Classy one-man show. The website for the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 states the notebook is a “Powerful and attractive multimedia entertainment” device. This claim arouses our curiosity and makes us wonder if this is an empty promise or if Toshiba can truly deliver on its claim. In this review, we will find out.

The Toshiba Satellite series of notebooks has been a bestseller for years. This is not surprising as the devices are marked as “everyday notebooks” with “everything one might expect from a notebook” yet at “an especially low price”, according to the manufacturer. This claim suggests that the notebook series is a not only a jack-of-all-trades, but rather a master-of-all-trades at a super bargain price. While this marketing lingo may seem a bit over the top, we can hardly reproach Toshiba for using such flowery language as many other manufacturers do as well. The purpose of this review is to separate mere marketing slogans from actual facts.

A large variety of devices is available under the Satellite branding. Our test device is the Satellite P855-107 and is one of the higher-end, better equipped models. This configuration was originally priced at 1449 Euro (~ $1760) but has already been reduced to a price of 1299 Euro (~ $1570). By comparison, the lowest Satellite model costs approximately 449 Euro (~ $549). This price difference is due to the fact that the Satellite P855-107 offers an excellent configuration centered around the latest Intel Ivy BridgeCore i7-3610QM quad-core processor. This CPU has a base 2.3 GHzclock and a Turbo Boosted maximum speed of up to 3.3 GHz. This should provide the multimedia notebook with more than sufficient processing power. The CPU is paired with a 15.6-inch Full HD 1920x1080 display that supports Nvidia 3D Vision technology, allowing the user to view 3D content without active shutter glasses.

This combination makes the Satellite P855-107 sound impressive. In this review, we determine if the notebook can fulfill Toshiba’s rather enthusiastic claims.

While many multimedia laptops that offer a good performance-to-price ratio are delivered in cases with unsatisfactory workmanship and designs, this is not the case for the Toshiba Satellite P855-107. On the contrary, the full-body aluminumcase is excellent, with even gaps and a high-end feel. The surface’s slightly wavy texture also gives the device a rather professional touch and it does not attract dust or fingerprints as some other devices might. Even the color benefits from the texture as the surface appears titanium despite being labeled as “silver” by the manufacturer.

We also have to critique the very thin display lid which visibly dents under selective pressure from the top and is also prone to twisting when open. Both hinges could also be a bit bigger and stronger. While the screen remains firmly in position, it obviously teeters.

The Toshiba Satellite P855-107 offers a higher communication standard than many other notebooks. The device uses the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller for wired networking and the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 for IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. The latter provides support for the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) profile for low power connectivity and high-speed data transfer based on Wi-Fi. This leaves little to be desired except perhaps support for the less-common 802.11a 5-GHz frequency band. Based on the class of this device, we did not expect a built-in 3G / UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) module so the lack of one is not a disappointment.

The Toshiba Satellite P855-207 comes in an extremely compact retail box that provides barely enough room for the notebook itself and the huge included power supply. Consequently, it is no surprise that the package includes no accessories. There is, however, a comprehensive list of purchasable accessories available on Toshiba’s website. These include USB docking stations, port replicators, laptop cases, and power supply units. The optional 14-inch USB-powered external display is an unusual accessory as it receives both video signal and power from the single USB connection. We consider this to be a clever option for a mobile presentation monitor.

In terms of freeware, Toshiba is very generous. Unfortunately, freeware is not something we typically approve of as it is freely available for everyone to download as they see fit, hence the name “freeware”. The included Skype is an example of this and is freely available from the Skype website. As well, the included McAfee Internet Security and Microsoft Office 2010 Starter are programs no one truly needs as the former is time-limited and the latter has limited functionality. On the other hand, the included Neroburning suite is useful for backing up data or creating disc media.

The Satellite P855-207 has a maintenance cover on the underside that is held in place by merely one Phillips-head screw. The user should take care when removing the fragile plastic cover as it tends to snag in a few places. Removal of the cover grants easy access to both the system’s working memory and the hard disk. Both of these are easy to upgrade or replace. On the other hand, the fan is inaccessible and Toshiba did not design the notebook for further accessibility of the core components.

Toshiba provides a 24-month warranty for the Satellite P855-107. On the website, “compatible services” are also offered. The “One-year, no-matter-what-happens” warranty is available to private users at a cost of 59 Euro (~ $73). As well a “Four-year, international warranty for notebooks” costs 109 Euro (~ $135), a fair price in our opinion. The Data Recovery Service starts at 12 Euro (~ $15) and is also potentially interesting. More information about these and other options can be found on the Toshiba product website.

