3.0 out of 5 stars Good Budgt Machine if the Price is Right, January 4, 2011

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 15.6-Inch Laptop (Matte Silver) (Electronics)

While the listed $394 price tag is not that extreme, take that listed "$204 off" from a 599.99 base price with a grain of salt.

Overall the reliability record of Toshiba Satellite machines has been quite solid, ranking alongside Asus and Sony in as the best terms of malfunction rates despite some of the lowest prices, so taken from that aspect this is a great budget machine that won't get too hot or eat too much power.

That said, the price is somewhat in line with sale prices you can find of machines one step above this in terms of specs (dual core processor's with 3 gigs of RAM).

If you can find it for $329 or less and don't have needs much heavier than web-browsing/word processing/maybe playing (if you purchase a pair of speakers or at least headphones) than this could be the perfect machine for you.

At $394 however you can probably do better, and if you want to be able to play games a couple years old, use photoshop, mutlitask, etc. then you are probably best of looking for a machine just a touch more powerful than this.

Bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas!! Got it for $278 at Walmart..Cant beat the price!! It was ready to go right out of the box. Great for surfing the net gaming and everyday tasks. Crisp screen quality and DVD playback is great! Good investment for kids without breaking the bank!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Basic System, December 12, 2010

By 

Gaspare Marturano - See all my reviews

I picked this system as a backup computer to my desktop and to use when I travel. I have to say you get great bang for the buck. It not a light system by any means (heavy...using it on an airplane might be a challenge)but it's fast, and the keyboard is fantastic. I would suggest adding the extra 2GB of ram (comes with 2GB)and bring it to 4GB. The HD TruBrite screen is really nice....Crisp and clean. I purchased the system at Walmart for $278, a steal!
