Good laptop for the price
By virgilisepic
I bought this laptop as an early christmas present for my girlfriend after shopping around for days looking for something in this price range, with dedicated video and 6gb of Ram.

The laptop is fast enough for what she wants (multimedia, video editing) and the battery life isn't great when in performance mode (obviously) but it has Eco mode which definitely extends the battery life into the 4 hour + range. If you're looking for a laptop that has these specs (quad core, etc) you must not care much about battery life.

If you want something with a long battery life, buy a Netbook. I am typing this on my Asus netbook which has a battery life of over 6 hours. But the performance is terrible in comparison (and I paid over $450 for this netbook)

In a nutshell, this Toshiba is a pretty awesome laptop for this price range, best I could find, and is pretty snazzy looking as well. She loves it. The performance, the looks, the fancy lighted mousepad, etc. It does great for multitasking and video editing and would be a great laptop if youre looking for a good performing, great price laptop.

It's a 5.9 windows 7 rating, if that helps anyone. And also it stays cooler than my netbook when on my lap, it is pretty amazing. I'm actually jealous, and may be buying myself a full size laptop now.

Pretty happy, but the battery upsets me.
By Cyntax Turbo
So I used to own a Dell laptop, it was pretty old and I found out by accident that coffee in fact will not speed up a computer. So I was in the market for a good laptop on a budget. I admit, I wasn't looking at Toshiba at first. I have heard mixed reviews, BUT Bob used to say, "The Price is Right" so I got one. I'm really thrilled with the performance, overall its a good machine. Runs as good as my desktop which is what I was basically looking for. I was really excited to see the battery life was 5 hours when I bought it. Hot dog, perfect for when the power is out or I am on a long road trip. However....not the case. At BEST the battery has a 3 hour life. Realistically it lasts about 2.5. I only like Half-Life when it involves Gordon Freeman.

All in all I would recommend this laptop to a friend but I would suggest if you have the cash shell out for the big battery the one that comes with the box is not what is advertised.

Hey, wait, maybe I could use that to get a new battery...

In few words I will write full review of Toshiba Satellite P755D-S5378 which includes:
1. Price versus value
2. Specification
3. See pictures for more information's

1.Price versus value

Price of laptop is: $662.99
Shipping price is: $13.03
Super Saver shipping: - $13.03
Sales Tax: $58.84
Total price is: $721.83

If you compare this laptop $662.99 with others laptop in same price you will find laptop have APU like Intel core i5 and core i3, but all of them have can't play game with high setting.
Don't let benchmark in the others website confuse you, my brother have laptop with core i5 but the difference in CPU performance does not matter. Because AMD Quad-Core A8-3500M never goes up to 60%.

Others Laptop with same price:
1.Samsung Series 3 NP350U2B-A01 12.5-Inch Laptop
2.Dell Inspiron i15RN-3647BK 15-Inch Laptop
3.Sony VAIO VPCEG34FX/W 14-Inch Laptop

2.Specification
CPU: AMD Quad-Core A8-3500M (1)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6620G (1)
HARD DISK: Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 SATA-2
RAM: 6 GIGABYTE. Dual Channel. 128 bit
DIMM1: Samsung M471B5273DH0-CH9 4 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz)
DIMM2: Samsung M471B5773DH0-CH9 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz)
Optical Drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N SATA CD Rom Device

2. ATI Radeon HDMI
Display: Monitor LG Philips LP156WH4-TLA1 15.6 LED
15.6-inch widescreen HD TruBrite LED-backlit display with native HD 720p
Final words.
I play many games like pes 2012, Sniper Ghost Warrior with full setting up to 2 hour without any problems. Temperature of APU never goes above 54 C. Very cool.
Battery life up to 4 hours for me (2)
Notes:
1.CPU + GPU put it in one die which called APU (Accelerate Process Unit).
2.Battery life depends on setting of your laptop.  Too see the price