When considering the keyboard of the Toshiba Satellite P855-107, the first thing we noticed was the very smooth, glossy black surface of the individual keys which tended to become annoying in unfavorable lighting. Nonetheless, the keys’ size and 1.5-millimeter (0.06-inch) drop were both complaint-free. The 7-centimeter (2.8-inch) space bar is extremely, and strangely, short. The space bar was reduced in size to allow the arrow keys, which are also very small, to be merged into the lower right area of what would normally be the standard keyboard field. Fast typists will occasionally hit one of the adjacent ALT keys on accident. The twelve Function keys are also smaller than the letter keys. The number pad, on the other hand, pleasantly uses standard-sized keys. The keys generate a high-pitched noise while typing but the sound is not subjectively cheap. In short, the keyboard scores quite well but does have a number of peculiarities.

Similar to the keyboard, the touchpad also has a few oddities. The Toshiba Satellite P855-107 uses the Synaptics ClickPad V1.4 with dimensions 10.0 x 6.4 centimeters (4.0 x 2.6 inches), a size that is not very big but ultimately sufficient. The dark gray, slightly roughened surface provides accurate feedback. This touchpad lacks physical mouse buttons. Instead the buttons are integrated into the touchpad’s lower left and lower right and the keys are accordingly outlined on the pad. A symbol found in the upper left corner indicates whether the touchpad is deactivated which can be temporarily accomplished by tapping on the pad twice. Principally, the touchpad works well and responds reliably to inputs and usually provides accurate control. Sometimes, inputs are partially executed after a short delay. While the system was under full load in the system stress test, we were unable to control the notebook using the touchpad. In this case, the mouse pointer only performed actions once every few seconds. On the other hand, the cursor responded fluidly to an external USB mouse.

The Toshiba Satellite P855 comes in two flavors. The first of these is the low-end 800 Euro (~ $980) Satellite P855-30H which features a WXGA 1366x768 15.6-inch display. The core components also use less expensive equipment. Our Satellite P855-107, on the other hand, is equipped with a 15.6-inch glare-type 1920x1080Full HD display that is enclosed by a similarly glossy black bezel.

The single largest feature of this TN display is its 3D functionalitythat does not require active shutter glasses. In order to achieve this, the notebook uses an Nvidia graphics card that supports 3D Vision technology, the display panel features a 120 Hz frame rate, and the front face-tracking camera continuously analyzes the user’s eye position. We tested this implementation by using a 3D movie. The 3D effect works astonishingly well while sitting directly in front of the notebook. and remaining mostly motionless and focusing one’s view on “nowhere”. After looking away or moving, however, it takes a few seconds for the 3D effect to be restored. We found that 3D rendering is accompanied by a slight blur.

In our test lab, we found that the Satellite P855-107’s display does a good job but still exhibits a few shortcomings. For example, brightness could be better as we measured a maximumof 282 cd/m2 and an average of below 260 cd/m2, a level decent for use in very bright rooms. However, sunlight caused the display to devolve into a black hole. Additionally the 80 percent illuminationis not particularly homogenous. In specific, the upper right area is too dark when compared to the rest of the screen. The measured deviation of 40 cd/m2toward the center of the screen is perceptible using the naked eye. However, this impression does not have a negative impact on routine use except perhaps in very dark movie scenes.

The 15.6-inch display has decent image quality. The fairly saturated blackallows dark images to appear truly black and not merely dark gray. The high contrastalso ensures a visibly good image. Moreover, the colors appear quite natural, although they could still be a bit more vivid. In this regard, the red and bluehues appear a bit pale. We found no issue with the display’s focus.

We measured sRGB color space coverage of 82 percent which limits the display’s suitability for professional image processing and editing. Other multimedia devices typically do a better job. For example, the Acer TravelMate 5760G-2454G50Mnsk achieved an sRGB coverage of 88 percent.

With a weight of just under 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds), the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 can be conveniently carried around, for example on the terrace. But in this case, there needs to be an umbrella or parasol .The screen’s brightness combined with the very reflective surface makes the display essentially useless in direct sunlight. However, it remains possible to use the Satellite P855-107 in a shady place.

A reoccurring issue with most TN displays is viewing angle stability. While Toshiba cannot pull a metaphorical rabbit out of the hat and the Satellite P855-107’s screen demonstrates the inherent weak points of TN display technology in terms of viewing angles, the P855-107 ultimately does a good job all things considered. Colors remained stable for a significant angle horizontally and only contrast deteriorated. In this case, the display had enough overhead for even better performance. In the vertical axis, the screen was more susceptible to distortion. Looking down at the screen from the top, the display contents faded extremely and the typical TN-based color inversion occurred quickly in the other direction. Nonetheless, lap-top use is feasible due to the display lid’s generously wide opening angle.

