If you’re planning to replace your laptop with a new one in the near future, maybe you should stop and take a look at the Toshiba Satellite C55-A5104.
The lappy has a 15.6-inch LED-backlit display with a decent resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and draws power from a 2.39GHz Intel Celeron N2820 (from the Bay Trail-M family) processor (integrated Intel HD Graphics) combined with 4GB of RAM.
You also get a 500GB hard drive, HD webcam, a multi-card reader and a DVD Super Multi Drive, which might seem outdated to some, but might prove useful to have around. The laptop has Windows 8.1 pre-installed, so the notebook can be used for both work and play.
The Toshiba Satellite C550A5104 packs a host of decent specs capable of delivering the performance needed to go through most everyday tasks. And you can grab one for just $279.99 / €208 at BestBuy.
