Quiet and cool. The Satellite C70D-B-10X provides its owner with a basic 17.3-inch office laptop. The device attracts attention with both its low temperatures and noise level. Installing an energy-efficient AMD APU is worthwhile in this case.

Advantage wanted. Toshiba launches a new office laptop powered by the latest AMD APU on the market. It presented an overall decent performance in the test. However, the question arises: Why should buyers not opt for an almost equally priced, stronger Intel alternative?
