Has a 6.4-pound weight, which is heavier than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the HP Compaq Mobile Thin Client 2533t, at around $785, has only a 3.1-pound weight.The fair battery performance of this laptop means it has to be recharged more often than other laptops in its class.Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared RAM are sometimes an acceptable trade-off for budget-minded users.

The 16” TruBrite display features a 16:9 ratio and has good color saturation and contrast thanks in part to the glossy polarizer layer. Compared to other notebooks this panel falls into the middle of the ground with average viewing angles. Vertical viewing angles are limited to a sweet spot that ranges about 15 degrees up or down before colors start to invert or wash out. Horizontal viewing angles are better, staying accurate at steep angles from both sides. Backlight levels are great for viewing in bright conditions, but aren’t bright enough for outdoor viewing.

Review By Computerhardwarespec

The Toshiba A355 feels very durable through the use of good plastics and the scratch-resistant Fusion finish. Chassis flex is minimal if you are holding the notebook from a side corner. Screen protection is pretty good with only mild screen distortions when pressing on the back of the display cover. The glossy Fusion finish holds up well against day to day abrasions … which might include slipping it in and out of your backpack as you take it to class.