The Toshiba Satellite comes in two configurations. The entry-level P855-30H is available for 799 Euro (~ $980) and features the Intel Core i5-2450M dual-core processor with a 2.5 GHz base clock, 3.1 GHz Turbo Boost clock, and 8 GB of working memory. Our P855-107 test device is more powerful and better equipped, traits that are reflected in the higher 1299 Euro (~ $1599) price. Not only does our test configuration have a higher resolution display, the core components are significantly better. For example, the P855-107 uses a high-performance Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3 GHz quad-coreprocessor. As long as the processor is capable of handling excess heat, the built-in Turbo Boost 2.0technology allows the CPU to overclock itself to a maximum single-core speed of 3.3 GHz. With all four cores operating under Turbo Boost, each core can reach a maximum of 3.1 GHz. The processor also has a 6 MB Level 3 cache. The processor’s 45-Watt TDP(thermal design power) could hardly be called energy-efficient but is fitting for a multimedia notebook such as the P855-107.

We conducted a battery of tests to determine if the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 is capable of fully exploiting the Intel Core i7-3610QM‘s full potential. In both Cinebench R10 and Cinebench R11.5 benchmark suites, we found that the notebook is capable of taking full advantage of the processor. In both cases, we were able to assess the pure processor performance in both single- and multi-core operation. The first thing we noticed is that Turbo Boost works flawlessly. The core(s) reached maximum clock speeds in the test and maintained it during the entire benchmark process. Moreover, the same score was achieved when operating on battery power.

The Toshiba Satellite P855-107 achieved 4438 pointsin the Cinebench R1032-bit single-core test and 17354 points when using all four coresin the multi-core test. This scaling factorof 3.91 reflects the slightly higher single-core Turbo Boost speed. By comparison, our test device’s scores fall between devices using the same CPU and laptops using the fastest processor from the previous Sandy Bridge family, the Intel Core i7-2920XM. In the Cinebench R11.5 64-bit test series, the test device achieved a score of 1.36 for single-core operation and 6.2 points in the multi-core test. This 4.6 scaling factoris even better than in the previous test.

Based on the specification, the hard disk sub-system is not a strong point of the Toshiba Satellite P855-107. The P855-107 uses the Toshiba 750 GB 5400 RPM MK7575GSX conventional hard disk.

As mentioned in the previous section, the hard disk is not particularly efficient. This was confirmed in HD Tune and CrystalDiskMark. While we were able to record sequential data transfer rates of over 90 MB/s in read and write operations in the latter, we measured an average transfer rate of only 75 MB/s in HD Tune. On the other hand, we observed an acceptable access time of 17.2 milliseconds. The use of an SSD cache would have made a lot of sense in this Toshiba notebook.

The Toshiba Satellite P855-107 uses two graphics cards. The first of these is the processor-integrated IntelHDGraphics 4000 found in Ivy Bridge processors. The second is the dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 640M. The latter is a mid-range graphics card based on the 28-nanometer Kepler architecture. The GT 640M in our test device is supported by 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. While all GT 640M configurations use a 128-bit memory interface, other notebooks might use faster GDDR5 memory. This graphics card provides performance between that of the GeForce GT 555M and GeForce GTX 460M.

While the GT 640M supports Nvidia Optimus technology that conserves power by switching graphics cards based on performance requirements, the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 lacks this feature as the use of Nvidia 3D Vision technology precludes the use of Optimus at this time. Therefore, the dedicated graphics card is always enabled in the P855-107 and will likely reduce overall battery life.

In performance testing, the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 was unsurprising. The graphical performance fell short of upper limit of notebooks using the same graphics card, likely due to the use of slower DDR3 memory. The Satellite P855-107 scored 7064 points in 3DMark Vantage, a result that is between those of the Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition (Intel Core i7-3612QM and AMD Radeon HD 7730M) and HP Envy 17 3D (Intel Core i7-2670QM and AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT) and is thus in good company. In 3DMark06 and 3DMark11, the results followed the trend and we observed no abnormalities. Results on battery power were the same as those on AC power.

We found the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 to be mostly unobtrusive in terms of system noise, at least as long as it is not placed under full load. While idle, we measured an audible but hardly-disturbing average noise level of 31.6 dB.At times, the noise level reached a maximum of 33.6 dB but the notebook only maintained this level for a very short time. When copying larger amounts of data, the hard disk’s noise became dominant and the overall observed noise level rose to 33.7 dB. The much-noisier optical drive raised the noise level to 39.5 dB during DVD playback and we felt this level could potentially interfere with movie enjoyment, especially in quiet surroundings.

