Are you a student In search of a back to school laptop or just someone who needs a laptop that can handle both your class work and some gaming in your downtime? Toshiba's Satellite S55t-A5277 may be just what you're looking for. This 15.6-inch touch-screen notebook features a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 740M graphics chip with 2GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of hard drive space.
THE DESIGN
I would be unfair if I don't give credits to Toshiba for this great design. Toshiba has put quite a bit of work into sprucing up its notebooks for the back to school season, and the Satellite S55t is no different. Like its sibling the Satellite P55t, the S55t sports Toshiba's new Skyline design language, the primary focus of which is to afford Toshiba's notebooks a more refined look. That starts with the Satellite S55t's Ice Silver-colored brushed aluminum lid. Adorned with a chrome Toshiba logo in the bottom right corner, the lid's appearance is sleek and understated.
Open the lid and that brushed aluminum design continues to the laptop's spacious and comfortable wrist rest. Above that is the notebook's glossy black plastic keyboard deck. A thin silver speaker grille adds some character to the inside of the notebook, while an edge-to-edge glass display lends the laptop an air of elegance.
On the exterior of this laptop Toshiba equipped the Satellite S55t with a number of connection ports and jacks. On the right side are two USB 3.0 ports, a full-size HDMI port, a VGA port and headphone and microphone jacks. On the left side is a single USB 2.0 port that supports Sleep and Charge and Sleep and Music. The former allows you to charge your USB devices using your notebook even when it's powered down. The later lets you listen to music stored on your smartphone when the notebook is turned off. The notebook's left side also plays host to an Ethernet jack and a SuperMulti DVD drive, as well as the power adapter. Up along the notebooks front lip is its multimedia card reader.
GENERAL PERFORMANCE
The laptop with me here in packed with a fourth-generation 2.4-GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor, 12GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 740M graphics chip with Optimus technology and a 1TB, 5,400-rpm hard drive, the Satellite S55t is a portable powerhouse. To test the Toshiba's real-world performance, I opened 12 tabs in Google Chrome, streamed a video over Netflix and ran a Norton PC Checkup, and didn't notice a hint of system slowdown.
THE PRICE
Depending on your location and the configuration of the one you are going for the Toshiba Satellite P55t will cost you around N90.000 to N140.000
