Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite L755-S5271
Source: Student Buying Guide Archive.org version
The Satellite L755 (or Satellite L750 if you configure it on Toshiba.com) is what I call a very safe choice for a laptop. It has just the right amount of speed and performance for the typical student or home user, it doesn’t break the budget and it’s design is decent though not stunning. Is the L755 built as well as a business laptop or MacBook Pro? No, but it also costs half as much. You can spend $1,000 and get a nicer laptop than the Satellite L755, but will it be twice as good as the $499 you can pay for this on Amazon.com? Not likely, so if the Satellite L755 fits your needs in a laptop, meaning you don’t need it to do any intense 3D gaming and you don’t need something that’s extremely portable and easy to carry, the Satellite L755 is it.

For the student on a budget, or the parent buying them their first laptop, the Toshiba Satellite L755-S527 is just the right fit for an inexpensive laptop that offers both productivity and entertainment features. Buyers looking for a fuller feature set in the same price range might be more interested in the Editors' Choice Asus U56E-BBL5, which has WiMAX and WiDi 2.0, in addition to a longer battery life and more powerful processor.

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.

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