Asus ROG Strix G17 review: Great low-budget power

Let’s get one thing clear up front: I’m not a fan of Asus’ ROG laptops. The company’s popular line of gaming hardware has a reputation for quality reliability, and many other writers at Laptop Mag have raved about laptops like the Asus Rog Strix Scar 18.
But the elements of a gaming laptop I was looking for weren’t met when I tested the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17, which was let down by its so-so display, cheap looks, and $3,599 price tag. So when I pulled the Asus ROG Strix G17 out of the box, I was apprehensive. It looked similar, and I figured it would suffer from the same issues—wait, this laptop is only $1,399?
Sure, my basic gripe with its thin exterior remains, but it’s not as off-putting given the low price. The Strix G17’s excellent productivity performance and great frame rates, as well as its RTX 4060 graphics card, speak for themselves when gaming. While I would criticize anything over $2,000 with a display of this quality, it’s pretty vivid and bright for midrange hardware. With so much power for such a cheap product, it’s easily one of the best gaming laptops under $1,500, so
ASUS ROG Strix G17 Price and Configurations
The Strix G17 model we reviewed is $1,399 at Walmart. It features an AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 laptop graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. It also has a 17.3-inch, 2,560 x 1,440 display with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time.
LAPTOPMAG’s latest videoIt can also be upgraded to an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor, an RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of SSD storage, and is priced at $2,199 on the Asus website.
Asus ROG Strix G17 designAsus has built a hulking behemoth, and I’m struck by its size every time I turn around and see the 17.3-inch Strix G17 sitting on the desk next to me. It has the iconic ROG logo printed on its lid, which glows white when the laptop is on, along with distinctive white spots on the black painted portion of the back bar. Lifting the lid reveals a large panel with a full keyboard, with the WASD keys featuring clear keycaps and white plastic underneath that absorbs the accompanying RGB colors well. The panel also has a row of angled triangles that give it an aesthetic.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same design issues I noticed when reviewing the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17. While the milled aluminum chassis sounds nice, I could feel the panel sink when applying pressure to certain points of its thin chassis. I’m less forgiving of the Strix Scar 17 considering it costs over $3,000, but at least for this laptop, its build quality is understandable for its $1,399 price tag. The hinge also causes the lid to collapse in on itself near the bottom, and it feels pretty wobbly when adjusted.
Asus ROG Strix G17 PortsI rarely review laptops that have absolutely no ports on the right side, but the Strix G17 does. Other than that, it offers enough functionality for most people to play games without extra accessories.

I watched the trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and while it wasn’t noticeably vivid or bright, the claymation-like aesthetic of the turtles running around a stylized New York City had solid color outlines. The sketchbook quality of its world came to life with the display’s balanced contrast, and I was mesmerized by the various lights of the city against the night sky.

Fujitsu Lifebook S936 (6600U, 512 GB) PalmSecure Laptop Review

With its new flagship, Fujitsu has turned its sights on the traveling business user, for whom a mobile, all-around worry-free package is worth the money. It doesn’t change its core competencies, and the manufacturer has screwed up some details, but it won’t stop the target audience from buying this laptop.The new Fujitsu Lifebook S936 is a feature-rich ultra-compact laptop that keeps its focus on mobility, flexibility, versatility, and security. According to the manufacturer, the laptop is aimed at business people who travel frequently. Depending on the model, the price of this laptop is not cheap, ranging from 1500 to 2500 euros (about 1662 to 2769 US dollars). Although this laptop is not currently available in the United States, it is available in many countries in Europe and Asia.


Our test unit costs 2449 euros (about 2713 US dollars) and is designated by the manufacturer as VFY:S9360M87BPDE, and Fujitsu lists its details here. It is the top model of the series and is equipped with an energy-efficient Intel Core i7-6600U dual-core processor, a generous 20 GB of RAM, a Full HD IPS touch display and a 512 GB SSD. Graphics calculations are done by the Intel HD 520 GPU integrated in the CPU.
A special and unique feature of Fujitsu is the touchless PalmSecure sensor, which identifies the user by individual vein patterns (eg in the palm of the hand) and is said to be more secure than iris or fingerprint sensors. Fujitsu provides more information about PalmSecure technology here. Security functions are completed by the latest Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a smart card reader and related features of Windows 10 Pro or Windows 7 Professional (optional downgrade when installing W10) such as hard disk encryption.
The manufacturer further emphasizes mobile connectivity. In addition to the LTE/UMTS module with GPS, it is also equipped with Intel Wireless-AC 8260, as well as one of the current leading technology WLAN modules.


