I've had Toshiba Satellite laptops for years, and I'm less than impressed with this one, so say the least.

First, I don't care for the keyboard setup. The size and configuration of the keys makes it less than comfortable to use. While I normally type at 50-60wpm, this keyboard makes that difficult, and I'm frequently having to go back and correct mistypes.

Second, I thought that the 4Gb of RAM included would make it faster than my A55 series, which has only 1Gb. NOT!! This thing is soooo sloowww it's just not funny. In fact, it's very frustrating. Thankfully this C855 supports 16Gb so I've ordered more RAM. Hopefully it will improve the operating speed of this laptop. Will comment more when I've received and installed the additional memory.

I would NOT buy this laptop again.

I bought a similar model a C855D-S5950. Same CPU, graphics, memory and stuff. I bought it at a local retailer for $259 and found it to be worth that but not much more then $300. You can get much more in speed for less then $100 more. I was looking for a cheap back up and for that the Toshiba is perfect. I actually like the 16:9 format screen and lower resolution. Eye's at 50 don't like small fonts for the sake of more space on the desktop. As for Windows 8 I absolutely loth it and installed Windows 7 immediately. I had a little trouble finding a couple system drivers and Toshiba was NOT helpful with my Windows downgrade. I really thought they may have helped me with a option to at least purchase OEM Windows 7 restore discs to help a customer? I guess now I can verify that Toshiba is on par with the rest for customer service. I think this is a OK laptop for basics, and the nice screen is good enough for watching video. The CPU is a bit slow but with a decent graphics side to it the video won't suffer unless you try and do too much while watching video. I am perfectly fine with AMD although they still trail Intel in many areas in mobile.

I don't game on PC's so as long as Netflix plays and Google Play works I am golden. Any computer in this price and performance only deserves a OK rating at the most. Its just the nature of what it is. To give some comparison I also bought a Samsung Chromebook a few months ago. The Toshiba is most definitely the better performer.

In closing, the keyboard is spongy and flat keys are harder to type on. But they are big so that helps. The track pad is OK but the left button on mine is harder to push and get a recorded click then the right? Its a bit small so gestures are a joke and I wonder why they even try? But it came with Windows 8 so I guess that's why.

Honest reviews on Toshiba C855D-S5103 Laptop Computer / 15.6-inch Display Screen

Not a techie, won't say a thing about the innards except it seems to perform well for someone who doesn't know what the heck it has on the inside. Windows 8 is truly as awful as everyone says. If you can, partition disk and put Linux in there. Pros, having a numerical keyboard is great, wonderful monitor size. Cons, the keyboard layout is odd (nothing is where you expect it to be), horrible track pad, no volume keys. Then again, for that price, I suppose it's OK.

it works fine, but some time when you are using more than 2 apps at the time it collapses. Battery last long and the screen is good. I guess is exactly what you pay for.
