Toshiba Satellite S955D-S5374
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.
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.
Optimized for Windows 8, this 2nd-gen, quad-core AMD APU features 256 Radeon Cores 2.0, allowing you to run multiple programs at once without slowing down. Experience HD entertainment with breathtaking visuals on your laptop, edit and share HD photos and videos in record time and enjoy immersive 3D gaming and stunning Blu-ray 3D movies (with optional Blu-ray Disc drive).
It combines a 1.6 GHz CPU (boosted up to 2.4 GHz with AMD Turbo Core Technology) and an AMD Radeon HD 7600G graphics processing unit (GPU) on a single chip, helping to accelerate daily applications while also delivering lower power consumption. The APU can quickly offload demanding tasks and applications from your CPU to the GPU, enabling you to do more with your computer in less time.
Not all keyboards are created equal. The premium raised-tile keyboard on select laptops sets itself apart because it's handsomely handy. Whether you're doing homework, writing a letter or updating your social status, it makes typing more comfortable.
Now it's easier to peruse web pages, work with long documents, and show off photos with the larger touchpad, which supports the new Windows 8 Modern gestures like scrolling and pinch zoom--giving you the freedom and fluidity or movement as of a touch tablet or smartphone.
Your technology collection is getting bigger and faster. Fortunately, your laptop can keep up with the best of them, thanks to built-in USB 3.0 ports. You'll not only get much quicker transfer speeds, but your USB 3.0 devices won't require a separate power cable either, unlike eSATA technology.
Another Toshiba innovation, USB Sleep and Charge lets you power your smartphone and other devices even when the laptop's asleep or off. It's perfect for travelers and gear heads. And it's a great way to charge a dead device when you carry your PC around.
With support for Full 1080p HD video and sound, the HDMI connection on your PC lets you enjoy high-end multimedia on the go, or at home on your big screen TV.
Make older movies, photos and clips look a lot better on your HDTV or HD laptop screen--with Toshiba Resolution+ technology. It's an exclusive innovation that converts standard definition DVD movies and instantly improves sharpness and color in real time for a picture that looks and feels more like HD.
Here's how it works: Color Correction and RGB Gamma improve brightness, color saturation, contrast and hue. Next, Advanced Color Image fine-tunes environmental and character colors, like sky, grass, leaves and skin, to give these images a more natural appearance.

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.

So far not liking a few things - the key board is not as responsive as I would like - but I am still researching on that. Windows 8 is not as user friendly as it wants to be - it would be great on a tablet but it's not that great for a desktop or laptop situation - I'm finding myself touching the 'hotspots' too frequently and not wanting to. Will update as I play more with this new system. 1/24 I uninstalled all the bloat I could find, but it still boots really slow. It takes several minutes to go from a reset to log in, and then another minute after logging. This is silly - My XP and W7 go from a cold boot to screen in 45 seconds or less. 1/25 After more cleaning and optimizing, I've found this to be quicker.