Our test unit came with two power supplies and a dock, which, in addition to an extraFujitsu Lifebook S936 battery, offers a number of extra connections for stationary operation. In our test model, the drive slot was occupied by a DVD burner, but can be optionally accepted as a Blu-ray burner, an extra battery, or an empty dummy insert.

Huawei MateBook 13 (2020) review: A low score

It’s a compact laptop with surprisingly powerful features, but we’re not fans of its connectivity. If this laptop were a boxer, it would be short, skinny, and sturdy. It has a lot of power, but that only becomes apparent when you throw it into a fight. This laptop’s power comes from Intel’s 10th-generation Core i7-10510U processor, and thanks to discrete Nvidia graphics, a fast M.2 SSD, and 16GB of RAM, it has all the right components.


Considering the MateBook’s slim frame, this is pretty good for the line. While most 13-inch laptops are over 300mm wide, this is just 286mm. It’s also only 14.9mm thick.
Huawei still found room for one of the best cooling systems we’ve ever seen in an ultraportable, which helps make it one of the fastest laptops we’ve tested with a Core i7-10510U. Just compare it to Huawei’s own MateBook X Pro, a pricier and supposedly more powerful laptop, which the MateBook 13 easily outperformed by 25 percent with an overall benchmark score of 104. The MateBook 13 also lasted several minutes at turbo clock speeds between 4GHz and 4.8GHz to add power. The downside is fan noise, but that only came up during particularly difficult tasks, not general use of the Huawei MateBook laptop.Huawei MateBook 13 Laptop Battery
Battery life is good, if not exceptional; in our tests, a score of 8 hours and 15 minutes is enough to get you through a workday, but you won’t be able to last much longer without a quick recharge.


However, Huawei makes full use of the GeForce MX250 graphics card, which is slightly better than the integrated graphics from Intel and AMD. For example, Metro: Last Light averaged 44.9fps at 1080p, while Dirt: Versus averaged 89.6fps.

That extra performance means you can play many games at the 2,160-by-1,440 screen resolution.
Mental math experts will note that this equates to a Surface Pro-style 3:2 aspect ratio, rather than the 16:9 of most screens. The extra pixels also mean a higher density than a Full HD (1,920-by-1,080) panel, making it easier to see two windows side by side on the screen. It’s also a touchscreen, and color accuracy is good enough even for web designers, with 90.4% sRGB gamut coverage and an average Delta E of 0.94; but not for print designers, as it has 62.9% Adobe RGB coverage. Despite a relatively low contrast ratio of 990:1, don’t despair if you’re looking for an after-get off work entertainment system. It handles dark, moody scenes well, and a pair of decent speakers means you don’t need to plug in headphones. The drums lose something in translation, and you wouldn’t want to listen to heavy metal with it, but the same is true of most laptop speakers.
The only two physical connectors here, aside from a 3.5mm combo jack, are USB-C, one on each side. Huawei bundles an adapter with HDMI, USB, and VGA connectors, but that doesn’t make up for the annoyance that the left USB-C port only supports charging and data transfer, while the right port is for data transfer only. If you want to connect a monitor, you’ll need to dig out that adapter.
We were also disappointed to see 802.11ac wireless instead of Wi-Fi 6, and the only good news for owners of recent Huawei and Honor phones is: With Huawei Share, you can tap your phone to a sticker below the keyboard and quickly share files between the phone and the laptop.


An unfortunate side effect is the Huawei Share sticker itself, which ruins the minimalist lines of this laptop. You can peel it off, but Share will no longer work. There’s a huge trackpad on the left side, paired with a backlit keyboard with large keys. It’s not our favorite way to type, with little feedback, but at least it’s quiet.
Huawei built a fingerprint reader into the power button, but note that the webcam squeezed into the top bezel doesn’t support Windows Hello. It takes terrible photos, but its videos are passable for Zoom.


Should you buy the Huawei MateBook 13? Its speed is indeed excellent, and aside from the Huawei Share tab, it looks great. That said, if you’re spending this much money, you should demand a better keyboard and USB-C ports that actually work like the others. It’s a good laptop, but it lacks a killer punch.

