Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175

60% Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The Toshiba Satellite A665D-S5175 is a competent entry-level media center laptop that has a smart list of specs and a few clever features, but it doesn't hold up when measured against other laptops in the category. For better performance and a slightly better feature set—offering features like WiMax and WiDi—the Editors' Choice Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ is a smarter choice, for less money.

ATI Radeon HD 4200: Onboard graphics adapter (RS880M chipset) with UVD2 (PIP support) and DX 10.1 support (compared to the older HD 3200). Beware, possibly no 2D acelleration in Windows XP (as the HD3200).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.6 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
