There are certainly better options on the market, but you’ll generally have to spend more or put up with less powerful hardware. Colors pop and even dark scenes, which often reveal the worst in TN-panel laptop displays, are tolerable. Gaming and movies bring out the best in the display. There’s no easily visible gap between pixels, black levels are decent, and overall contrast appears solid. With that said, this particular panel is one of the better examples of the breed. It’s a glossy 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768 panel - like the basic display on almost every other 15.6-inch laptop.

You’ll find no surprises with this display. Even two-finger scrolling is jerky and sometimes fails to respond at all. These benefits are brought down by twitchy multi-touch support. The surface is of medium size and untextured, but two physical left and right buttons with significant key travel are included. They work well and provide the user with an easier way to access certain functions, like volume control. Media function keys are included just above the keyboard. The only problem (and it’s a bit of a nit-pick) is the oddly slick key cap coating, which can cause fingers to slip during furious touch-typing. Key feel is better than normal and you’ll find plenty of space between each. Fitting the numpad is still a bit of a squeeze, so all keys are towards the small size, though still perfectly usable. That’s not to say there aren’t trade-offs. Other laptops of this size usually include a numpad, but are forced to use annoyingly small keys.

This makes it possible to cram in a full keyboard and a full numpad. Only a half-inch of space on either side is unused. Unlike many competitors, it features an edge-to-edge keyboard. The Toshiba Satellite P755 makes excellent use of available space. The display could be better reinforced, but it’s on par with most laptops in this price range. Most surfaces are sturdy, particularly on the lower half of the chassis, which never creaks and groans in protest when it’s treated poorly. Material quality reinforces the inexpensive-yet-upscale feel of this laptop. Chrome trim is used in a few places and works well with the laptop’s glossy, silver-gray exterior. The speakers are covered by small, tasteful guards that allow you to see the speaker below them, a nice visual effect that other manufacturers should take note of. For example, instead of using a simple black plastic to surround the keyboard - an approach taken by many mainstream laptops - Toshiba has matched the material with the surrounding interior. This may be due to the laptop’s dark and elegant palette of grays and blacks, which helps the plastic appear metallic from a distance. Faux-aluminum plastic is the order of the day, but it doesn’t appear as tacky as on other laptops that attempt the same track.

Toshiba has never produced the most attractive laptops, but it has never produced the most boring, either. You can purchase this laptop for under $600 – but you will be downgraded to a Core i3-2330M and Intel HD 3000 graphics.ĭoes this heavyweight still have the chops to compete against more nimble laptops? Let’s find out.

This should be considered a high-end model in the line. This laptop’s hardware is powerful, but the price tag manages to limbo under a grand, coming in at $979.99. The predictable 15.6-inch display has a resolution of 1366×768, and no high-resolution option is available. It offers a Core i7-2670QM processor and Nvidia GT 540M graphics, all of which is wrapped in a 1.4-inch thick chassis that weighs in at a hefty 5.8 pounds. On paper, this laptop is the essential example of a powerful and affordable mainstream laptop. Which is why we’re looking at the Toshiba Satellite P755. It’s enough to make you forget that relatively thick and inexpensive laptops remain the bread-and-butter of the laptop market - and likely will be stubbornly popular for some time.

Ultrabooks are becoming more numerous, and Intel’s processor update is right around the corner, promising products that are even faster and more power efficient. Hype about thin-and-light laptops has reached a new peak this year.