Chuwi CoreBook XPro review: A solid laptop with great keyboard for $600

Let’s take a look at a brand you may not be familiar with. We were impressed with the Chuwi CoreBook XPro, and it could be a good choice for your next laptop, as long as you understand its position in the market. Chuwi is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that started out making MP3 and MP4 playback products in 2004. Today, they make laptops, small PCs, and Android tablets. Recently, the company contacted me to review their CoreBook XPro laptop, so I took it for a test drive. A quick note: the company has a video showing off its production facilities. The marketing copy is a bit crude, but the visual tour of their facilities is fascinating.
The machine I received was equipped with a Coffee Lake Intel i5-8259U, which runs at 2.3GHz and can go up to 3.8Ghz. It has a 15.6-inch IPS display with an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, which sits on an NVMe flash module.
The machine ships with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. Since I’m using Windows 11 here, I immediately upgraded it to Windows 11 Home. The upgrade took a few hours, but went smoothly.
I found the build quality to be solid enough. The casing is wrapped in aluminum alloy, but there are quite a few plastic parts and accessories. If you’re careful with it (like you would with a laptop), it should hold up well. If you toss it around like the gorilla in the old luggage commercial, your mileage will definitely vary.
The 15.6-inch IPS screen is a highlight of the XPro. The bezels are only 6mm thick, allowing the display to fill nearly all of the available space. With a 16:9 aspect ratio, the display is great for movies and videos. The display resolution is only 1920×1080 (1080p), but the display quality is excellent. Coupled with the surprisingly clear and powerful dual speakers, movie playback is a treat. The screen is also quite pleasant for traditional office work. It’s clear and easy to read, and I used it for hours at a time without any eye fatigue.Chuwi CoreBook XPro BatteryLife and KeyboardThe battery life is OK. With the screen brightness turned down a bit, I was able to get through a two-hour movie, but just barely. Honestly, if you want to watch a movie, you’re better off plugging in. The charger for this machine is nice and small, so it’s not a hardship to carry the power brick when traveling. The battery is not removable or replaceable.
When doing normal productive work, such as when writing this article, I found that I could get about four hours of use out of the Chuwi CoreBook XPro battery alone. My work pattern is that I tend to combine some video with web and writing.

Dell XPS 11 and XPS 12 preview

Dell’s new line looks pretty good based on what I’ve seen so far. While the PC maker also announced several traditional PCs, I wanted to highlight the hybrid designs that I think take full advantage of Windows 8.x’s unique design: the new XPS 11 and the updated XPS 12. Dell XPS 11This new Dell Ultrabook will be available “later this year.” It has a 360-degree screen hinge so it can be used in a variety of positions, similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga. But what makes the XPS 11 different is the screen: It has a resolution of up to 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD), and it’s an 11-inch display. This tells me that the XPS 11 needs Windows 8.1, as this version will add some relief (on the desk) to very high DPI displays. The XPS 11 is less than 15mm thick and weighs less than 2.5 pounds. And it looks great. The Dell XPS 11 ($1,399 list) is the company’s latest convertible tablet/laptop, and it’s one of the lightest and thinnest full-featured devices in its class. The laptop features a nice-looking carbon fiber on both sides, and a higher-than-1080p screen resolution. However, the XPS 11 (Dell) sits firmly in the middle of the pack thanks to a membrane keyboard (rather than a traditional mechanical one) and middling Dell XPS 11 battery performance.
Design and FeaturesThe XPS 11 is a very compact convertible laptop. It measures 8 x 12 x 0.59 inches (H x W x D) and weighs just 2.44 pounds, so it’s certainly lighter than carrying around both a tablet and a laptop. While Apple has made its mark on aluminum construction with the Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Mid 2013) (Amazon), Dell is looking to do the same with carbon fiber. The top and bottom of the XPS 11 are wrapped in carbon fiber for added strength and weight. The effect is quite attractive, as you can see the weave of the carbon fiber (it’s not covered like the Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch ($1,281.75 at Lenovo)). The system’s 11.6-inch touchscreen is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass NBT glass.
Dell XPS 12
As an upgrade to the existing machine, the next-generation Dell XPS 12 will retain its predecessor’s weird-looking but practical “twist frame” screen design, which lets you flip the screen and use the device as a thick tablet. The next-generation XPS 12 will feature new Intel Core “Haswell” processors and offer significantly better performance (1.6 times) and
Dell XPS 12 batterylife (Dell claims up to 8 hours and 43 minutes).
Dell says the XPS 12 convertible laptop will be available in the coming weeks.
I’ve been disappointed with Dell for a while, but these designs look pretty solid, especially the XPS 11, and I feel like it could point the way to a new normal for high-DPI displays in the Windows world.

