Toshiba Satellite C55T-A5103

Description

The Toshiba Satellite C55T-A5103 is an affordable 15.6-inch laptop. Among its features, the star of the show is touchscreen functionality, while processing power is better than on the average budget laptops. Instead of the basic and widely adopted Intel Celeron or Pentium processors, the C55T-A5103 model sports an Intel Core i3-4000M chip with respectable performance for everyday work and multimedia. The CPU is a full-voltage part, meaning that it consumes more power than the ultra-low voltage i3 counterparts, but on the positive side it is noticeably faster. Also, the hard drive is larger than the 500GB average and provides 750GB of storage space. There’s 4GB of RAM, which is an average amount but completely sufficient for all routine web, office, and multimedia computing tasks.

This black notebook with textured matte plastic chassis has a built-in DVD drive inside, as well as stereo speakers, a 720p web camera, Wi-Fi wireless, and standard capacity 48Wh 6-cell battery. According to the manufacturer, the battery life is up to 5.08 hours, which is quite good for a laptop with a standard voltage processor and 15.6″ screen. The display has a 1366-by-768 pixel count. It won’t provide picture crispiness like on the 1920×1080 full HD screens, but you can’t expect it in the laptop’s price range anyway. The remaining on-body bits include a spacious keyboard with numeric pad, multitouch trackpad with physically isolated left and right click buttons, three USB ports, HDMI and VGA video ports, and a multiformat media card reader.

Overall, the Toshiba Satellite C55T-A5103 is an inexpensive Windows 8 laptop PC solution which allows you to open programs, navigate the Web, and even draw and create art on the touchscreen easily, while providing enough computing muscle for effortless crunching of daily tasks.
