Basically, despite its processing power, the integrated graphics are holding this laptop back. Video and photo editing beyond basics is not enjoyable and anything other than casual gaming is pretty much out of the question. What trips up this laptop is graphics processing. It can aptly handle running multiple programs at once such as a Web browser, IM and e-mail clients, and a word processor all while playing music in the background. With this configuration basic home office tasks aren't a problem. And the integrated graphics don't help speed things up, either. However, while its 750GB hard drive offers lots of storage, it spins at 5,400rpm, which drags down performance some.
The highlight for the P775-S7320 I tested is the quad-core Intel processor. The Satellite P770/P775 is available in a number of component configurations or you can build your own on Toshiba's Web site. You also get a USB port that can charge a device while the computer sleeps or is off, and the headphone jack lets you listen to audio from an external source like an MP3 player through the laptop's speakers even if it's powered down. Networking support is bolstered by 4G WiMax for wireless mobile broadband should you choose to activate it. There's enough there to make hooking up to external drives and displays easy including Intel Wi-Di support for wirelessly sending content to an HDTV with an additional adapter. One of the few highlights for this system is its collection of connections. Stereo speakers with subwoofer, headphone/microphone jacksĢ USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.0, SD card reader, eSATAĮthernet, 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Di capable, Intel 4G WiMax capable Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks Plus, they let out an annoyingly loud beep with every press.Īverage for category I would lower the volume and seconds later the audio would be loud again. One thing I did notice on my review system, though, was that the volume control keys above the keyboard didn't seem to work properly.

The setting is somewhat buried under a Speaker Properties menu, but it's worth digging it out as it made music and movie audio more full and round instead of flat and tinny. The P775 has Harman Kardon stereo speakers that were fairly unimpressive until I turned on the Dolby Advanced Audio processing. It's a good screen if you're just looking for extra workspace, though, with good color, brightness, and contrast and text is reasonably sharp. That's not entirely unexpected at this price, but it hurts its appeal as a multimedia system and just a little weird because of the Blu-ray player/DVD burner optical drive.

The 17.3-inch LED-backlit display has a resolution of 1,600x900 pixels that's good enough to support 720p HD playback, but not full HD. The touchpad is a little small for a 17-inch laptop, but not uncomfortable and there is support for multitouch gestures like two-finger scrolling and pinch zoom. There's also one for toggling on and off the backlight for these keys as well as a Satellite logo and a thin strip of light at the top of the touch pad.
The keyboard isn't backlit, but above it is a row of lighted shortcut keys for play/pause, volume, mute, Toshiba's Eco Utility energy-saving mode (this can be programmed to do something else if you want), and wireless on/off. The island-style keyboard and number pad are large and comfortable, save for the oddly small space bar.

Of course, some of this is personal preference, so if this stuff doesn't bother you than feel free to ignore me. 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.
The chassis is all plastic and the lid, keyboard deck, and palm rest all have a lot of flex to them. 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. What is unusual is how light it is given its size.
The laptop is big, which really shouldn't be a surprise.
