Conclusion: Toshiba Satellite C55-B5240X as part of the C55 series offers solid performance in a nice looking package at a very affordable price. End of July 2015 release Windows 10 comes with the familiar easy to use features of Windows 7 and new stuff like the latest cool web browser Microsoft Edge and Cortona (personal assistant) and more to get things done easier and the computer boots up faster with Win 10. It is easy on both the eyes (has an attractive modern design) and your wallet. Toshiba makes good quality computers and it certainly is one of the best known electronics and computers brands in the world. Quarter 4 of 2014 release Intel Celeron N2840 processor has the Passmark benchmark score of 1072 at the time of this review, which indicates it is a low mid range CPU that is more than adequate for basic daily tasks (not a powerhouse but definitely enough). We think that the standard 4GB RAM memory and 500GB regular HDD are both good amounts for efficient multitasking and as large enough storage space for all your files. This is a good computer for the price level and offers enough power to handle your daily work and entertainment and multitasking.
