Great laptop for the price!

This review is for: Toshiba Satellite S5043-C655D TruBrite

Was looking for a notebook with ATI Radeon graphics, and this was a laptop for the price of 449 to steal! Got it within 2 days from Amazon and was amazed at the size of the screen. The screen is very bright, as it has the Tru-Bright technology and it is also a large screen that makes it nice for videos and movies. Sound is really good for a laptop and even 780 plays HD YouTube videos without trouble!

Only had this for about four hours getting used to everything so now. Windows 7 is very different and will need time to adjust when you are on XP for years. One thing, though this model 655D-S5043 has no webcam, face recognition or the microphone in the LCD panel, as explained on this website. I checked with Toshiba Web site before I bought it and noticed that they do not come with him, which was okay for me but for people who see that in the description he is not with the CAM or facial recognition software!

Was replaced on the lookout for a laptop my 7 year old Acer laptop, the buy one of the worst brands according to a recent study, this is working so well, since Toshiba was one of the highest ratings and a minimum of hardware malfunction. Overall, the laptop is fairly robust and feels solid and weighs a little more than my other IBM Thinkpad notebook that is okay with me too. The feel and design of the outer shell is really cool and I love the keyboard on the right. The buttons are kind of moved to the left and so is the touchpad, which might be hard to get used to at first. The buttons are not to sit as other computers and a little flatter, so it may take a while to set increased.

In view of the screen is like looking into the sun, it is just unbelievable how bright it really is! So far, very satisfied and for this price you can not go wrong. The wireless connection the wireless assistant I first turned it on and was setup within 1 minute. Download Firefox and Chrome are quick and easy. Another good thing is that it is on the desktop with the exception of trash when you get the computer nothing! Really great! In the hope that they can handle the game I just bought! Although it is not this worth it!
