Toshiba satellite pro c660d-1d9 windows 7 laptop review

Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. Dual-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. The CPU is clocked at 2. The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages 0.

T : Entry level Core 2 Duo based on the Penryn core. The characteristic of this processor is the speed, which is hardly slower than an equivalent Pentium M. However it can change the speed not dynamically like the Pentium M and therefore needs without load more current. It is also available as Low Voltage Version with very small current consumption. Due to the missing Speedstep, the CPU may lead to a lower battery runtime.

There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse. Toshiba offers a range of entry level notebooks with the C series. New customers are to be wooed with a wide functionality, and above all with a low price. In a market where many vendors claim "all-day" batteries, it's interesting to see a notebook undersell itself so powerfully. In our battery tests, where all power-saving measures were disabled, screen brightness was pumped up to full and a looping full-screen video was played to battery exhaustion point, the C acquitted itself quite well with a runtime of three hours and 48 minutes.

The point of our test is to give a lowest expectation score, so we'd say that the five-hour figure should be totally achievable. It's not quite a full-day battery kind of machine, but it's quite solid. The C offers what its price suggests. It's not a world beater in processing terms and the battery won't quite last a whole day.

But if you need a solid and not all that visually exciting machine, it's got you covered. Alex Kidman. The Good Inexpensive. Solid performance. Full number pad. E : Dual Core low power processor with an integrated graphics cards. The processor is on a level with Celeron SU 1. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

It's also being the lightest of the group at only 2. Battery life is also better than most, making it a better travel companion for those who want a full-size device.
