Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DV

45% Oukitel U15S review: A combination of wrong choices
Source: Neowin Archive.org version
After my time with the device, I came to the conclusion that it didn't have much going for it, except for the sleek looks and sturdy build. At the $199 price point currently available on Amazon US, there are vastly better smartphones to choose from, with users not finding it too difficult to pass on this device.

60% Toshiba's latest is a good looking mid-range notebook

This Toshiba machine initially impressed with good looks and a light, slim construction, but it falls behind the competition in key areas. Its Core i5 chip isn't as fast in applications or in games as competitors, and its ergonomics and battery life aren't great either. Toshiba's AMD-powered S50D has a similarly poor screen, but its better power levels and cheaper price (£480; about $799, AU$860) mean it's a superior option to Toshiba's Intel-equipped L50.

60% Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DV review

Overall, the Toshiba Satellite L50 wasn't as fast as we'd hope it would be. The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 is the better choice if you can afford it, as it provided better performance and had a superior keyboard and touchpad.

80% Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DV review: slim and light budget laptop offers decent performance
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It certainly has its flaws, but a healthy price cut means that the L50 looks better value for money. It's not particularly fast but it can handle basic computing work perfectly well, and the slimmer, lighter design of this new model means that the Toshiba L50 is a bit more portable than most of its low-cost rivals. Its larger battery doesn't help its runtime and in benchmark tests it's slower than last year's model despite taking essentially the same components.

Comment

Model:

Today, young adults never leave home without a gadget or two (and sometimes more). These have become trendy icons of style and fashion. The sleek design of the Toshiba Satellite L50 caters to those who seek to express their love of aesthetics through their laptop. The slim 23.5 mm body and low weight starting from 1.9 kg are ideal for those who are constantly on the go.

However, the lack of sturdiness would mean that it cannot take any heavy trauma or hits. Music and movie lovers would stand to gain from the state of the art stereo speakers, specially tuned by Skullcandy. The Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DV would be the best option for outdoor entertainment or work, especially due to its long battery life of up to 6 hours independent usage.

The laptop also features a 15.6" screen with a glossy display that gives better color intensity and contrast. While the laptops lacks a DVD drive, which was removed to save space and weight, it features 3 USB ports, one of which connects with HDMI cables. Additionally, one of its USB ports supports 'Sleep & Charge' technology, which charges any external device even when the laptop is shut down. In essence, the Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DV is a medium priced laptop for the young, fashionable and modern executive or entrepreneur who does not want to be cooped up in a stuffy office or cluttered home.
