Toshiba Satellite S855

Toshiba Satellite S855

The Toshiba Satellite S855 is the 15.6-inch member of the new S-series family. The company has on offer the budget Satellite C and L series and the “performance” P series, while the S Satellites offer fashionable style and is aimed at entertainment enthusiasts.

The elegant brushed aluminum-topped design of the S855 in Ice Blue color is complemented with a spacious trackpad surrounded by a chrome-like edges and a black raised tile style keyboard. The notebook’s 15.6-inch screen is a glossy one, which generally speaking does suffer from glare, but on the other side gives better contrast and more vivid colors when compared to the anti-glare displays. That’s Toshiba’s unsurprising choice, since watching movies is an important purpose of the notebook. For some users, it might be disappointing that this laptop doesn’t have keyboard backlight, which is present on the 2012 P-series.

Not all specifications of the Toshiba Satellite S855 are known. The company has announced that the S-series will include the 3rd Generation Intel Core processors or the latest AMD chips, with AMD dedicated graphics as an option. However, we have found only two models on the US market – the S855-S5254 and S855-S5264, both with the 3rd Gen Intel Core i7 3610QM quad-core processor, 8GB RAM and a 1,366-by-768 pixel resolution. It is not known if there will be higher-res models available, but we don’t think so, because Toshiba usually sticks to 768p panels on the 15.6” consumer notebooks. The former model runs on the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and has a 750GB hard drive, a DVD burner, and $800 price tag, while the latter comes with the AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2GB GPU, 1TB HDD, and a Blu-ray combo drive. It costs $950.

The laptops have stereo speakers with SRS Premium Sound HD technology, HDMI and VGA video outputs, a pair of USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port, Bluetooth, and a multi-in-one media card reader.

The battery life is up to five hours on the S855-S5254 and up to four hours and 38 minutes on the S855-S5264.

The notebooks weigh about five and a half pounds and measure 1.14-1.31 inches in profile.

Besides the 15.6-incher, Toshiba also plans to release the notebook in the more compact 14″ and desktop replacement 17.3″ form factors.