Upon opening the Satellite P855-107, we immediately noticed the Harmon-Kardonlogo that adorns both speakers, indicating that Toshiba has given some thought to the speaker system for this notebook. The built-in Realtek ALC280Q-GR sound card also features SRS Premium 3D sound. Subjectively, had we not known that the sound from the Satellite P855-107 was coming from a notebook, we might very well believe it had come from a stereo system. Aside from the restrained bass, there were no complaints that might suggest the audio system is based on notebook speakers. The sound was clear, powerful, and more than sufficiently loud. The speakers are definitely suitable for games and movies, and even music can be fully enjoyed as long as it is not classical or opera.

The combination of large screen, powerful CPU, and dedicated graphics that cannot be deactivated via Optimuscause us concern regarding the power consumption of this multimedia notebook. Nonetheless, the results while idle were acceptable. Using the Eco Mode, the recommended energy-saving options set by Toshiba, we measured a power consumption range of 12.4 Wattsand 17.9 Watts. In routine use, we measured a power consumption of 16 Watts, a moderate consumption level.

The situation is completely different under load, particularly when the graphics card is fully loaded. The Satellite P855-107 consumed 66 Watts from the battery in the medium load range and just below 90 Watts when both the CPU and GPU were fully loaded. These consumption levels are no problem for the included 120-Watt power adapter. The Fujitsu Lifebook E781 is more energy-efficient but obviously lacks a dedicated graphics card. In light of this, we consider the power consumption of the Toshiba notebook to be absolutely acceptable.

During our power consumption test, we noted that the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 uses a 48-Wh lithium-ion battery. Our initial concern during consumption measurement was that the rather small battery combined with the hefty consumption would result in a shorter runtime.

In our battery runtime assessment, our fears were confirmed. Even under the most ideal conditions, Toshiba advertised the notebook as having a maximum runtime of five and a half hours as measured by Mobile Mark 2007. We used the Battery Eater Pro test suite to determine the maximum and minimum runtimes. In the Reader’s test, using minimum brightness and with wireless communication modules disabled, we measured a poor runtime of 4 hours 27 minutes. In the power-hungry Classic test, used to measure minimum runtimes, the Satellite managed less than an hour. As neither of these tests are significant for everyday use, we used our own Wi-Fi surfing test during which we set the display brightness to 150 cd/m2 and enabled wireless modules. Our test simulates browsing the Internet and the 15.6-inch Satellite lasted almost exactly three hours. This result rules out the use of the notebook for longer surfing sessions and movie nights while off AC power. While we managed two hours during DVD playback, the sample notebook was unable to play even a standard movie with its 90 minute runtime when playing Blu-Ray. These results are not exemplary for a multimedia device. Overall, battery life proved to be average at best.

In summary, we found the Toshiba Satellite P855-107 to be mostly positive. We were satisfiedwith the 15.6-inch multimedia laptop’s workmanship. The textured surface and choice of materials made a high-end impression. The display lid could have been a bit stiffer though.

The display also has its strengths and weaknesses. While its brightness is not outstanding, the black value and corresponding contrast are good, leading to a fairly decent image quality. The reflective glass surfacemakes outdoor use difficult and the merely moderate viewing angle stabilityis typical of TN displays, but not disturbing. The greatest features of the display are the Full HD resolution and glasses-free 3D functionality. Although not perfect, 3D Vision was fun to use.

The Toshiba Satellite P855-107 usually demonstrated a pleasant operating noise. Unfortunately, the Blu-Ray drive did not follow suit and its noise was annoying audible. The thermal design is the largest point of criticism for the multimedia notebook. During our stress test, we observed heavy throttling which may or may not be noticeable during routine use. Nonetheless, it does not shed a favorable light on the cooling system and indicates the potential for some degree of throttling during continuous, high load use during extreme gaming in high ambient temperatures.

Nonetheless, we can recommend the Toshiba Satellite P855-107. This 15.6-inch device is a good choice for users looking for a high-performance multimedia device that can serve as a home desktop replacement. Even most modern games run flawlessly. The device has small flaws, but then again all notebooks do. However, with a retail price of 1300 Euro (~ $1570), it is not exactly cheap either.

Their 15.4" diagonal widescreen TruBrite displays enliven movies, games and photos while making spreadsheets and multitasking less of a chore. A built in microphone and Webcam bring excitement to real-time communications. Plus, a convenient optical drive makes it easy to load programs, share work or create custom music mixes.
