Since recently, new laptop models have started appearing with the same specifications as some older ones. One of the examples is the Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5307, which is identical to the discontinued C855D-S5110. True, there may be differences such as different Wi-Fi cards or hard drive models, but generally these are the same laptops. Judging from the product pages, the only difference is $10 lower price tag on the C855D-S5307, which costs $360.
The 15.6-inch textured matte plastics-cladded laptops have the AMD A6-4400M dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard disk, besides a DVD burner, stereo speakers, webcam, HDMI, and three USB ports.
Toshiba’s C855D-S5307 is clearly a budget mobile machine with capability to effortlessly complete your routine computing tasks. Performance-wise, it has a clear lead over similar models with the AMD E-series processors. Therefore, the S5307 delivers optimal price / performance ratio for users who don’t need a high-end laptop for 3D gaming or any similar highly intensive task.
