The manufacturer does not offer any model-specific accessories either. It is nevertheless sufficient for occasional videoconferencing via Skype.Īpart from the compulsory power supply, Toshiba does not include any additional accessories for the Satellite L50-B-182 in the standard configuration. The webcam incorporated into the display bezel has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, which is rather common. The connection was still unbroken even over one story away. We did not observe any weaknesses in the Wi-Fi range in the tester's personal settings. In addition to the mentioned Gigabit LAN, Intel's Wireless-AC 7260 module supports wireless communication with current Wi-Fi standards and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. Its price is identical, but it has a stronger CPU/GPU combination. We also compared Toshiba's Satellite with the IdeaPad Z50-70 from Lenovo. We will attempt to make a direct comparison between devices with an identical configuration and price point anyway.įor example, Acer's Aspire E5-571G-536E only has a weaker i5 CPU, but it has a stronger and thus gaming suitable Nvidia GeForce 840M graphics card. The not as tech-savvy private user can easily lose the overview among the details in the multimedia category.
There are quite a few contenders in this sector. Since digital video discs are not yet extinct, the DVD burner still makes a lot of sense. The hard drive's capacity of 1 TB is also absolutely suitable for using the laptop as a data tomb for music or video collections. Nevertheless, the computing performance supplied by Intel's Core i7-4500U, AMD's Radeon R7 M260 graphics card and 8 GB of RAM sounds decent, and it gives hope that applications will always run smoothly. At first glance, Toshiba's Satellite appears to be an unseemly laptop without any special bells and whistles that lets it stand out from the mass of 15-inch laptops, and which allows browsing on the couch after work, excessively consuming YouTube videos or watching a DVD.
Multimedia laptops are usually all-rounders that are not inevitably focused on computing power - a sufficiently sized screen of 15-inches or more, a generous hard drive, and ideally a DVD drive are enough to make the desktop computer superfluous for private users.
