Offering plenty of mobile computing power plus room to multitask, study and play, the Toshiba Satellite L855D-S5242 offers a generous 15.6-inch LED-backlit HD display that's great for doing more things at once - handling business at home or in the field, watching movies or playing online RPG games. It has got a full-size keyboard and 10-key pad for smoother typing and data entry plus chambered stereo speakers for high-definition audio playback.
It's powered by a second-generation 1.9 GHz AMD A8-4500M quad-core Accelerated Processor, which combines a CPU and a graphics processing unit (GPU) on a single chip, helping to accelerate daily applications while also delivering lower power consumption. You'll also get an extra boost of performance (up to 2.8 GHz of power) for those demanding calculations or graphics-heavy tasks, right when you need it and greater power efficiency when you don't - thanks to AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology. It's complemented by AMD Radeon HD 7640G discrete-class graphics with support for DirectX 11.
While the all-purpose, eco-smart Satellite L855D is light on its feet at just 5.3 pounds, it's packed with powerful computing resources, including a SuperMulti drive that can burn a plethora of disc formats and plenty of ports and storage to give you the freedom to expand, or hold more files and media. And thanks to the built-in webcam and Toshiba Face Recognition software on this machine, you'll enjoy a more convenient way to communicate, log on, or share your laptop among the family.
This Satellite laptop features two super-speed USB 3.0 ports - the latest development in USB data transfer technology. In addition to quicker transfer speeds, your USB 3.0-enabled devices won't require a separate power cable either, unlike eSATA technology.
