Compare Notebook or Laptop Computers

An Office Depot special...with a price at a penny less than four Benjamins this Toshiba represented a nice offer that I couldn't pass up. No, its operational speed isn't as snappy as my i7 desktop or the MSI i5 laptop I looked at just a few spots down from the demo of the C655D at the store, but it certainly smokes the Aspire One netbook I had been relegated to using full time as a portable computer when my old 15.4" Dell notebook finally called it a life. And only $50 more than what I spent on said netbook 2 1/2 years earlier.

I paid $350 for this laptop. Whatever you do not pay more than $400.

While this laptop is nothing compared to a sony vaio or a Macintosh... for a budget laptop the performace of this laptop supercedes numerous other machines.

3gigs of ram. and 2 core processor is what you MUST have nowadays
its not that heavy, however the battery has rougly 2.5 hours of time (with normal brightness and internet use)

what i do not like about this laptop
NO WEBCAM!!! i mean it is a budget laptop, but come on webcam parts are soo cheap!!! i would have paid $10 extra for a webcam
it is pretty wide however that helps with the size and clarity of the screen.
the cd drive is pretty bad quality, sometimes if you play a cd the cd drive motor gets really loud!

other than that this laptop is great and gets the job done.
THANK YOU OFFICE DEPOT!!!

This was a present for my parents. they really love it. the specs on it were good on my end, and definitely support everything my parents need it for and more. all in all, a very happy purchase. it did come refurbished so box packaging wasn't that great, my parents were worried it would be all banged up, but once they opened it and starting using it, there has been nothing but praises and no complaints.