HP Victus 16 Laptop Review: A 1080p gaming powerhouse with few compromises

A win for HP. The HP Victus 16 is one of the few budget laptops on the market that comes with an Intel Core i5-13500HX processor.The HP Victus 16-r0076TX offers an interesting mix of midrange hardware, including an Intel Core i5-13500HX Raptor Lake-HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 (Ada Lovelace) graphics card. Connectivity: Could use more I/OFor a gaming laptop, the I/O on the HP Victus 16 is surprisingly light. On the right side, there’s a USB-C port, two USB-A ports (all three rated for 5 Gbps), and an HDMI 2.1 port on one end. There’s a barrel pin connector for the charger next to it. The USB and HDMI ports are a little too close for comfort, especially near the HDMI port.
Performance: Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace shineThe HP Victus 16 is available in a few configurations. We used the base model, which comes with an Intel Core i5-13500HX and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU. GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 are available if you want.
Those seeking a more powerful CPU can opt for the Core i7-13700HX version, which can only be paired with a GeForce RTX 4070. Users seeking additional memory can also choose a version with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
System Performance
While the HP Victus 16 performs well as a daily driver, it lags behind the competition in PCMark 10, scoring only 6,125 points.
Its CrossMark score of 1,701 puts it ahead of the Lenovo LOQ 15 and Acer Nitro 16.
The situation is much the same in AIDA64, where the Raptor Lake-HX processors consistently lag behind their AMD counterparts. GPU PerformanceAt first glance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 doesn’t look like the most powerful GPU on the market. It has 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 96-bit bus, 2,560 CUDA cores, and TGP values ​​​​​​between 35 and 115 watts.
A little digging in the Nvidia Control Panel shows that its maximum TGP is capped at around 100 watts, which is respectable. Interestingly, the GeForce RTX 4050 here can “borrow” up to 20 watts of power from the CPU. Gaming PerformanceThe GeForce RTX 4050 excels at gaming, even with just 6 GB of VRAM. It can run every game we throw at it at 1080p 60 FPS with all settings turned up high.
The stellar performance of Cyberpunk 2077 can be explained by Nvidia’s extensive optimizations for the game. Esports titles like DOTA 2 run well on the laptop.
The architectural improvements brought by Ada Lovelace make the RTX 4050 a decent 1080p gaming machine. However, we don’t recommend enabling ray tracing without DLSS as it’s very VRAM-hungry. Emissions: A bit too loud and hot when runningSystem noise

The CPU and GPU each have a dedicated cooling fanWhile HP did everything it could to cool the Victus 16, it had a hard time keeping the hardware in check. The first thing you’ll notice is how noisy the laptop gets under the lightest load, which gets progressively louder when gaming.

Our testing determined the maximum noise output to be 55 dB(A). While it’s well below the threshold of what can be considered loud, it’s not something that will blend into the background without a pair of headphones. HP Victus 16 Laptop Battery Battery LifeThe HP Victus 16 comes with a respectable 83 Wh HP Victus 16 Laptop battery. A 99 Wh battery capacity would have been ideal, but those are reserved for the top SKU only.
In our Wi-Fi web surfing test with the brightness set to 150 nits, the  HP Laptop Batterylasted about 8 hours and 51 minutes. With the brightness cranked to maximum, the battery life dropped to 8 hours and 10 minutes.
Interestingly, the laptop fared even worse in the Big Buck Bunny FHD H.264 test with the brightness set to 150 nits and all radios (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) turned off. It lasted only 7 hours and 39 minutes. Ideally, that number would have been higher. With its powerful processor and 165 Hz screen, the HP Victus 16 is an ideal 1080p gaming machine for esports enthusiasts on a budget, but only if you can tolerate its noise and heat.

Vivobook S 15 is Asus’ first Copilot+ laptop powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor

Asus has announced laptops powered by Snapdragon X-series processors. This news follows Qualcomm’s announcement earlier today (click here to learn more).
The Vivobook S 15 (model S5507) is also the company’s first Copilot+ PC laptop, marking the first time a Vivobook doesn’t use an Intel chip. However, despite the transition to Snapdragon X Elite, the Vivobook S 15 retains the same impressive OLED display as its predecessor.

The 15.6-inch screen supports resolutions up to 2880 x 1620, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak HDR brightness of 600 nits. In terms of internal configuration, the Vivobook S 15 provides users with two Snapdragon X series processors to choose from: 12-core Snapdragon X Elite or 10-core X Plus. This notebook also supports up to 32GB of onboard memory and 1TB (PCIe 4.) SSD storage. Additionally, it supports Wi-Fi 7, ensuring users get the best wireless speeds.


