I recently purchased a Toshiba C855D-S5104 series AMD Dual Core 4GB 500GB 15.6″ “gaming laptop” and realized that even though it did indeed hold many great gaming pieces, it was NOT for gaming. The laptop holds
a horrible cpu that has a processor speed of 1.3 gHz (which sellers do not mention. This means that it can not run any sort of game and has a lot of trouble running high quality videos as well.Therefore, if your looking for a gaming laptop DO NOT buy this one.
However, their were a few upsides to the laptop, for one it was at a low price of only 310$ including the shipping. Secondly,
Thanks for sharing. What games exactly did you try to run on this laptop ?

Nothing high-end. I played Eudemons Online, a MMORPG. It worked okay at best for that game. I primarily played flash and Shockwave based games and webaites… Big Fish, Neopets, etc. Please keep in mind that this has been many years ago.
It is your fault for not doing your research beforehand.That being said,Toshiba make horrible low end laptops,their cooling is inadequate,for example small heatsink for CPU,and no PCH heatsink at all which is unacceptable. AMD APUs in laptops are as bad as Intel’s IGP.Cheap price?You could have gotton a laptop with pentium or celeron(Ivy Bridge or Haswell,not Bay trail which is horrible) instead with an SSD,even at 1-2 GHz they will perform much better at basic work because of the IPC advantages and faster flash compared to rotating disks.
AMD Dual-Core E-300 Processor. Hmm.. I think it is the processor for middle and lower class, the possibility can only play games with low graphics
Its obiovious that the person that purchased this model wasnt very happy with ehat it offered iwould not recomend this labtop to any of my friends coworkers or colieges

An 8 out of 10 star rating translates to you as “not very happy?” Did you even really read this review?
The author said that this laptop would NOT meet the needs of everyone, particularly gamers. The author explicitly stated that this computer was geared perfectly toward younger students who need to surf the web for research purposes, email, and word processing.
