Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5048
$485.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:Keyboard is full-sized, like using a regular keyboard. Runs fairly cool, doesn't overheat with prolonged use. Ports for wired printers and mouse (not commonly supported on laptops).
The Cons:No built-in webcam or microphone. Touchpad can only be turned off from within the Control Panel, and the option is difficult to find. Graphics processing is slow for even the most simple game.
The Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5048 is a mid-range notebook laptop similar to the Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5046. The C655D-S5048 sports two very significant upgrades over the C655D-S5046, namely an AMD Athlon II Dual-Core P320 processor (as opposed to the C655D-S5046's single core AMD V Series V120 processor) and 3GB of DDR3 RAM (as opposed to 2GB).

Otherwise, the C655D-S5048 and C655D-S5046 sport the same basic features, including: a 15.6" widescreen LCD display, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics processor, a 320GB hard drive, a DVD RW drive and a 6-cell lithium-ion battery.
The C655D-S5048's AMD Athlon II Dual-Core P320 processor and 3GB of DDR3 RAM provide excellent everyday performance for typical computer use and moderate multitasking. Its ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics processor provides the C655D-S5048 with the ability to play high definition media files at 720p resolution as well some light gaming performance (in conjunction with its RAM and processor). Additionally, the C655D-S5048's 6-cell lithium-ion battery provides an estimated 3.8 hours of general use per charge.
