy 4 Gb of ram, which is not the max, but it runs Windows 7 very nicely. The WEI is a 5.8 and held back due to the 5400 rpm HD. I am sure with a SSD this laptop would scream. The cpu scores a 6.9 WEI. If you want to validate this, check out the CPU performance charts as a comparison. The AMD cpu in this scores right up there with Intel's I5's and B940's and literally blows away my one sons old Q6600 overclocked (passed down from dad) quad.My desktop is a Intel I-7 with a Crucial SSD hard drive. I have been running Raid arrays in my last three computers. So you can see, I do know a bit about performance. This laptop has got it. I have not tested it for games yet as my gaming rig has dual GTX460's so I... Read more