However, one of the most attractive features of the Vivobook S 15 is Asus’ own proprietary StoryCube. Asus says StoryCube is “the smartest, most convenient and powerful way to manage all your digital assets, using artificial intelligence to assist in sorting, editing, managing and exporting captured raw files.” With the help of Snapdragon X processor NPU, with its powerful features, users can expect accelerated performance in a variety of AI-powered applications, including Windows Studio Effects and Cocreator — but we won’t make any judgments until we get our hands on a Snapdragon X-powered laptop.

Review: Alienware m15x Gaming Laptop

This is the most expensive laptop we’ve seen to date. David Hollingworth considers whether you’re getting what you pay for Design-wise, Alienware’s high-end gaming gear can often be either liked or disliked based on looks alone. The company’s design philosophy is so unique that people either love it or hate it; which is why we were quite surprised when this rather understated laptop came through for our testing.
In fact, its simplicity could almost be called retro, and if it weren’t for the alien-head logo in the middle of the flap, you might think of it as an ancient desktop replacement from the past. Flip the lid back, though, and you’ll find Alienware’s designers are still hard at work. Apart from


A standard laptop keyboard and panel might not be much to look at except for the non-standard font on the keys, but open up the m15x and it’s a completely different story. Keyboard letters, outlines, and various other bells and whistles light up from within. There’s even a slim strip of lighting along the entire edge of the screen bevel and touchpad!
This may seem a bit too flashy, but if you’ve ever been in a dark room staring at your keyboard trying to find the B key to bandage yourself in a game, only to hit the G key instead, this is pretty cool. Even better, you can completely indulge in adjusting each piece to one of ten or so colors, from icy blue to dangerous red.

There are more than enough ports scattered around the left and right sides of the phone, and thankfully there are no ports on the back. Of particular note are the USB 2.0 ports and HDMI outputs on either side of the keyboard for high-resolution output on a large screen.


Speaking of bigger screens, the other thing that was obvious from the get-go is that the 15.4-inch screen on the m15x is, well, just a 15-inch screen. Many “gaming grade” laptops opt for 17-inch models – so they’re heavy and take away from portability a bit. The 15-inch screen is still very useful and requires less effort. It’s an interesting choice, and we think it’s a smart one in the long run.


But all the smart choices in the world are for naught if your well-thought-out gaming laptop can’t keep up with the pixel requirements. With an 8800 GTX, you can expect good performance – and you won’t be disappointed! When we realized someone had secretly turned on the m15x’s “stealth” setting (and thus reduced performance to save battery life) and left our machines running at maximum speed, both 3DMark06 and Crysis returned pretty impressive scores.


The former scored a respectable 9312 3DMarks, easily beating the Dell M1730 for the top spot, and ran Crysis at 1280 x 1024 resolution with all settings cranked up quite a bit – averaging 12fps was no mean feat. Turn those resource-intensive settings down a bit and you’ll get a smoother gaming experience, but frankly, it’s smooth enough even at high settings.
Our only option – and a common choice for high-end systems – is 4GB of RAM. The m15x isn’t running a 64-bit OS, so with the 512MB of onboard video taking up Vista’s allocation limit, you’re just wasting all that RAM. 2GB is a more realistic number and brings the price down a bit.


That said, while you’re paying a lot for the m15x, you’re at least getting some great performance, great peripherals (like a Blu-ray drive), and some unique lighting and flash.

Toshiba Satellite L55t-A5290 review

Toshiba is looking to position itself as a laptop with the Toshiba Satellite L55t. This 15.6-inch laptop features powerful processing power, a vivid touchscreen, and an incredibly comfortable keyboard. However, it doesn’t come with Intel’s latest Haswell processor and comes with a slightly mediocre 4-cell  Toshiba Satellite L55t-A5290 laptop battery . With Staples on sale for $713 (after discounts), should you stop by and pick up an L55t?
design
The Satellite L55t looks like the previous generation of Toshiba’s Satellite series laptops: The L55t’s lid and base are made of silver-gray plastic instead of the Satellite P55t’s elegant brushed aluminum design, and the keyboard comes with a glossy black plastic stand. A subtle horizontal stripe pattern breaks up the monotony of the lid and base, and a silver Toshiba logo is printed on the lower right corner of the lid.

