Toshiba Satellite S855-S5382 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue Brushed) Review
By Lee
The system specifications are great and compliment Windows 8 well in performance.The laptop is light weight and not bulky making it easy to carry around.The AMD video card is decent with 2GB but do not expect top quality gaming experiences.The sound when using headphones is not as loud as previous Toshiba laptops I have owned.I have an older Toshiba Satellite M100 series with Windows XP, it still functions today after 7 years and I believe with proper care this newer series laptop will last as long if not longer.

By Foxdrake
At eight hundred and fifty dollars (what I paid) it's a great laptop. It's even better at seven fifty! It has everything one could want in a laptop, processor power, memory, Blue-ray/dvd, good screen resolution, a well designed keyboard, wireless-n and so forth and so on. One can look at the listing for specifics.There are a few things missing like a back-lit keyboard (for night work) and Windows 8 is a lot worse than Vista (which BTW got a lot, lot better with patches in terms of functionality - Vista, however, always ran slow as gravy on a cold day). That said, Windows 8 is designed for tablets; it's not built for laptops without a touch screen. I can't tell you how many times I dragged my finger on the mouse pad to have Window 8 do something I never intended. That said, with a few tweaks (like adding Start Menu X, for example) - it's gets "workable."The "metro" thing, however, is just god awful.And while this is not a Windows 8 review (the system comes with Windows 8, after all), it is much, much, much faster and stable an OS Micro$oft has ever put out. Not a single system crash to date (5 months) and runs all my apps at warp speed, so I'll keep tweaking until the interface is to my liking. Now if the improved system performance is a result of the native operating system or the quality of the laptop (perhaps both) makes no nevermind to me, I just know it's one of the best laptops I've ever owned particularly at the price point.Finally, I'd like to add a couple of points. To begin, some background, one thing I really love about this laptop is how light it is. Don't get me wrong, I've owned a lot of laptops, Dells, Gateways and HPs. Of them all the Dells (two of them from 1998-2004), while nice, seemed to break apart/down after 3-5 years. The Gateway I bought in 2005, I still have! I gave it to my parents for email and web-browsing, It still runs great but that was the last of the original Gateways.In 2009 I bought a "high-end" HP. It was one of the HDX-17 with all the bells and whistles. What a POS. In a year that Chinese piece of cr*p was falling apart. It finally died a violent and painful death Dec of 2011. It barely made it 2 and 1/2 years and it was the most expensive POS I ever bought at 1500+. Never HP, never again. But there were things I noticed about it in comparison to this one. The HP was very HEAVY in addition to being poorly made, this one just the opposite.Everything on the Toshiba feels really solid - which at about 1/2 the cost and a 1/4 of the weight of the HP is shocking to me!Lastly, if I had one critical observation it would be the track/mouse pad. The buttons function well but if there's anything on your hands: oils (natural body), water (sweat) - the ability to control the pointer fails. So, I'm washing my hands and drying them thoroughly before any computing, which is good hygiene but a bit of a drag insofar as there can't be a drop of perspiration on them and forget about lotion of any kind. Wait that's kind of funny isn't that? "Poor bastard is trying to compute with sweaty hands and lay off the lotion buddy...". True that, but it's a bit more than the obvious and I find myself (with no medical condition relating to excessive hand sweat) using a wireless mouse I picked up for $20 to avoid a bit of frustration with what I consider an overly sensitive trackpad. However, when using the laptop on the train or at school the mouse doesn't always get used and in order to not be annoyed, just make sure those hands are very clean and dry.If only Windows 8 was actually designed for PC computing this would be the greatest laptop/deals of all time. I have to give it and Toshiba 5 stars!
