Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 review: The best performance you'll find under $500

 

The Toshiba Satellite C55-C may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.

Blazing fast for a sub-$500 laptop ; 8GB of RAM—more than any of its peers ; Tons of storage space

Flimsy construction and screen ; Clunky mouse buttons

By compromising on build quality, Toshiba managed to pack the performance of a $600 or $700 laptop into the much cheaper C55-C5240.

Toshiba Satellite C55-C-1NE Notebook Review

 

Average Joe? The Toshiba Satellite C55-C is an entry-level notebook designed for word processing and multimedia tasks. The spec sheet lacks any real highlights - but maybe there are hidden surprises we have yet to discover?

long battery life ; quiet ; low surface temps ; fast card reader ; no CPU/GPU throttling during the stress test

chassis is not very stable ; build quality could be better ; keyboard with shallow key travel ; touchpad buttons are spongy ; only 2.4 GHz WLAN ; TN display with low color accuracy

The Toshiba Satellite C55-C-1NE garners sympathy points in particular with its long battery life. Another positive aspect is the fact that the performance doesn't take a hit even under extreme load scenarios and that the system remains cool and quiet....

Review Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1D5 Notebook

 

Short-winded. There are many affordable multimedia laptops that even manage up-to-date games in medium to high settings for around 600 Euros (~$813). Toshiba's Satellite C55-A-1D5 is no exception. However, it exhibits shortcomings in ergonomics, build...

Suitable for games in medium to high settings; Sufficient power for demanding software; Rich-in-color screen

Might be too slow for future games in the midterm; Inferior keyboard; Short battery runtime; Full-plastic casing

It's amazing how wide the horizontal viewing angle stability in a laptop with a TN screen from this price range can be.

Toshiba Satellite C55-A-12U

 

A £500 laptop with a fast processor, 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. Great deal?

Excellent value, Strong performance, Good keyboard

Very poor battery life, Low quality, non touch screen, Plasticky look and feel

Toshiba Satellite C55-C-175 review

 

Toshiba's budget Windows laptop has 5th-gen Intel chip but a poor screen

The Satellite C55-C includes a recent Haswell processor but elsewhere the budget cuts show, especially the poor screen. Upgrading is not feasible so don’t expect to easily fix the limited memory or slow disk storage later.

Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 review: The best performance you'll find under $500

 

The question you need to ask yourself with the Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 is this: "If someone cobbled together performance car parts into a go-kart frame, would I drive it to work/school each day?"

The Toshiba C55-C isn't flashy or glamorous, but it gets the job done--and does it better than any of the competition. If you're looking for a fast laptop in the sub-$500 range and don't give a damn how it looks, this is your ticket. The C55-C is a...

Unexpeted Poor Performance

 

Mostly I want to comment on the speed of this machine. I am unable to start an RDP connection in a reasonable amount of time while running literally anything else. I am not commenting on the speed of the RDP connection once established, just the setup....

Plenty of USB ports ; Full number pad

Slow ; Missed keystrokes ; Glossy screen

Use a mouse for this product instead of the pad. A mouse is thousands of times more responsive. Cd drive works decently. Just a suggestion download movies and apps. Such as netflix, hulu, crackle, iTunes, EA origin, Steam, and microsofts version of the...

Good for Microsoft office, and indie gaming. Plays counter strike global offensive at 80+ fps, minecraft 60+ fps. If your streaming on it get something more powerful. Good for presentation designing and much more. This is a good laptop to start out...

Mouse pad feels like it's going to fall off. Mousepad button once did. CD drive feels a bit low build quality. CPU cooler and the power supply scream. The laptop can get loud for 60% of the time
