TOSHIBA Satellite L755D-S5171 Notebook AMD A-Series A6-3420M(1.5GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 640GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 6470M

Pros: Everything worked
Minimal Bloat
Performance per dollar

Cons: None yet but this is my first AMD/Radeon computer so will be hoping those components hold up.

Other Thoughts: Bought this for my son to do school work on but he wanted discrete graphics so he could play some games. He is very satisfied.

Pros: It works for a short time before either the battery dies or the blue screen rears it's ugly head.
Processor is good (when plugged in). Graphics are good (when plugged in). Runs really quiet.
Looks cool. I like the keyboard. Not overloaded with bloatware.

Cons: Terrible battery life.. 2hours. Battery will not even charge 1% unless the computer is turned off.
I had this less than 2 hours before I started getting the blue screen. Had to format and start over.
Gets too hot. Much more than my other laptops.
Heavy. They did not use the magnesium case some other Toshiba's have. It's plastic.

Other Thoughts: I have used other Toshiba laptops with amazing speed, light weight, much better battery life, and never a bad thing to say. This one is just cheap.

Pros: Has a wide enough feature set to be really useful in day-to-day life. Quad-Core power, enough memory, good sized HD and pre-loaded software isn't all useless bloatware. Can even do some mid-high level gaming witch is a surprise for the price. Skyrim for example ran fine as did Deux Ex: HR.

Cons: The memory. It's installed as 2x2GB modules and not a single 4GB module that leaves an empty slot. If you upgrade the memory just go for it and get 2x4GB modules and be done with it.

Other Thoughts: Overall it's a good solid laptop for someone that wants or needs some reasonable priced power. Won't set the world on fire with it, but you won't fall behind at the same time.

Pros: this has been a surprising little notebook for the money to be quite honest. Newegg has this stated as being a dual core cpu but this a6 is actually a quad core.
For the most part it's pretty fast and doesn't seem to have any serious heating detriments that I can see so far under moderate loads. well worth the money for the specs. we will see how it goes over the upcoming months.

Cons: It's my first notebook in some time but the progression of power management thus far with the video card is kinda wonky and takes some getting used to.
I can understand aesthetically why the trackpad is where it is but with your left hand resting on the tray the trackpad is interfered while typing.

Other Thoughts: Good bang for your buck would recommend and would purchase again should the need arise.

Pros: A6-3420M
1.5 GHz (2.4 GHz Turbo)
Radeon HD 6520G (320 Shaders)

Big hardrive (for a laptop)

Keyboard layout, is fairly standard, with nothing out of place. Feels, looks and weighs, nicely.

Cons: Some what the screen resolution, but only a small con. 1366 x 768

Other Thoughts: Ordered this laptop for the GF. Just thought that i would mention that this is definitively a quadcore.

Not a gaming laptop, but can handle some older titles with respectable settings and good frame rates.

Pros: - Quad Core processor
- AMD Vision graphics
- Number pad
- HDMI/VGA output
- 4GB memory + 500G hdd
- CD Drive / multi card reader
- Cool and QUIET!

Cons: - Battery lasts about 2 hours during moderate use- but that's reasonable for a laptop.

- The usual load of pre-loaded vendor apps, etc. Easy to get rid of though

- Also note, the glossy display. Not a problem at all, but if you plan on using outdoors, beware of reflection.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a workstation to play high end games, this might not be your thing. - But anything short of that it will handle no problem. I've got it hooked up to a 2nd monitor- I was just playing CounterStrike in 1600x1200 with a 90+ frame rate, while I had an HD movie playing in fullscreen on the other display. No stuttering or anything.

This machine is perfect if you're looking for a modest price without sacrificing too much horse-power.

About 5 years ago I custom built a gaming PC. And today, for half the price, I now have this even better machine.
