Cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price if you really need a computer, but the quality wasn't great and the computer qas very slow right out of the box. I'm not a fan of Toshiba. I'd go with Asus
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from ToshibaStaff
Posted .Thank you for the review, Jordanwolf, and sorry to hear that you're not fully satisfied with your Satellite C55-B5101.
Since you mention lackluster performance right out of the box, I wonder if Windows Update has been busy downloading & installing updates. That's typically the case on brand new systems, and if so it will tax initial performance for a period of time until Windows has finished updating itself. You may want to run the Windows Update app to see what it's up to, if anything. If it has critical updates to install, I recommend having it complete that process ASAP and rebooting when it's finished (even if not required) to see if performance improves significantly once that process is complete. We don't recommend letting Windows Update install any "optional" updates since those can overwrite drivers & utilities that are optimized for or by Toshiba. Optional updates should be installed only via the Toshiba Service Station app or by visiting support.toshiba.com.
Of course, the perceived speed & responsiveness of any PC will depend somewhat on the number of programs and processes currently running on the unit at any point in time, and their respective demands on various components, subsystems, and networking resources. Rebooting Windows and then checking performance after loading each individual app is one way to determine when the resource load begins to impact performance, and which apps most impact performance.
That said, if you just need a higher performance model you may want to consider our Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 models available with generous RAM and storage options.
Thanks again for the feedback.

great machine for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.was looking for a lap top that i could use for work, had a dvd drive, a decent processor and was light weight. made more sense to buy a new one than a refurbished one.

Good Laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well for a moderate user. Not a gaming system by far but great for basic home PC use such as emails and home office use along with Netflix and other media viewing activities.

Started good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I know this is 2 years old now but I thought I should state my opinion. I got this for me daughter to use for school work, only at home. It has been a great laptop, except. Screws keep falling out of the bottom. The battery was causing problems and on closer inspection one of the clips was broken and it was also broken where the clip attached to the case. I had to tape it in on one side to keep a good connection. I figure when the battery fails I will have to buy the housing and transfer the innards over. We have another one of these from the year before that is also having problems with the screen going blank and a problem can not be found as to why, yet.

So far so good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the value this laptop was a great buy! I bought it for my mom who uses it for browsing and online classes. The only thing i don't like is the way Microsoft is making people subscribe to Office via a monthly subscription. No complaints on the laptop so far!
