The Windows 8-powered, 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite S955D laptop (model S955D-S5374) is a lean, mean, multitasking-media-and-entertainment machine. It puts the power in your hands to master multiple tasks, manage media and enjoy entertainment like never before. Measuring in at less than an inch thin and featuring Toshiba's brushed aluminum cover in Ice Blue, the Satellite S955D is better than ever. Take advantage of its sizable display and large, intuitive touchpad with modern gesture support to navigate the exciting new Windows 8 tiles interface and apps. Step up to a faster, more fluid operating system and more processing power and graphics options--all with tried, true and tested Toshiba innovation.
It's packed with powerful computing resources, including a SuperMulti drive that can burn a plethora of disc formats, and plenty of ports and storage to give you the freedom to expand, or hold more files and media. And thanks to the built-in webcam and Toshiba Face Recognition software on this machine, you'll enjoy a more convenient way to communicate, log on, or share your laptop among the family.
Take Advantage of Windows 8
Be ready to take advantage of the next big revolution in PC computing: Windows 8. The new Start screen has all of the information you care about in one place, such as your contacts, the weather, and the next appointment on your calendar. Start Page is a completely reinvented interface with interactive tiles that remain up-front and center--and they dynamically change and update in real-time.
With the power and innovation of your new Windows 8 Toshiba PC, you get apps that are always on and easily accessible from your Start screen. You'll also get new, built-in apps for the things you do most, like new Microsoft Mail, Calendar, SkyDrive, Photos, People, and Messaging.
On your Microsoft 8 Toshiba PC, the Charms bar replaces the Start button, offering quick access to search, sharing features, devices and settings. Enjoy the convenience of seeing everything front and center, right where you need it.

| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Great PC, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Toshiba Satellite S955D-S5374 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue Brushed Aluminum) (Personal Computers) Toshiba has always been reliable in the PCs and this one doesn't defer from the path. It's a great PC. Windows 8 is a bit of getting used to and I don't see that all the bugs are out of it.
