Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-1MM

80% Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-1MM review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
The C50 is a solid budget laptop which is an impressive value for money proposition, and offers plenty of storage. It is likely to be more powerful than sub-£200 laptops like the Asus X200MA while costing only about 10% extra, but this performance gain is offset by losses on the battery life and portability fronts. Also, there's nothing special about the C50 that differentiates it from other consumer laptops (there's no Windows 8.1 Pro, for example).

1005M:

Entry-level 1.9 GHz dual-core processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics and reduced Ivy Bridge features.

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.

Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
