A nicely affordable, easy-to-use PC for basic productivity at home or in the office, the Toshiba Satellite C855D (model C855D-S5230) gives families, students or small and home-based businesses the essential power and workspace to study, tackle budgets with a handy 10-key pad, keep up on Facebook and Twitter, or simply do more at their desk.

It's powered by a dual-core AMD E1-1200 accelerated processor (APU), which combines a 1.4 GHz CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 7310 graphics processing unit (GPU) on a single chip, helping to accelerate daily applications while also delivering lower power consumption. The APU can quickly offload demanding tasks and applications from your CPU to the GPU, enabling you to do more with your computer in less time.

The bright 15.6-inch LCD offers a 720p native high-definition resolution. And thanks to the built-in webcam and Toshiba Face Recognition software on this machine, you'll enjoy a more convenient way to communicate, log on, or share your laptop among the family. Plus, you get plenty of ports and storage to give you the freedom to expand, or hold more files and media.

This Satellite laptop features two super-speed USB 3.0 ports--the latest development in USB data transfer technology. In addition to quicker transfer speeds, your USB 3.0-enabled devices won't require a separate power cable either, unlike eSATA technology.

This Satellite comes pre-installed with the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (learn more below).

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very impressed., August 15, 2012
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5230 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
I bought this laptop based on the previous reviewer's comments, thinking that I may have found a decently priced laptop great for my needs. I took advantage of buying the computer at a local Brandsmart at a cheaper price(hint hint) than Amazon prices. It's light weight, large screen, and the keyboard is very easy to handle.

My concerns after using my laptop for the past week:
1. The computer runs pretty slow for typical web browsing sites; I was very surprised by this because this is a brand new laptop and shouldn't have this issue as though it was infected with a virus that will slow down the processor.
2. There isn't a notification that warns of low battery life before shutting down in the middle of my work. I checked the settings and it is set to show a warning but for some reason doesn't show up at all.
3. The battery life isn't that impressive. I've had other laptops that I've used off and on, shutting it down when not in use, and this laptop doesn't... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price. Good Buy., December 18, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5230 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
Purchased as a general purpose home computer for myself (53) and spouse. Never purchased computer online or through Amazon before this. Took the chance and am I glad I did. Very happy with this Toshiba. Built in wifi works better than expected. First couple of weeks I was using it kept waiting to find something on this Toshiba that I did not like. Nothing, no unexpected negative surprises or issues. Give both Toshiba and Amazon very High Scores. Thanks to both, just made my life better, faster, and happier.

2.0 out of 5 stars great price, not so great laptop, November 12, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5230 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
this laptop is a replacement to my toshiba satellite C655D S5230 that got wet. the first laptop still boots up but the screen does not work. so based on how much i enjoyed my first toshiba (which i purchased directly from amazon in june/july 2011), i decided to get this one.
first thing i noticed is how slow it is compared to the other one. i use my computer for microsoft office,email, fb, youtube, just general internet surfing. i don't play games, i don't download music or movies or anything like that. that said, i think this computer should be more than sufficient for what i do. i had it about 2 months now, and i already had a blue screen ...twice. then a few times when i was on youtube the video stopped suddenly and the area where you view the video appeared dark green, then the entire screen went black and when it came back it said the video driver (something with AMD) suddenly stopped working but recovered from an error.

a computer this new should not be... Read more
