Purchased for just under $300 at a local retailer. Bought to perform (primarily) web-based tasks (skype, radio, blog, surf, etc...).

System works fine full-featured with decent CPU and memory. Minor complaints for mouse buttons (feels like I need a hammer to assist with clicking (not really but takes some effort to left/right click)) and the amount of Toshiba (junk) software pre-installed (which was easy enough to remove, along with Office 2010 Starter).

Overall, worked out of the box and easy enough to customize generally very happy (especially considering the price).

Best Deals for Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5509 Laptop Computer with 15.6-inch HD

I needed a new laptop as my old one was in its final death throes. I had had a Toshiba Satellite and got a mileage out of it, and so this seemed a natural choice, especially for the price.

The machine has basically everything I need for writing, internet surfing, and playing movies and music. Other than the speakers being too quiet for my tastes, my one major gripe, and it's enough to ding a star, is that the mousepad is ludicrously over-sensitive. I'll be typing and without fail the base of one of my thumbs will graze the pad and so move the cursor so I start typing in a completely different location. It's really annoying, and there don't seem to be any settings I can change to deal with it.

So that's annoying, but it's something I've learned to work around. Other than that this is a solid all around laptop, well worth the price.

Honest reviews on Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5509 Laptop Computer with 15.6-inch HD

I am a fairly technical person. Bought the laptop due to great price and my wife only needs to do simple non intensive stuff for her schoolwork (as a teacher)powerpoints, word-processing, youtube videos that she downloads to imbed in powerpoints to make her lessons more interestingvery basic stuff.

The amount of configuration changes required to make this machine work is ridiculous23 years working with and on computers and this has been the most frustrating out of the box item ever purchased. I'm returning it tomorrow.
