Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue) Reviews
| 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Good value. No User's Guide as of July 4, 2012, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue) (Personal Computers) My experience with Toshiba more than five years ago had been terrific. They honored the warranty, replaced entire motherboard, and had my repaired laptop delivered on my porch within 72 hours.On the basis of that experience I ordered the Satellite S855-S5268 WHICH FOR THE PRICE IS A GOOD VALUE CONSIDERING THE PROCESSOR, MEMORY, AND FEATURES. However, the machine is built less solidly than the old Toshiba laptops. Plastic bezel around the monitor made crackling noises when opening the lid because it was not properly snapped into place at the factory - easily fixed. Overall construction OK, assuming the owner is not a perfectionist. Additionally, as of July 4, 2012, no User's Guide was available for this model. This is a crucial missing element. In the accompanying QUICK START BROCHURE, enclosed in the box, they specifically recommend creating a recovery media. Quoting, "It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media before using...

Most other laptops with these features are in the $1200-$1400 range. I am a long time Toshiba owner and upgraded from a 5 year old Toshiba A9 to this model. Easily twice as fast, even faster after I upgraded the 5400 RPM HD to an SSD drive. Windows Experience Index is 6.8 after installing the SSD (was 5.9 prior to the drive upgrade) - here are the specs:Processor: 7.6 Memory (RAM): 7.7 Graphics: 6.8 Gaming graphics: 6.8 Primary hard disk: 7.8 (was 5.9 with original HD) Note that the specs on the Amazon listing show the memory as 1333 MHz but this is not correct, the memory is actually 1600 MHz. There are two 4GB memory sticks, so if you want more memory you will need to replace one or both of these. I also noticed that this laptop weighs about 1.5 pounds less than my older Toshiba. I wanted a smaller (14") screen to make the laptop lighter, but this one is quite... Read more 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Awesome!, By Robin Maharaj (Miami, Florida, US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue) (Personal Computers) I just received my new laptop and I am honestly blown away. The price firstly awesome and of course the build quality exceeds what you may expect for the $900.00 price tag. The fact that I spent 4 days looking at various configurations that were all priced well over $1200.00 and then voila! The keyboard is nice and requires just a soft touch, the revised touch pad is awesome, the display is clear, clean and crisp.Performance is like that of a Boss 302 Mustang. Thank you Toshiba and Amazon. |
