Ventilation is excellent on this laptop ... I even played some games with it ... and even with higher fan speed ... it still stays quiet .. and really stays cool ... really like this model
This is my new computer! Had a brand new Samsung that broke five days ago. It was on a warranty, and as Staples (or Bureau En Gros here) didn't have the same model, they gave me a merchandise card, so I decided to buy this Toshiba laptop. Verdict: Happy as happy can be! It's a much faster computer than my previous one, even though specs were almost the same (i5-3210M with a NVidia GeForce GT630M instead of a Radeon 7670M). Except sound and keyboard feel, this Toshiba beats the Samsung by a mile!
Just wanted to mention I was able to get windows 7 up and running successfully on it and it runs great. Most of the drivers did come through by Windows Update as you said and the only one I needed to install offline was for the ethernet adaptor to get things going initially. The main hurdle I had initially was figuring out what to do in the BIOS to even allow Windows 7 to be able to install in the first place but once I did everything was good.
im soooo happy u posted this vid so i can see how the laptop looks... i already baught mine off amazon its the Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5148 but the AMD version.... cant wait till i get it in my hands but im not in NY no more so it taking foreverrrrrr :'(
It is an amazing llittle machine and yes it is a good choice for games ... the graphics card is quite good and for editing . it should be quite good also ... very good performance out of this computer
I'm considering buying this laptop right now (same model with slightly higher specs). How would you say the fan is? A lot of my previous laptops have had a lot of problems with poor fans and lack of ventilation.
I just checked and you are right .. only Windows 8 ... that's interesting ... they realy had Windows 7 drivers ... it seems they stopped support for Windows 7 on this one .. I would still install windows 7 on it ... I think it's going to work .. and most components will get their drivers from the Windows update site ..if you get this laptop .. borrow a friend windows 7 disc and try it for the 30 days trial (no serial number) if it works you'll know and if not .. you can re-install windows 8
You can buy this laptop and get a Windows 7 DVD to install on this computer it will work. as time goes by... it's increasingly harder to get windows 7 laptops
I bought the same laptop with i7 processor and 1TB hard. Its just awesome good battery life. runs very cool doesnt get HOT like many hp laptops. I highly recommend this.
There is no way to downgrade to windows 7 from windows 8 .. you have to buy a windows 7 DVD and erase ..reformat and isntall windows 7 ... it does not matter what ersion you have ...
I'm getting this laptop soon actually from a relative, I've been hoping to throw windows 7 on it but their don't appear to be any windows 7 drivers for it. (for the chipset and other hardware components) will the windows 8 drivers still install on windows 7?
the 850 has a Core I3 processor ... it's a slower processor than the I5 in this laptop... but if you font have too much money ..can still be an ok laptop
And if you are willing to save some money, the S855D from Future Shop is at 599$. It has the exact same aluminium build and speakers. It has a AMD A10-4600M processor with a 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7610M dedicated card. The performance is similar to the S855-01K with the exception it has a DVD drive instead of a Blu-Ray one...
If I tell you you can play The Witcher 2 or Grand Theft Auto IV or Skyrim on high settings, you can be certain you can play Minecraft! I was floored to experience this computer as being able to play The Witcher 2 on High specs for 30-32 fps, which means the game is more than playable at these settings. Some games are less optimised for the graphics card, but all in all it's a fantastic computer that is good value for money (try to get it at 700$, if not, 800$ is a good price).
Really? I just checked Toshiba Canada Support site for the model s855 pskfwc-01k008 which is what this model is and every driver that shows up only lists Windows 8 in the OS category. Could there be a different model that uses the same components but has windows 7 drivers available?
My camera isn't working! Or my videos, and it wont let me play my music. When I try to take a picture it says "Something went wrong with taking this photo." Any idea why???

I agree that the keyboard is not the best... I have an old dual core toshiba .. and find that the keyboard is much better..

Do the USB 3.0 support regular USB male?
who does, apart from microsoft and other companies that have a financial stake in windows 8?
64 bits ... since it has 8 Gb of memory ... only the 64 bits version can see that much memory
be careful ... at 300 they are not the same machine at all ... much less performance
