Unpacked notebook and then already the first (slight) disappointment. From the Toshiba usual good processing unfortunately is not much left.
Cover and finish while brushed aluminum (ice blue), but looks more like a delusion.
The frame of the display does not work very solid. Clearances although all within the normal range, but Toshiba has obviously saved on material.
A slight pressure with a finger on the edge of the DVD drive and have to bend the plastic mitsammt the drive cover with durch.Auch on the other side at the level of the fan siehts no better.
Those who handle carefully with his notebook, will indeed have no problems. But at eight Wi-handling (especially on the road in the backpack) should not be surprised if at some point the first cracks, breaks the plastic arise.
The hinges between Corpus and display (opening mechanism), however, are very well made and should not be a problem.
Unfortunately, the new laptops are now equipped with these "chiclet" keyboards. Anyone who knows the good Toshiba keyboards with pleasant pressure point, will be very disappointed here. While you can tap, but good-quality Toshiba sees (saw) different. The characters on the keys are not glued but lasered act.
But as I 98% eh use an external wireless keyboard, this circumstance was not a KO criterion.
However, a notebook for which Toshiba EIA estimated 899EUR (much cheaper here) processing is an impertinence.
This can be seen even with the argument of weight loss (the notebook is about 2.3kg easy) sugarcoat.
Good quality processing in this price segment is different!
So to criticism processing, the Meritorious hardware and performance.
The computer with the operating system boot Win8 with me with just under 45 seconds. Pretty fast.
At first I was very skeptical before the new Win8. The menu is a la smartphone but can not jedermannssache.Man fortunately also with a free tool that easily switches in his usual Win7, XP, Vista and even boot mode.
The important thing mentioned: In Win8 notebooks, you get no license key, this is stored in the BIOS.
Microsoft will probably therefore prevent the utility and install on third computers.
The performance is quite good according to an all-rounder. The calculator works smoothly and quickly, you hardly hear the fan ... unless you're just using a 3D game zugange.Hier needs from you and correct the settings slightly down, but since it can otherwise stutter.
For Office and image processing applications (Photoshop, etc.) the calculator works flawlessly.
The only complaint with the performance: the internal speakers.
Although "SRS Premium HD" is full-bodied with the advertised software ... but even when switching this software the volume and quality (it sounds tinny and quiet) just insufficient. When connecting an external speaker on the other hand, is a clear has to offer the sound card, more so than her superiors internal speaker.
Conclusion:
Toshiba has delivered in this price range when it comes to high-quality processing a lot better. The L855er series (the 870er will be hardly different) here is a clear step backwards.
Since the hardware is, however, more than enough for an all-rounder or desktop replacement, I'll keep the notebook.
Unless you carefully with the device bypasses and a modern computer with good Prozesser, good internal memory (8GB) and a sufficiently large Fetsplatte wishes, you will certainly be happy with the L855-148. The offer price here at Amazon is then in the frame, it may also not be higher, however ... it at least as good equipment produces the competition now an often cheaper.
PS: battery life about 3 hours 15 minutes (rather average) is enough for me.
4 stars for performance and the well-tuned hardware,
1 star deduction for processing, keyboard and internal speaker
