Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 with Intel i5 5200u CPU Specs and User Reviews

The newly released Toshiba satellite C55-C5240 is not quite different to its predecessors. In terms of its casing, look, and overall design, the C55-C5240 is similar to all Toshiba satellite laptop series. The keyboard measures around 14 inches, has the same Toshiba signature keyboard style, and has a number pad at the left. The only noticeable difference is its finishing textured plastic casing in matte black that adds to its natural sophistication feel and vibe.

A housed frameless style was integrated in the keyboards. The new design lessens key bouncing and minimizes typing noise. A number pad is also included to help professionals have quicker and easier access to numbers.

Screen

When it comes to the screen display, the Toshiba satellite C55-C5240 is a beast. The 15.6 high definition widescreen gives its user an elegant gaming and browsing experience. The notebook promises stunning, crystal clear viewing experience with its 5500 Intel HD graphics.

Best Blu-ray player 2015

The new Full HD TVs have a very superior image quality than we are used to enjoy in previous tube TVs or plasma: they have better definition, better technology, better digital image quality…

Therefore it is important that you consider that if you have a new HDTV, DVD can’t offer you sufficient quality when enjoying movies. It’s time to change and make that final leap to Blu-ray.

Blu-ray format vs. DVD

If you do not know the benefits that the new Blu-ray offers compared to DVD, you should know that the gap is abysmal from one to the other. DVDs have a limited storage capacity of 4.7 GB on a single layer disc and 8.5GB on dual-layer discs, and the data transfer rate of a DVD (the speed at which you can read ) is limited to barely 11.1 Mb / s.

MSI GE62 APACHE-002 Gaming Laptop Review (i7 + Geforce GTX 965M + 8GB ram)

Introduction

I don’t know if this is due to the incorporation of the new graphics chips from Nvidia, but I get the feeling that the prices of the most interesting units from Nvidia, the classic series within its laptops line for gamers, have extended their range significantly. One of the most striking models is the new GE line. These models of 15.6 and 17 inch screens have always been a reference among users that seek a gaming laptop with interesting features at more attractive prices than other classic brands in this market niche.

The MSI GE62 APACHE-002 is one of the first laptops we’ve seen with a graphics chip such as the Geforce GTX 965M from Nvidia. It comes with quality features and some unconventional elements, which is another thing that we have always liked about MSI laptops. At first glance, this laptop has few weaknesses but, unlike the previous versions of this series, we can’t find it below the 1500 Euros range and that, today, it’s a price high enough so our level of demand and quality must also be consistent with that price range.

MSI GE62 APACHE-002

Technical Specs

While Intel still has to present the Broadwell varieties for laptops, we must continue conforming with Haswell quad-core processors in more powerful gaming laptops. These processors provide four real cores with eight processing threads, thanks to Intel Hyperthreading technology. Actually, Broadwell processors will not mean great performance improvements over these models but, undoubtedly, it will make for better integrated graphics and more controlled consumption.
