Toshiba Satellite P755D-S5172 Review:

Toshiba Satellite P755D is a decent multimedia notebook computers, Blu-ray drive, Harman / Kardon stereo speakers, 15.6-inch widescreen high definition display. This "high performance" mode, in the list of Toshiba's "daily value" for the $ 700 satellite lines (up to 2012 April 2, days). Its quad-core AMD processors will not set any speed records.

Toshiba's focus on multimedia. Dolby advanced and Waves MaxxAudio system to produce a very loud voice, even in high-volume speakers, whether it is from over headphones. The HDMI port lets you connect to your HDTV Blu-ray movies, too. Regrettably, the display of 15.6 inches, the relatively low resolution of 1366 × 768 - it is very difficult because the screen is a mirror gloss to avoid reflection.
A potentially handy feature of the microphone port, known as the Toshiba Sleep and music, it allows you to play your MP3 player through the laptop speakers, even in the power and notebook computers. In addition, you can charge via USB Sleep port also operates even when the notebook computer is turned off, unless you have inserted into the laptop on the wall, although it will run out of battery to charge your digital devices.
Ports, including VGA, Ethernet, three USB connection and a USB 3.0 port and the sleep and charging, headphones and microphone jack, security lock slot and a memory card reader (front). P755D is also equipped with 802.11 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0. "Toshiba hard drive protection, collision sensors automatically parks the drive head to avoid damage to the surface of the hard drive of your laptop's 640GB hard drive should be met. A pop-up warning you, if the machine collisions and the directorate is parked, you will be surprised to find how easy it is, you can provoke it into action.
The power button above the keyboard and touch-sensitive buttons, power saving utility for the wireless ecosystem, speaker on / off, volume control.
The Toshiba laotop keyboard is good, its smooth, big, black key is a reasonable response, although their descendants are not deep, the more expensive Dell Inspiron, for example,. The multi-touch touchpad is difficult to use - every time I accidentally touched it with two fingers, the cursor freeze, every time I had to take a moment to figure out what is wrong. The touchpad buttons are a bit stiff. A button you can open the entire top of the keyboard, as well as the entire touch pad the top of the light bar control buttons, but the rest of the keyboard is not backlit.
Unfortunately, the performance of this affordable notebook computer is not completely stars. Unable to keep up with AMD The Fusion the A8-3520M processor with Intel's Core i5 or i7 CPU general-purpose computing tasks in our test P755D limped along moderate notched a WorldBench 54 points. AMD is known as the integrated graphics performance of the system in a step - at moderate quality settings, you can play modern Olympic Games at a reasonable level of performance (in our tests, it run in the second 28 frames dirt The details of the high local screen 1366 × 768 resolution). Battery lasted 4 hours, 42 minutes, which is a medium results for this category of notebook computers.
The Satellite P755D with Microsoft Office Starter 2010, including Word and Excel ad. This is the only major built-in applications, with Internet Explorer and Google, together with the Toshiba DVD playback software and Corel's Blu-ray player, laptop computers. Unfortunately, I can not get Corel Blu-ray player, I downloaded a free player to watch Blu-ray movies, and work well.
Two custom programs in addition to Microsoft Live Essentials suite of photos, e-mail, Movie Maker, Messenger, Live Writer a blog application, Toshiba: Toshiba access for free and paid e-books Book Plaza, Toshiba application place a long string games, utilities, and applications (some free, some experimental, some paid). Toshiba books Plaza (renamed the Blio bookstores), take some time, however, because it need to go through several lengthy and problematic software updates, you can not bypass. Toshiba applications place most of the programs is mild, similar to what you used with a computer magazine to subscribe to free games and utilities disk.
Toshiba Online Backup Utility pop-up early can not be dismissed; if you want to or not, you must set it up. I do not want to, so I found this tool contains Norton Internet Security program pest almost as annoying, you activate the 30-day trial, each time you start the computer to heart. I thought it might be wise coercion new computer users to install some basic level of security, but the experienced user with the preferences of their own safety will not be amused. As for the missing application, I think the installation of Skype - Skype label is located on the keyboard - but the laptop is only a link, download Skype. The strange thing is, it will not be pre-installed.
Toshiba environmentally friendly and practical, and you press a button is enabled, automatically reduces, lowering the screen brightness laptop computer power consumption when not in use, the machine sleep, idle, close off the hard drive, and adjust the CPU usage (four core AMD A8, presumably to disable one or more core, the system is under low load, although it is not a specific file). It also shows your power to use the site map, and even estimated to be much less carbon dioxide, resulting in emissions under the ecological functions. Turn off the CPU core to save the planet arguable virtue aside, I would like to extend battery life in P755D, when you in the cross-country flight time, this button can be easily and quick service.
Hardware documentation, including the start card and online guides are buried in the Toshiba subdirectory. I know that all relevant electronic documents and to prevent the trees were cut, just to explain the system, but the company at least can be said, or else on the icon on the toolbar in the Windows 7 desktop bare online guide. You do not have all the software documentation.
P755D 5.4 pounds, is ultra-light, but it is not too heavy for its size; save some weight may be due to all the plastic shell. Fortunately, the plastic is solid, not curved.
Toshiba Satellite P755D is a decent full-featured laptop, not too thick, although plastic, very solid. Quite modest in our tests, although it has some great multimedia features. Faster performance, access to the document, reducing the annoying backup and virus tools, not an ordinary eccentric multi-touch touchpad will generate more enthusiasm and a higher score, but this model is as an intermediate roads, with a moderate price notebook fine.
