Toshiba Satellite A665-S6085
The last time we study a model A665 Toshiba Satellite A665D-S6051 from Toshiba
, impressed us greatly so the 16-inch notebook in the other table a couple of incredible-sounding Harman Speakers Harman. No other great features and performance set the A665 deaf, as a decent choice as a portable entertainment and nothing more. Fast forward three months later and the new, but identical, Toshiba Satellite A665-S6085, is presented. Fortunately, this time, Toshiba equipped the A665-S6085 with more robust components, applications that encourage laptop performance they need. Toshiba has also added a Blu-ray, thus increase the credibility of the A665-S6085 entertainment is a step further.
Design
The frame of the A665-S6085 is covered with black plastic with a textured pattern that crosses the trunk lid and the keyboard. Usually prefer more solid feel you get from a laptop that uses a metal frame. Others may have different preferences, but there is something disturbing about pressing the trunk lid or keyboard and see the plastic body easily bend under the weight of my fingers. At least the weight of the laptop is 5.55 average for 16-inch laptops.
According to Toshiba A665-S6085 is flat keyboard, which is a pretty accurate description, because the square shape of keys isolated seems an awful lot like the tiles of Scrabble. The keys are a decent distance and not suffer any significant downturn. My numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, when a group of touch-sensitive buttons sit above the keyboard. The keys to launch the eco-utility Toshiba enables Advanced Power Management, 802.11b/g/n change radio on and off, adjust volume, play and pause the media player and replace the logo backlit in bottom left corner of Toshiba and the rest of the wrist and a thin strip LED above the touchpad. Unlike the Toshiba A665D-S6051,
A665-S6085 does not have a backlit keyboard . The touch pad sits flush with the palm rest supports multitouch gestures, and a smooth surface that makes it virtually effortless.
Features
The sound speaker Harmon Kardon A665-S6085 is as impressive as the Toshiba A665D-S6051 domed. The audio has a richness rarely experienced at this price, and I was surprised how the speakers could get high without distortion. I could hear bass response that leaves the two small speaker grilles. If music is your thing, you can connect your MP3 player to the A665-S6085 to play through the speakers of the laptop through the "Sleep-and-music" feature, even if the laptop is on standby or off.
If movies are more up your alley, not just film music is also very good speakers cry A665-S6085, but the portable Blu-ray movies you can watch high definition. The screen is simply awesome and the movies are very clear with bright colors, but since the screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 will not be able to enjoy Blu-ray movies in 1080p native real. I also found that the glossy screen was used to throw back all the glare, but the darkest room. Toshiba has also made what I consider a stupid move with Toshiba Web camera application.Bar is partially hidden on the left side of the screen until the mouse over it, then the application window appears completely open. However, the bar is always present, regardless of what is on the screen of the films, including full screen, which can be very annoying. To watch movies on the A665-S6085, you'll want to close the Toshiba Web Camera application or prevent the automatic first.(

To watch Blu-ray movies at 1080p, you must send the video signal A665-S6085 is an external monitor using a laptop or HDMI VGA ports. In addition to these connections, A665D-S6085 also sports ExpressCard/34 slot, a 7-in-1 media card reader, Gigabit Ethernet and 4 USB 2.0 ports, one of which does double duty, an eSATA port. Combo USB / eSATA can also be used to download the USB and eSATA-based, while the computer is asleep or off. Please note that this "USB Sleep and Charge" feature is disabled by default (as described in "Sleep-and-music" feature), and if you want to use it, you'll have to sleep Toshiba utility.
Performance
Unlike the low-power 1.6 GHz AMD Phenom II P920 that led to the Toshiba A665D-S6051, A665-S6085 used in much faster than 2.4 GHz Intel Core i3-370 million. While the Core i3-370 million has two processing cores, it still works circles around the four core Phenom II-P920. For example, the A665-S6085 scored 5428 in PCMark Vantage, while the Toshiba A665D-S6051 could only muster a score of 3502. The 370 million is currently the highest-end Intel Mobile Core i3. As such, the performance of the A665-S6085 is also faster than the 2.27GHz Core i3-350M-based Acer Aspire TimelineX AS5820T-5951, which received a score of 5233.(

The Acer AS5820T-5951 costs about $77 less than the A665-S6085, at least in part because of its slower processor, smaller 15.6-inch display, and lack of a Blu-ray drive. The even larger 17-inch display in the Editors' Choice HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl, as well as a higher-end 2.4GHz Core i5-450M processor that make that model about $200 more expensive than the A665-S6085. The primary difference between the Core i3-350M and Core i5-450M processors are that the Core i3-350M doesn't support Intel's Turbo Boost technology, while the Core i5-450M doesit has a max Turbo frequency of 2.66GHz. On PCMark Vantage this gives the HP dv7-4083cl close to a 5 percent edge over the A665-S6085. Another factor that makes the HP dv7-4083cl more expensive is its discrete ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 graphics card, unlike the integrated Intel GMA HD graphics engine in the A665D-S6085. This means that you can actually use the HP dv7-4083cl for some moderate 3D games, but the A665D-S6085 is limited to mostly just casual games.
With the addition of a Blu-ray, and speakers, including sound and look amazing big screen, the Toshiba Satellite A665-S6085 is still very much an entertainment hub than its predecessor. The transition to a Core i3 is now also the performance of the A665-S6085 is highly competitive territory. But the lack of armor for the A665-S6085 has its battery life below average, if you use your laptop near a power outlet for long periods of time, so need to consider other alternatives, such as Editors Choice HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl.(
