| chass6's Full Review: Toshiba Satellite 2755DVD (PS275U-4K9J0K) PC Noteb... |
This is my first purchase of a portable computer so I wanted to do my homework. I wanted to buy a portable computer that would allow for both productivity and play. As I was comparing between the different brands out there, I found that many carried fewer features for the same price.
One thing that attracted me to this particular model was the amount of video ram is carries, at 8MB/s it is really good. I saw other brands in its price range with as little as 2MB/s. As a game aficionado that was a big thing for me. I found it to be really appealing in this area. The fact that is also has DVD drive makes it a good value, the first thing I did with it was pop in a dvd disk in it, I was really impressed with the quality of the playback.
When it comes to productivity, the fact that it can run Windows 2000 on it is good if one plans to choose that path. The fact that you can adjust the speed at which it runs was a plus also, which it also helps to conserve the battery. I think anyone who has been considering on buying a laptop should really give this one a good look.
The only thing I found that was a downer was the fact that you can't change the screen resolution. This may be the case with all LCD displays though, as I've never used one until now. Although this may be a small annoyance than anything else, it would have looked much better when using programs that use different resolutions, such as games.
All and all I am very pleased with the performance of this machine, and all the things one can do with it. Looks like Toshiba hit a home run with this one. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!
