    hi all


    I just picked up the Toshiba satellite c655-s5121 laptop 15.6" 250gb hd from offfice max for 300 bucks. I was wondering what everyone thought of this. I still have it in the box....I was going to buy the toshiba netbook nb505 for 280 when this deal came along....

    I miss an hdmi connection, but the reality is the netbook wouldn't have had one either.

    What do you think about this machine???? I see virtually no reviews online!
    Thanks!

    I think the saying goes, "you get what you pay for".
    I would consider it a low end machine, but still a great pickup if it fulfills your needs.

    I did look up the specs and it's a single core Intel Celeron CPU (1 core, 1 thread). Comes with a decent amount of HDD space but lacking on RAM as it is only 2 GB (easy upgrade). Overall, not bad for $300; nice pickup. :)


    Do a review and post some pics. Good luck

    you think i'll have any problems running my o nline sports packages on it???

    my plans are to play video from the net, maybe run a video like a dvd once and a while,

    also run word while running a web browser to complete job applications

    Will this thing do the trick????
    My assumption was if the netbook would do it why wouldn't this.

    I think it should be able to do those things.

    Congrats on your new machine. :D
