Toshiba Satellite L55-A5278 Specs

Toshiba Satellite L55-A5278 features a 15.6-inch TruBrite LED Backlit display, 4 GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, and 500 GB 5400 rpm HDD. In terms of performance, it relies on Intel Core i3-3337U dual-core processor with Turbo Boost technology up to 2.70 GHz. The discrete-class graphics card used is NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M with 2 GB GDDR3 supporting Optimus technology. That's quite powerful for a notebook in its class. The L series notebook is equipped with standard stereo speakers enhanced by DTS Studio Sound.


On the left side, there are a DVD-SuperMulti drive, an RJ45 port, and a USB 2.0 port. Move to the other side, you'll find an RGB port, two USB 3.0 ports, a microphone-in port, a headphone-out port, an HDMI port, and an RJ45 port. Inside the notebook, Toshiba includes a 4-cell Lithium-ion 43Wh. Unfortunately, it's not user-replaceable. Other things on Satellite L55-A5278 are Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN, HD webcam, security lock slot, and card reader slot.
