Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 Reviews

I am concerned I will soften the Toshiba C55-C5240 up half. I know it's unreasonable—I know it's most likely not exactly that shoddy a tablet. It's a genuine apprehension, however. Shut, the C55-C5240 resembles a fine portable PC—smooth dark with a false brushed metal top and downplayed Toshiba marking. It's not the ugliest portable workstation I've utilized by any methods. It is, be that as it may, one of the flimsiest. Opening the C55-C5240 has a craving for attempting to open a sack of potato chips in a peaceful classroom. Lifting from either corner of the cover causes the entire screen to flex and squeak unfavorably, because of the truth the screen is basically a half-creep of shabby plastic.

Shutting the top is the same snatch a corner and you'll watch the screen truly twist before the pivots begin to move. You could most likely twist this screen into the state of the St. Louis Gateway Arch with negligible exertion, in spite of the fact that I wouldn't suggest it. It'd most likely abuse your guarantee. This is the place Toshiba traded off, however. This modest, feeble plastic encasing the standard 15.6-inch 1366x768 screen. It's the one thing that drags down a generally surprising tablet—or if nothing else one that is noteworthy in this value range.

Indeed, that and the mouse catches, both of which are solid and fantastically noisy. The right mouse catch's springy clunk clamor rapidly drove me up the wall—and I'm somebody who utilizes Cherry MX Blue consoles at home, a.k.a. boisterous and clacky keys throughout the day and night. These mouse catches sound almost as noisy as an old IBM Model M clasping spring.

Talking about consoles, the C55-C's is situated flush with the case—an extravagant Apple-esque impact that sadly isn't coordinated by the nature of the switches themselves. I didn't have any issues writing in essence, hitting my standard words every moment/mistake numbers, however the keys themselves are somewhat soft and unacceptable to sort on for long extends. That is a minor bandy however, and I'll take full-sized yet soft keys over clacky-yet little any day of the week.

Nothing else particularly emerges about the C55-C's outline. The trackpad is a bit on the little size for a fifteen inch portable PC, yet not unusable. The sound quality is shocking, yet that is keeping pace with whatever remains of the portable workstations we took a gander at in this level. The tablet is likewise shockingly substantial, considering how wobbly it feels. Accuse the HDD and optical commute, I figure—this thing comes in at semi-compact 4.8 pounds.

As I said, the C55-C5240 reliably beat each other portable PC in this arrangement of audits. That is thanks in vast part to the way that it's pressing a 2.2GHz Intel Core i5-5200U processor. The main other portable PC to match that is the Acer Aspire E-15—yet where the Acer just has 4GB of RAM, the C55-C5240 has 8GB. The C55-C5240 is the main tablet we took a gander at here with 8GB of RAM. What's more, balancing the internals, we've got the standard Intel HD 5500 coordinated design and a 1TB 5,400 RPM hard commute. Not very shabby.

Those specs bailed the C55-C5240 beat the most astounding PCMark 8 scores over every one of the three of our test classes. The Home Conventional test—web scanning, written work, minor photograph altering, feature talk, et al a.k.a. the things you're destined to do with this portable PC—was particularly to support Toshiba, with the C55-C5240 posting a score of 2,527. The Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series was the nearest contender with a score of 2,210. (In spite of the fact that obviously both could not hope to compare to your common gaming tablet, which ordinarily scores around 3,500-4,000.)

The PCMark Creative and Work Conventional scores were closer calls, with the C55-C5240 scoring 2,198 (to the Acer Aspire E-15's 2,055) and 2,771 (to the E-15's 2,669). As such, the C55-C5240 still pushes out the opposition however by an imperceptibly little sum. It's likewise important that the C55-C5240 has the best gaming execution of any of these portable PCs—however that is still not saying much. In the 3DMark Skydiver test the C55-C5240 turned in a score of 2,791. By correlation, even a moderately underpowered gaming portable PC like the 2014 Razer Blade Pro scored 11,586. You won't be playing any top of the line amusements on the C55-C5240, however you could presumably enjoy some less-requesting outside the box titles.

The one bottleneck on the C55-C5240 is its awkwardly moderate 5400 RPM hard commute. Notwithstanding sitting tight for the C55-C5240 to boot into Windows 8.1 is an exhausting suggestion, and that inclination is maintained by CrystalDiskMark the C55-C5240 turned in the slowest scores of any portable workstation here, with a Read rate of 95MB/s and a Write rate of 99MB/s. What's more, that is likely a most ideal situation. This is no SSD. That conceivable additionally brought about the E-15 scoring better on our Handbrake encode, wherein we transcode a 30GB MKV document. It took the C55-C5240 seven minutes longer (2 hours and 29 minutes) to transcode than the E-15 (2 hours and 22 minutes), despite the fact that the C55-C5240 outmaneuvered the E-15 convenient
