    I would contact Toshiba, they should be able to give you the correct information.

    Did you check under the battery? If Toshiba gave you or you can burn some from your C855, that would allow you to re-install Windows 8 and it will most likely be pre-activated.

    Hi Robert,

    Could you help me by giving your thoughts about your laptop as Im thinking of buying C855-2EV.

    What I would like to know:
    speaker quality
    is there any heat problem during heavy use
    screen quality
    weight (as some say 2.1kg to 2.2kg, while others say 2.3kg to 2.5kg)

    Thanks

    I would just remove 8 and put Windows 7 on it. Much better result on the C855.
