Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite L665D-S5066
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
There's no one standout feature on the Toshiba Satellite L665D-S5066 ($599.98 list), a low-end 15.6-inch laptop sold at Staples, other than the fact that it's based on AMD's new Vision platform. Performance from the AMD Turion II CPU is fair at best; laptops with Intel Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs cost only a bit more and offer much better performance. Its battery life also fails to impress. While it didn't set the labs on fire, the Satellite L665D-S5066 is an attractive laptop; its charcoal-gray exterior looks good for both home and office use. And the laptop's audio output is much improved compared with past Satellite models we've tested. While the Toshiba Satellite L665D-S5066 does nothing to outwardly offend, your money will go further elsewhere.

ATI Radeon HD 4225: Onboard graphics card (in the RS880M chipset) that is able to decode HD videos (thanks to the UVD2). Technically a slower clocked HD 4250.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

50%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
