Toshiba Satellite L850- Great Performe

It has now become a trend, the rise of another sub-category within the bigger category

laptops that are sort of mid-range in terms of price, but also dressed up for a gaming party, even if at a lower level. Toshiba Satellite L850 feels like a completely traditional laptop. After all the ultrabooks and their limited ports, the Satellite L850 seemed like a happy change.

Power the keyword. The Intel Core i7-3610QM quad-core processor powers the L850, clocked at 2.3GHz, with Turbo Boost mode taking it to 3.3GHz. The goodness doesnt stop there, with 8GB of RAM added to the power package. This is definitely more powerful, at least on paper, than the Aspire V3, which has an Intel Core i5 clocking at 2.5GHz and 4 gigs of RAM. The tiled keyboard of the Toshiba Satellite L850 is well spaced out, helped by the margins offered by the 15.6-inch display. It is surprising that while the Satellite L850 is lighter at 2.3kgs than the Acer Aspire that tips the scales at 2.6kgs, the latter feels lighter to pick up and carry around. The L850 is built very well though, and the brushed metal finish intertwined with the matte black along the entire package means it should appeal to almost everyone, and looks shouldnt be an issue at all. In terms of graphics capabilities, both have almost equal potential, but stand in very different corners Toshiba has the ATI Radeon 7670M chip with 2GB dedicated graphics memory, while the Acer Aspire V3 has the Nvidia GeForce GT630M also with 2GB dedicated graphics memory. The 15.6-inch display on the Toshiba Satellite L850 is absolutely brilliant. The brightness levels are quite high, and tend to act as an antidote for the slightly reflective nature of the display.

It will be very comfortable for both office users as well as for multimedia viewing. Toshiba have gone a step ahead and offers a 750GB hard drive with the L850. Also, Toshibas Satellite L850 is slightly more future ready, with two USB 3.0 ports. Battery life is a huge disappointment with the Satellite L850. No matter what, the battery will not last more than 90 minutes at full taxing mode. Not a surprise though, with such a powerful package and the stock 6-cell battery to provide the backup.

In short, the Toshiba Satellite L850 is one solid desktop replacement category laptop. However, for better raw system performance, the Core i7 on the Satellite L850 is the one to consider.
