Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240

80% Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 review: The best performance you'll find under $500
Source: PC World Archive.org version
The Toshiba C55-C isn't flashy or glamorous, but it gets the job done—and does it better than any of the competition. If you're looking for a fast laptop in the sub-$500 range and don't give a damn how it looks, this is your ticket. The C55-C is a straight-up bargain considering some of these benchmark scores, and it would fare even better if you have the technical know-how to swap in an SSD.

80%: 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.
