Toshiba Satellite L655-S5158 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) Reviews
| 200 of 208 people found the following review helpful  Got one a month ago from Toshiba Direct, By Jennifer "Jennifer" (Jamaica Plain, MA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L655-S5158 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers) After my overpriced, underperforming, Vista disabled HP laptop died on me, I shopped around for a good deal on a budget priced, reliable laptop. Asus is the only laptop brand that has better reliability than Toshiba (see [...]). When I checked the Toshibas, this is the model they were pushing (and apparently, still are). It's got an even bigger screen than I expected. It has a full size keyboard with a number pad on the right. It's a little large for carting around, but it is incredibly high performing with a great display. When I put a tumb drive in to copy some folders and files, I wondered why it wasn't working. I was used to watching the little folder transfer icons on my HP. Well, I was wrong - it did work. It just worked so quickly I didn't even see it. It transferred a ton of data in the blink of an eye. I've only had it a month, so I can't speak to longevity. But the battery life is reasonably good, and it's a great computer - especially at the price! 45 of 45 people found the following review helpful  Not bad for the money, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L655-S5158 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers) This is a pretty good laptop for what your going to pay but there are some things that could use some work. The touchpad is a pain. While trying to move around a page, it constantly zooms in or out or slides the entire page down. That can be very annoying if you are working on a paper or something like that. I suggest if you buy this laptop to invest in an external mouse and just turn the touchpad off. Also, the speakers are terrible. If you plan on using this laptop to listen to music or stream movies, invest in some headphones or an external speaker.Other than that, it does what I need it to do and, again, for the price, I don't think you will find a better laptop. It runs nice and cool and is silent as a mouse. 97 of 105 people found the following review helpful great laptop, good speakers, By Scott "Scott" (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L655-S5158 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers) I'm typing this just thinking about what I wanted to know before I bought so this will be very back and forth as I'm thinking. For the price this is a great laptop. This one is replacing and older desktop that is close to death so I'm not picky. I like the number keypad but if you don't like having that like some people then don't buy a laptop with the number pad so you can't complain. I can actually type without having to turn off the touch pad unlike other laptops I've used. The lock for the touch pad is below the space bar so it would be easy to turn off if you end up with problems typing. It's also great to have the multi touch touch pad to zoom in and out. I can find the delete, number lock and insert keys easily so that's good. The backup took about an hour and used 3 DVD disk to complete plus one disk for the system repair disk. It has a great screen for watching Hulu unless you are use to extremely large screens. The speakers are good for a laptop. Really do you... Read more |
