The Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320 looks like a sweet deal. For less than a grand you get a fast Intel quad-core processor, lots of RAM, a large hard drive, a Blu-ray player and HDMI out, and a big 17-inch screen. It also has a handful of little extras making it feel like you're getting even more for your money. If you feel like there's a "but" coming, that's because there is. There are a few holes in the P775-S7320 that make it more of an also-ran than a winner. It's not that it's a bad laptop--there are things about it that are quite good for the money--just that its best selling points aren't as impressive once you take a closer look at the whole package. The laptop is big, which really shouldn't be a surprise. What is unusual is how light it is given its size. Now, this could be seen as either good or bad, as it makes it nicer for travel, but also makes it feel cheap and somewhat fragile. The chassis is all plastic and the lid, keyboard deck, and palm rest all have a lot of flex to them. Add in the giant silver Toshiba logo on top, the faux metal/wood-grain design with plastic chrome accents, and abundant lights, labels, and branding, and the whole package ends up being kind of tacky.
With its Blu-ray optical drive and Core i7 CPU, the Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320 ($849.99 at Best Buy) is well equipped to handle most of your entertainment and home productivity needs. It also offers the latest in wireless and USB 3.0 connectivity, but its lack of a 1080p screen and mediocre graphics capabilities prevent it from being a killer multimedia laptop. The P775-S7320 has the same Fusion X2 Platinum finish as its predecessor, the Toshiba Satellite P775-S7215. It has a textured lid and wrist rest that are relatively smudge resistant and sports a bold, shiny silver Toshiba logo in the center of the lid. At 6.6 pounds it's lighter than most 17-inch laptops, including the 7.15-pound Dell Inspiron 17R-3530DBK and 7-pound HP Pavilion dv7-6143cl ($999.99 list, 4 stars). Under the lid sits a 17.3-inch widescreen display with a webcam embedded in the upper bezel. The camera works with the pre-installed Toshiba Face Recognition utility to add an extra layer of security. The display has a reflective glossy coating, but delivers a very bright picture with good color reproduction. Unfortunately, its 1600-by-900 resolution prevents it from displaying HD content in 1080p (full HD), but it does a good job with 720p video.
