Toshiba Satellite M55-S325 Laptop

 

I loved this retail notebook's light weight and its pretty peacock-blue lid, but for $1349 I would demand a better keyboard and touchpad.

Attractively designed

Difficult-to-use mouse buttons

This notebook has so much going for it--topped off by a good Acrobat manual and the Microsoft Works application bundle--that dismissing it for one poorly implemented feature seems almost unfair, but there you have it

Toshiba Satellite M55-S325

 

Finding a notebook with the right balance of portability, features, performance, and price can be a difficult task, but the Toshiba Satellite M55-S325 (1,399 direct, as tested) has made your search easier. The M55 is the ideal notebook for the...

Roomy 100GB hard drive. 4 USB ports. Light weight. Custom covers. Good performance

Expensive additional battery

Whether for home or school, the M55 has the three Ps down pat: portability, performance, and price.

Toshiba Satellite M55 Review (pics, specs)

Toshiba Satellite M55

 

Under its colored exterior lies an affordable, well-rounded thin-and-light.

Reasonable price; double-layer DVD burner; multimedia controls; can play music and videos without booting up the operating system; exceptionally quiet, comfortable keyboard.

Colored lids are a bit garish; small mouse buttons.

The colorful Satellite M55 will satisfy your craving for a well-rounded, affordable thin-and-light.

Nice little notebook

 

I likes this laptop. Bought July '05 I think, surprised to see it's still around. Bought at a major retailer for more than a grand (it had just come out that week). Bought it because it's small, and toshiba is a great manufacturer. Sounds crazy, but...

Very small footprint, nice looking screen, doesn't weigh all that much for a laptop in this price range, comes with nice specs. Always owned toshiba laptops, they're a fantastic computer for the money. Battery life on mine is almost 3 hours

Gets super hot! Screen looks great if looking at it directly straight on, off to the side even a few degrees colors start to wash out. Not sure this celeron processor is the greatest processor, seems sort of slow compared to other laptops running XP. I...
