70% Review: Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-C

The P55W remains most appropriate to a user with a particular set of needs: someone who wants ultra-high resolution and convertible tablet features, but doesn’t need superb performance or mind extra bulk in his bag. I can picture this guy, but have to close my eyes really hard to do it.

Comment

Model: The Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-CBT2N02 is a solidly built laptop with 360 degrees hinge. This setup allows ergonomic screen positioning and turning the laptop into a tablet. The design leans towards a classy look. The brushed metal finish has an almost bronze tinge. The hinge contrasts this lighter chassis color with a dark grey textured finish. There is a full-size keyboard and a large touchpad to aid with navigation. The 15.6 widescreen panel supports 10-point touch input. Audio quality is impressive with DTS sound powering the stereo speaker setup.

The Windows 10 device comes with an Intel Core i7-5500U processor, 16 GB of DDR3L RAM, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and gigantic 2 TB of internal storage. Other capabilities include an HD webcam, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI with 4K Ultra HD output, a USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.0 port and a stereo microphone setup. The Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-CBT2N02 comes with a 3-cell Lithium-Ion battery for up to 7 hours of usage and weighs in at 4.96 lbs (2.25 kg) in total.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

5500U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15.60":

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.

Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
