Toshiba Satellite A355 Review

The A350 series notebook is the latest 16" notebook from Toshiba and the successor to the 15.4” A305. This new model offers the same look and feel of its smaller brother as well as the same system configuration. In this review we take a look at the...

Scratch resistant Fusion finish ; Dual hard drives ; Good performance and heat management ; Great speaker system

Glossy surfaces attract fingerprints ; Lackluster battery life

The A355 also supports disabling the lights for the media keys and around the touchpad. This can help reduce all the distracting illumination “features” when watching a movie with the lights out

Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930 review

The Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930 makes a better impression on paper than it does in actual use. The bulleted list of hardware and features makes it seem like a steal, but the performance numbers and overall functionality are enough to raise some...

TOSHIBA Satellite A355-S6925 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T6400(2.00GHz) 16" 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500MHD

I order the laptop on Monday and received on Thursday. It came all the way from California to Puerto Rico, not bad considering I am overseas/carribean.

Great computer, this is my third Toshiba Satellite. The old ones are still running with my other family members, this one is my new one. At first it took me a while understanding the new 64bit thing but now is running so fast and secured. I took off...

The mouse pad it can be tricky sometimes. No HDTV plug, but for 600 (on sale) you cant ask for more

Good solid computer

Despite the annoyance of the finish and port placement, this is a great computer.

This is a solid computer. Firewire and eSata are a definite plus. The screen is very nice. The sound is second to none (in laptops). The specs are competitive (4GB of ram, 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 320 GB HDD)

Placement of ports are a personal preference. For me, they were in the worst places possible ; Disliked having the power on the side (prefer rear of laptop) ; Disliked having headphone jack in the front--so much that I bought a sound card (ExpressCard)...

Great Laptop for the price

I looked long and hard before deciding on this computer. The current line of Toshiba computers offers a good mix of features, value, and performance. At the current Newegg.com price, this computer is an excellent deal.

Quality screen, keyboard, and speakers

It's a bit flashier (actually shinier) than I tend to like

TOSHIBA Satellite A355-S6943 Intel Core 2 Duo P7450(2.13GHz) 16" 4GB Memory 750GB HDD DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 NoteBook - Retail

Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. One side note, if you want to install XP on this, you have to use a tool called Mobillity Modder to install your ati Drivers. Other than that, it should be pretty simple.

Big Screen

Some bloatware that should be removed

great laptop for the money!

Great toshiba softwares and shortkeys to change settings such as power management plan, zoom, silent mode for DVD drive, mute on/off, and webcam just with several buttons or clicks. The laptop works and runs great it doesn't get hot as ATI processors....

A little on the heavy side ; Media control buttons don't work with iTunes or maybe I have to find out how to do the settings ; The laptop doesn't have HD output or S-video but this is not a con, you never use these ports anyway

Toshiba Satellite A355

Build and Design The A355 is nearly identical to the older A305 notebook, even sharing the same overall design and paint job. The plastics are glossy or even mirror-like over much of the notebook. The cover has a pinstripe metallic silver and chrome...

dual hard drives, great speakers

bad battery life, fingerprint screen
