Toshiba Satellite R15-S822 Review

by Carla Thornton

- The Toshiba Satellite R15-S822 converts from laptop to tablet PC with a smooth swivel of its 14.1-inch screen. A reversible lid latch locks it against the keyboard in a jiffy. The $1599 R15-S822 worked well for me in either incarnation, although personally, 6.1 pounds (not including power adapter) of tablet is more than I would want to lug around in the crook of my arm all day if I had to do most of my writing on my feet. But for occasional tablet use or in scenarios where you would use it on your lap or another surface, this convertible is a fine choice, especially in the field.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good System

Weaknesses: Too Expensive

Overall Evaluation: I think that the tablet is way too expensive and should be at least 450$ or less. It is a very good working computer and should be that price. It would sell more.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy to use, bright, clear screen, long battery life

Weaknesses: a bit heavier than i had expected, and the laptop itself is not as attractive as others

Overall Evaluation: I got this laptop about 1 month ago for my birthday. Since then, it's worked very well for me, although i do have a complaint about the screen. About 2 weeks after i got it, tiny dots that looked like dust appeared behind the screen, and i have no idea what to do about them. There is also a larger more noticeable dot near the bottom of the screen... I guess i just need to take it back to comp usa and let them fix it... Any way, its very easy to use the laptop and then convert it to tablet mode. The Pen writes smoothly and where you store it on the side is very accessable. On other tablets, the pen is stuck on the side of the screen :/ The sound quality is average, it sounds better when you use headphones. There are also very helpful function keys at the top that allow you to change the brightness of the screen or turn the mousepad off and on. Very handy for when you are writing an email or a letter. The battery life is great, giving about 5 hours if you don't run any major programs. All in all, I love my laptop and would recommend this to anyone wishing to purchase their own Tablet PC
