Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930

 

Huge, bright screen ; Crisp speakers

Poor general performance

While the a355 comes with a price tag that's easy on the wallet, it suffers poor performance and a sluggish user experience.

Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930 review

 

The Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930 boasts specs that at first glance indicate a reasonably equipped system. The configuration Toshiba sent us came with a 2.1Ghz AMD Turion X2 processor, 4GB of DDR2400 RAM, a 256MB ATI HD 3470 x2 graphics card, a 300GB...

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 A355D-S6930 review

 

In the Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930, Toshiba clearly aimed for an entry-level media laptop with a screen and speakers that defy expectations for the category.

very nice

 

I purchased this about 1 week ago on this site for $399.99 + shipping. For about $420 this is a GREAT DEAL for a second laptop - fantastic for easy carrying.

for what's equipped, the price is awesome for it

This Laptop Rocks!

 

This is the best laptop I've ever owned and I've owned a few and I hope to keep this for a good 3 years until I feel like upgrading. I've played Crysis, and COD4 on this Crysis on Medium just fine, and COD4 on optimal settings online with my...

First off this is a wonderful laptop, very sturdy and rugged. Great processor, good graphics for a laptop, and the speakers are the best I've ever heard on a laptop. The glossy fusion finish is awesome, a real eye stopper, I've had this less than 5...

First off the touchpad sucks lol, it feels good, but performs weird, it likes to drag items even when I have drag turned off, still trying to find out if I've done something wrong but I doubt it, probably just have to get used to it. Toshiba's face...

The best laptop i have every owned

 

high def movies run great over it, games played: left4dead, portal, quake3, quake live, cod4... i haven't installed farcry2 yet to test it.

it can handle games, photoshop cs4, and be your media box ; all in one! it has a great screen and an interesting shell. i like the media buttons and harman/kardon speakers at the top. lastly i like the price that i got this for ($899)

the laptop shell is interesting, but i am finding it more of a con after a month. this is just me being particular... this thing is a finger print collector

GREAT BUY!!!

 

Once you know... You Newegg!!! They are the best in the business.

This is a great buy for the price you pay. Newegg had the best deal available on this. I compared the price on NEXTAG, PRICEGRABBER and BIZRATE. Nobody beats NEWEGG. Plus you get lightening fast shippment even though it was free. I got mine with two days

It came with Windows Vista and I downgraded to WinXP SP3. I am not a Vista fan. I called Toshiba for support since the drivers for XP were not available on their site. They told me they have no driver support on this for XP since it was not licensed by...

Toshiba Satellite A-355 Series Notebook

 

Compared to the past desktops I have own, I really enjoy using the laptop. A lot more convenient and has everything I need.

Large amount of disk space

There is no blue tooth built in the laptop, but the little USB dongle doesn't cost much to get

To get over the flaky thumbpad I have been using an external mouse. Simple bypass, but why have a bypass for a new computer?

Lots of computer power for the price. Had to spend an hour or so removing trial software, but after that I haven't had any issues with the laptop itself

Biggest problem I have had with the computer is the touchpad. It's super sensitive, then a minute later it is unresponsive. I've updated drivers, but haven't seen any improvement. Another con is that the power supply gets excessively hot. The first...
