Versatile. Toshiba offers a well manufactured 15.6 inch notebook with adequate performance, a vast scope of interfaces, a matt display and good battery life for around 999€. This Satellite R850-127 can either be seen as a multimedia or a business laptop.
Toshiba Satellite R850 review

We have reviewed Toshiba Satellite L745D few days back, let us take a closer look at another Satellite, the R850. Unless you’re planning on playing the latest games, the Satellite R850 is a very capable machine, offering a superior computing experience thanks largely to its SSD. In addition, some market-leading tweaks to the touchpad give superb browsing.

78.2%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
