"This is my second Toshiba laptop. Since I had good experience with the first one, I knew I could rely on the Toshiba brand. I did about 1-2 weeks worth of comparison shopping before I purchased this laptop. Even though this laptop is meant to be a backup computer I needed to make sure it had reasonable performance for work. I do graphic and video editing, so the computer had to be able to run editing applications. According to the system requirements and what forum users had to say, the processor would work well. And so far it has done everything I needed it to. I have used the computer for gaming, graphic editing and some video processing. And so far it has performed quite well. It processed a short video in just under a few minutes, when it would have probably taken longer on my Macbook Pro. And I didn't expect to be playing the latest games on this laptop, but it has run Diablo 3 without much of an issue (although not on the highest settings, so don't expect to play games that require intense graphic rendering). I like that the laptop doesn't weigh a lot, but it makes it difficult to open the lid with only one hand. You have to hold the base down, otherwise you end up lifting up the entire laptop. It's a minor thing, but I just thought I'd mention it. Otherwise the fact that it's light is great, since I frequently move up and down stairs with it depending on where I'm working. It doesn't feel cheap....just light. Another minor issue, I wish the USB and headphone inputs weren't so close to the front of the computer. It just feels awkward for some reason and I would have preferred them closer to the screen/back of the laptop. Again, not that big of a deal, but worth pointing out. The keyboard felt a bit tighter - the keys closer together - than my Macbook, so it took some time to get used to it. It didn't take that long to adjust and I actually think I can type faster on the Toshiba. So, I'm pleased with the keyboard. Overall, I give this laptop top scores for performance and functionality. I would recommend it to a friend, and I would recommend it to anyone needing an affordable laptop with good performance."

"Toshiba laptops have always come highly recommended and having experience with other brands has kept my frame of thinking towards Toshiba products permanently. It would take quite an outstanding product at an even more outstanding price than what Toshiba offers to even make me reconsider another brand."

"The Satellite C655-S5231 Laptop has everything I need to accomplish tasks I have with respect to the price. I only wish it was designed with more usb ports and the power adaptor was positioned on the rear of the laptop. I have not had any issues so far."

"This laptop has been great so far. Runs fast, downloads as fast as connection will allow, Lightweight (great for students), big hard drive and great memory for the price. I don't use facebook though, just lots of general internet use (e-mail, shopping, surfing) playing media (mostly music) and running standard programs (Adobe, Word, Excel). Would recommend for anyone on a budget who needs something for general purpose on-the-go use. One downside: there are only two usb ports, so if you plan to use an external mouse you will only have one left to work with."

"My Toshiba is a month old and it is already giving me problems. I play facebook apps and am constantly popping up with line _ is full. Also closes my page unexpectedly frequently. Speakers are very weak evenat full volume. I'm not happy with my purchase and wish They hadn't run out of the Toshiba model that I originally wanted."

"I saw the lap top in an ad, and I liked the price. I'm not crazy about it. It runs slow and you have to push hard on the mouse buttons. I feel like this is a situation where you get what you pay for. The price was good, but not crazy about the quality."