The L55t measures 14.9 x 9.6 x 1.13 inches, weighs 5.4 pounds, and feels thicker than the competition. The $679 Satellite P55t is slightly thicker than the L55t, 1.2 inches, but weighs just 5.2 pounds thanks to Toshiba’s new Skyline design. The $699 Acer Aspire M5 measures 15 x 10.08 x 0.68~0.9 inches, weighs just 5 pounds, and feels very thin in comparison.

Exploding orange flowers stand out against the snow-covered Japanese dojo, and we can make out details like the decoration on the Assassin Samurai’s armor.
Vocal Music
The living room of our apartment filled with a roaring baritone choir as we listened to Jeremy Soule’s majestic score for Skyrim. Thanks to the laptop’s DTS Sound software, the audio was virtually distortion-free even when we turned the volume up to 100%, and allowed us to fine-tune the settings for bass, voice, and treble. For quick adjustments, DTS Sound also offers surround, maximum volume and bass boost options. We don’t recommend disabling DTS sound: the audio sounds distant and harsh.
Keyboard and Touchpad Click to Enlarge The Satellite L55t’s island-style keyboard is a pleasure to use thanks to its generous travel and textured keys. The keyboard has almost no flex, and Toshiba was thoughtful enough to leave enough space between the keyboard and the number pad so we didn’t accidentally hit the wrong key when trying to use the Backspace, Enter, or right Shift keys. On the Ten Thumbs typing test, we hit a typing speed of 68 words per minute, which was slightly above our average.
Unlike mainstream laptops like the Toshiba Satellite P55t and Acer Aspire M5, which use Intel’s latest Haswell chipset, the Toshiba Satellite L55t comes with an older Ivy Bridge processor. Still, its 1.8 GHz Core i5-3337U CPU and 8GB of RAM deliver smooth performance, even under heavy use. For example,  in the OpenOffice spreadsheet test, the Satellite L55t matched 20,000 names and addresses in 5 minutes and 50 seconds. That’s about average for the class, but slightly slower than the Satellite P55t (5 minutes, 14 seconds) and the Aspire M5 (5 minutes, 15 seconds).Aspire M5 Battery Life

Click to enlarge Power-hungry power users will wish the Toshiba had equipped the Satellite L55t with Intel’s power-saving Haswell chipset instead of the older Ivy Bridge CPU. In the Toshiba Satellite L55t laptop battery test (continuous Internet access via Wi-Fi), the Satellite L55t’s 4-cell lithium-ion battery lasted 4 hours and 43 minutes. That’s well below the mainstream average (6:11) and the Toshiba Satellite P55t (5:32). The Acer Aspire M5’s 4-cell 3560mAh lithium-polymer Toshiba Satellite L55t battery lasts up to 8 minutes and 55 seconds.Click to Enlarge Like the P55t, the Satellite L55t comes preloaded with a number of Toshiba-branded apps. These include Toshiba App Place and Toshiba Book Place, where you can download (you guessed it) apps and books; Toshiba Start, which acts as a pseudo-Start menu and news aggregator; and Toshiba Central, which offers user guides and support pages the link to.
Third-party apps include Evernote Touch, StumbleUpon, Netflix, Electronic Arts’ Origin, and one-year subscriptions to Norton AntiVirus and PC Checkup. Microsoft-branded applications include trial versions of Skype, SkyDrive, and Microsoft Office 2013.

Configuration
In addition to the configuration we reviewed (1.8 GHz Intel Core i5-3337U CPU, 8GB RAM, 750GB 5,400-rpm HDD), Toshiba offers several other configurations of the L50 series on its website. Prices for these configurations range from $429 for the Satellite L50D-ABT2N22 (1.7 GHz AMD quad-core A8-5545M accelerated processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB 5,400-rpm HDD) to $799 for the L50-AST2NX3 (2.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4700MQ) USD CPU, 12GB RAM, 1TB 5,400-rpm hard drive).
In summarySoftware and warranty Click to enlarge The 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite L55t-A5290 ($713 at Staples) has a touchscreen, loud audio, and a great keyboard and trackpad. The laptop’s design looks a bit dated, though, and it must use a third-generation Intel CPU. The $699 Acer Aspire M5 is a better deal, as it offers an aluminum lid and panel, Intel’s new Haswell architecture, and nearly twice the battery life of the Toshiba Satellite L55t.
The Toshiba Satellite P55T is also better than the L55t in terms of cost performance. This $679 15-inch laptop from Best Buy has a newer Haswell chip, 45 minutes more battery life, and a sleeker body. Overall, the Satellite L55t is a great, affordable touchscreen laptop, and there are plenty of better options out there.
