Toshiba Satellite S855-S5170 15.6-Inch Laptop (Ice Blue Brushed Aluminum) Review

I've had this for about a month and so far, I don't have many complaints. I've owned 17" laptops the past few years and while the larger screen is nice, they're just a little too bulky to be taking it everywhere. The 15.6" size is perfect for my needs and is considerably lighter.

The Intel i7-3630QM processor is incredibly fast. Everything loads instantly (Photoshop, databases, ect). The screen looks great but it seems a little muted compared to my Dell laptop. The touchpad tracks much better than others I've used but nothing compares to a regular mouse.

Windows 8 is not as bad as I thought. I didn't have an issue installing/running software from my Windows 7 laptop but the big issue is the new "Start Menu" which appears to be designed for touch screen devices. Installing Classic Shell gave me back the familiar Start Menu that I've grown accustomed to since Windows 95.

The S855-S5170 comes with a dedicated graphics card. If the dedicated graphics card is not a must, save $50 by going with the nearly identical S855-S5168 which uses the integrated Intel HD Graphics Card.

CONS:

-Speakers - compared to my Dell laptop, they're terrible. I'm not an audiophile by any means but I like to understand what I'm listening to. The Logitech Z305 Laptop speaker solved this issue.
-Bulky battery charger. Almost twice the size & weight of my Dell charger.
-Side charging port.
