Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite L655-S5155

60% Toshiba Satellite L655-S5155
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The Toshiba Satellite L655-S5155 is a good budget desktop replacement laptop for fulfilling basic computing needs, but anything beyond that is asking too much. For another $50, the Editors' Choice, the Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ ($629.99 list, 4.5 stars) gives you a more generous selection of ports, WiDi and WiMax connectivity options, and better performance.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


P6200: The Pentium P6200 is an entry level CPU based on the Arrandale core. Compared to the Core i3-330M it does not feature HyperThreading leading to a slower multi-threaded performance.» 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.
