Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902 17.0-Inch Computer Laptops

Replace your desktop PC with the Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902 Computer Laptops, featuring all the power and hard drive space you expect from a top-of-the-line desktop but in an easily mobile package. Stylishly designed, this Toshiba Satellite features a large, bright 17-inch XGA-resolution LCD (1440 x 900)–perfect for viewing multiple application screens or watching widescreen movies on DVD. It’s also great for using as a media center, with Toshiba’s Express Media Player enabling you to bypass the system and access CDs and DVDs with a touch of button. The dual-layer DVD±RW drive also burns CDs and offers LabelFlash print functionality. A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD’s bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats.

Specs:

• 17-inch LCD screen
• 2.16 GHz Intel Pentium T3400 processor
• 250 GB hard drive
• 3 GB RAM (4 GB maximum)
• Dual-layer DVD±R drive with Labelflash
• Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)
• Intel GMA X4500M graphics (up to 1342 MB shared)
• Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
• Weighs 5.5 pounds
• Product Dimensions: 11.5 x 15.7 x 1.4 inches

Pros:

• Great ten key keyboard
• Cool feature, have a manual switch to turn off the wireless card.
• Nothing is in the back of the laptop making all connections very easy to get to
• The performance and picture quality are wonderful

Cons:

• The laptop is physically very big.
• The finish is shinny black and it shows finger prints

Bottom line: The Satellite 355’s size and weight do not make it a good choice for anyone looking for a traditional ‘laptop’. However, anyone looking for a ’sometimes portable desktop’ that integrates just about everything other than the mouse, this can be a good compromise.
