Toshiba Satellite A655

The newest Satellite models from Toshiba are following the same trend as previous releases from HP and Lenovo which include a wide range of models with AMD processor configurations. AMD in years past has been left on the wayside, but this year they have made a huge push in becoming available in more notebooks.

The new models are split up into three main categories: high performance, budget, and travel-friendly. The A655 and M645 will be the frontrunner systems with the fastest processor options, dedicated graphics options and even 3D-capabilities. The budget-friendly midrange systems include the C600 and L-series models which span screen sizes from 13 all the way up to 17.3-inch desktop replacement systems. For those of us who prefer a lighter-weight configuration for road-warrior purposes, the T200 series fills that gap with 11.6 and 13-inch models equipped with AMD Neo single and dual core processors while only tipping the scale with a 3.3lb starting weight.
