Reviews of Toshiba Satellite C655S5542 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I've never owned a laptop, so I had my husband do a little research and he saw this as the perfect fit for me. He was right! One of my favorite features, because I am a teacher, and we submit grades online, is the number keypad. It's so much easier to use than the numbers at the top of the keyboard. The screen is a great size and the keyboard is easy to manipulate. I am very pleased with my first laptop.

The laptop has been great for back and forth to class. I use it mainly for school. It's easy to write papers and do homework on. It also keeps up great with the web surfing I do on it.

I want to end off on a positive note so the problems with it are.

1. No webcam

2. annoying toshiba messages pop up all the time

3.It really wants you to have a default browser and assumes if you open up another you want to switch internet browsers.

4. Toshiba seems to have partnered with some computer security company you have to pay for cause it lies and says your computers at risk when the FREE security says everything is fine.

5. without opening more than one browser you can't open more than one window at a time.

6. short battery life

Those were really my only problems with the computer after owning it nearly two years already. However the number of usb ports are adequate,the ram space is nice, it never freezes and has a nice display and sound. Good job Toshiba!

Honest reviews on Toshiba Satellite C655S5542 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

My main concern is that the microphone is useless. I have it set on the highest volume and still my Skype calls are poor, recipients can hardly hear me. I have checked online for possible resolutions but to no avail, many consumers seem to have issues also. I guess I'll need to buy a microphone.

The touch pad is hard to find by touch, it just blends in to the casing, so I placed a raised sticker just to the right and this solved the issue for me.

I like that the mouse left/right are proper buttons, that click properly. Many laptops I looked at were not, they were just touch pads, and I found it hard to get them to work correctly.

My previous laptops have been HP, and the wireless configuration for my HP printer was easier on this Toshiba than on any of my HP laptops ... go figure :-)

I like the computer, but the microphone issue lowers my overall satisfaction with it.

And a heads up, the SD Memory Card slot is UNDER the front of the laptop, not easy to find.

Do not buy Toshiba. Screen just all of a sudden cracked. Bought from Best Buy and they refused to even look at it because they said Toshiba was the only company that would not accept them sending it. Toshiba wanted to deal directly with the customer. Toshiba won't replace or fix even though it was within warranty. Spent a LOT of time on the phone trying to get them to fix my computer and they said the warranty does not cover a cracked screen no matter what. Horrible computer, even worse customer service.
