There are many companies that are producing good value notebooks, and here are some of the best in the world: Hewlett Packard, Acer, Asus, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Lenovo, Fujitsu, MSI and Apple. Toshiba is a large multinational Japanese company and also the fifth producer of personal computers in the world.




It has the headquarters in Tokyo, Japan and many other subsidiaries and stores all over the world. The official site of the company is Toshiba.com, and it is available in many languages, showing the specific products for each country. It offers many kinds of electronic devices and it produces them since 1985.

Toshiba also makes some of the best value notebooks, and its models are divided into 6 families: Satellite, Tecra, Satellite Pro, Qosmio, Portege and also the netbooks. There are many places where you can find the Toshiba notebooks, including at the Best Buy stores and on the site of this company.  Right now there are 34 different models of Toshiba laptops on the site of Best Buy, and for today we’ll discuss about one of them, the brand new Toshiba – Satellite Laptop / Intel ® Celeron ® Processor  – Black, Model: C 655-S 5049 | SKU: 9988402. This one has an incredibly small price of just 299 dollars, and this is definitely a price for a netbook. But this is not a netbook, and it is actually a regular laptop, with a 15.6 ” TFT LCD high definition widescreen display with TruBrite technology and a 1366 x 768 resolution. Don’t expect for the rest of the features to be really powerful, but for this price they are quite good.

They are even better than the ones found on a netbook that has the same price, so this can be a really good choice for a cheap laptop with a big display screen (in case you don’t like the small screens found on netbooks). Its processor is an   Intel ® Celeron ® processor 900 that features an 800 MHz frontside bus, 1 MB L 2 cache and 2.2 GHz processor speed while its RAM memory is  2 GB DDR 3 memory. Compared to a netbook that doesn’t have an optical drive, this one has a Multiformat DVD ± RW/ CD-RW drive with double layer support, that can record up to 8.5 GB of data on a single DVD. Its hard drive is quite spacious, so that you can store all sorts of files you want. It has a capacity of 250 GB and a speed of 5400 rpm.

Its video card is just a regular Intel ® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M with 128 – 829 MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory and it also comes with a multiformat media card reader (that supports Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, miniSD and MultiMediaCard formats). It also has 2 high speed USB ports and both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet. It weighs 5.5 lbs and measures 1.5 inch thin, so it is quite a portable one. It comes with a simple and elegant black design, and also with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system. But this is not all, because it also comes with some installed programs such as Adobe Acrobat Reader and Microsoft Works 9, so you can use it right after you buy it. And finally it is also Energy Star Qualified so it uses less energy and meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.

The customers who bought this laptop were really pleased of it, and it has an overall customer rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 (5 for value for price, 4.4 for display, 4.4 for performance and 4.2 for convenience). The reviews about this laptop are really good too and many people are considering it the best value notebook on the market, that comes at such a small price. It has the same price as a netbook, but better features and a bigger display screen, so this model will definitely have a big success.
