I am a low end computer geek, meaning that I know my way around basic functional issues. I build medium end desktops for a hobby. I have had this model for a couple months, and out of the 5 others I have, this is my fave, not too big or small, stable and keeps up with any chore. The display is great. I think the real telling factor of any computer is longevity, so we will see about that a few years down the road. I have an early t satellite (7 yrs old) that is running xp flawlessly to this day.

Best Deals for Toshiba Satellite C55-A5243NR 15.6-Inch Laptop (Satin Black in Trax

After having another Toshiba laptop for about six years that has been running great, it was time for a new one. Although my other Toshiba worked, it just started getting old and decrepit. I had no reasons not to get another Toshiba since it had served me well. As a student I needed something lightweight and portable to carry around for school/class and this fit the bill. Set up was easy, and I was up and running within 30 minutes. I was able to sneak a deal only paying $363 during their back to school sale. After adjusting a few settings (battery, brightness, display, etc..) I tailored it right to my needs and it has worked flawlessly. The Windows 8 took a bit getting used to, but I almost prefer it. I just wish it was easier to get to some things. But then again, it's easier to get to email, photos, and weather than previous windows. The only downfall is the word processing. It is not that great, but I don't want to spend the extra $$ right now for the Office Suite. The WordPad is pretty annoying, but it gets the job done. Other than the word processing, it is a great computer that I am excited to work with for years to come!

I bought a Toshiba Satellite C55-A laptop about a month ago because it was the only one that had Windows 7 installed (I choose to avoid Win8) so I didn't have much of a choice to replace my aging laptop (wanted one with the current wifi spec). It is a good value for the features. It didn't have bloatware and I only needed to remove one program.

It is a competent computer but it has a few ergonomic issues for me. The keyboard has flat keys with the letters centered in the key, they are not formed like most keyboards keys (shaped for your fingers) and most keyboards have the letters in the upper left corner of the key. The keyboard works fine but I prefer shaped keys. Most of the connections are located at the right front corner right where I use a mouse (I prefer using a mouse). The Numlock key needs to be set every time you power up. When I open the top the bottom comes with it so you need to hold the base down to open the top.

This a secondary computer for my home so I only have a few programs I need to run with it, it is mostly used to access the internet in a another room in my house from my main computer, and it gets taken on some trips; it serves my use very well. It has the same vertical resolution as my old full screen laptop but it is physically shorter. (All laptops have this style wide screen these days). I won't be watching movies with it so I don't really need a wide screen but the width does help when multiple windows are open but it makes forces the use of a mouse further to the side than I would like. I would prefer a taller screen then a wider one bit no one makes that.
