Toshiba Satellite L505-S5993 Laptop Customer Reviews


"very good laptop" 2010-02-23
By F. Walker
I have been very happy with my purchase. This laptop has been user friendly and I use it daily.

"Great Laptop for the Money" 2010-02-23
By Sue Davidson (ROSCOMMON, MI, US)
I have in the past, purchased Dell Laptop Computers and HP Laptops. I purchased this Laptop for my daughter, who prevously only purchased Dell and Mac Products. I must say, she is totally satisfied with this unit. Even though it is just a 15.6 monitor, it still has the numeral keypad on the side. As of yet, the system has given her no problems whatsoever. She is a graphic artist and even though most of her work is done on her Desktop Mac, she has had no problems working with her projects on the Toshiba Laptop. She and I would definitely recommend the Toshiba laptop to anyone.

"great vaule" 2010-02-19
By Steve Hockaday
I look at reviews before buying,i think it has the best vaule for the money large memory and hard drive for less than 550 the speakers are the thing that could be improved. i've had for 1 month with no problems

"great laptop for the price" 2010-02-17
By Jolene Hoch (Randolph, ME, US)
This is my first laptop and I love it,i purchased it from amazon and as usual their service was great and it arrived quickly. I have always been a "Mac" user at home, but a friend and I are starting a business so I thought I should get a pc laptop since the rest of the world is pc! So far I have loved this laptop. Haven't had any problems with the touch pad, haven't ordered the wireless mouse yet, don't think I need it with this. It is powerful enough for what I need and has more memory than I will probally ever use. All in all, great product for the price, got it on sale and would definately buy another Toshiba in the future. Also, very easy to get online with this machine. The trubrite screen is awesome, just a little hard to clean, be careful how you do it. I have a flat screen tv so was already aware of cleaning procedures because of that. Hope this helps anyone else complating getting a toshiba! PS Windows is great, easy to use.

"My buy" 2010-02-16
By Daniel G. Lucero (El Paso, TX USA)
I received a good service from this provider, item arrived with expected conditions, although I chose standard shipping I received item before estimated dwelivery date. I will continue buying with this customer.

15.6-Inch High-Definition Display
This notebook has a 15.6-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature.

This graphics card is built with Intel Clear Video technology, which delivers clearer, more detailed images by eliminating many of the jagged edges and video artifacts seen when viewing interlaced content and features powerful color control to ensure videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out. It's compatible with external monitor resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, rewind, and record TV. Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Simplify everyday tasks Work the way you want Make new things possible

* Simplify your PC with new navigation features like Aero Shake, Jump Lists, and Snap.
* Customize Windows to look and feel the way you like by changing themes and taskbar programs.
* Setting up a home network and connecting to printers and devices is easier than ever.
* Windows 7 Home Premium supports the latest hardware and software.
* Designed to make your PC sleep and resume quicker.
* Takes full advantage of 64-bit PC hardware and memory.
* Connecting to wireless networks is fast and easy.
* Watch, pause, rewind, and record TV with Windows Media Center.
* Watch your favorite DVD movies.
* Includes integrated video and Dolby audio codecs.

Jump Lists
New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.

Improved Windows Taskbar
In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.

Snap


Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.

Which version of Windows 7 is Best for You?
Dual-Core Pentium Power
Ready to move up to a dual-core? This Intel Pentium processor-based PC is a good place to start. The Intel Pentium processor is the fast dual-core that lets you surf the web and run multiple applications simultaneously. So you can browse, IM, download music or transfer photos all at once. And use office applications, too.

With the 2.1 GHz Intel Pentium T4300 dual-core processor, you'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. And its Intel 64 architecture is also ready for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, and offers enhanced performance through improved virtual memory. It has a 1 MB L2 cache and an 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

8x DVD-SuperMulti Drive
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds:

* Write: 24x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, 8x DVD-R, 8x DVD+R, 6x DVD-R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+RW, 5x DVD-RAM

Integrated Webcam with Face Recognition Capabilities
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.
