Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-C5204 15.6″ 2-in-1 Laptop with Intel i7 / 8GB / 1TB
The Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W-C5204 is a premium-class 2-in-1 notebook with a 15.6-inch display mounted on a 360-degree hinge. The hinge allows the laptop to be converted to multiple modes, such as tablet, or multimedia stand and tent.
The aluminum-skinned 5-pound and 0.8″ thick Toshiba Radius P55W-C5204 looks stately elegant. The 15.6″ touch display has great specs, since it provides sharp Full HD 1920×1080-pixel picture and IPS wide viewing angles. Under the hood, it well equipped. The laptop comes with the 5th Generation Intel Core i7-5500U dual-core processor. The CPU is an excellent choice for those who use the notebook for demanding tasks a lot but don’t want to go for pricier and bulkier notebooks with less power-efficient quad-core i7. Since it relies on the basic Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics, the notebook doesn’t have the graphics chops to handle premium gaming well, but you should be able to run some older or simpler titles. Toshiba has included 8GB of RAM, which is sufficient even for heavy multitasking scenarios. Hard drive storage of 1-Terabyte is generous, too. RAM and HDD are not user-upgradeable. The P55W-C5204 doesn’t have a built-in optical drive, but that’s not a surprise given the notebook’s thin design.
Toshiba has outfitted the system with stereo speakers, a HD 720p web camera, 802.11AC and Bluetooth wireless connections, wired HDMI and wireless WiDi external display video outputs, three USB ports, a media card reader, and a combo mic/headphone audio jack.
The 3-cell battery has a mediocre capacity of 45 Whr, but we have no info on battery life.
The Toshiba Radius P55W-C5204 comes with the latest Windows 10 OS pre-installed.
