Beside its 17.3 inch 1600x900 TFT display and blue-ray drive, Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7226 is generally one perfect example of how even a great laptop manufacturer like Toshiba could make a very disappointing product.This L775D-S7226 is advertised as having dedicated M series Radeon GPU. Actually it is only using lowly G-series integrated graphics.
Actually, it is a beautiful laptop indeed. It’s brushed dark blue finish is really nice and thermally cold to the touch. Well, I love the feel of cold aluminum, but don’t know about you. Unfortunately, the finish attract lots of fingerprints and dust. You’ll definitely face problems with them unless you are using this laptop in a dust-free environment.
Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7226 is using a quad-core processor. But seems like this laptop couldn’t manage to work as fast as it is advertised. There are bloatware softwares comes pre-installed. Maybe you should do a clean OS install to make it free from them.
The worst thing about Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7226 that make it not worth buying is the GPU performance. Do some search on Google, and you’ll find that actually there is no such 6500M model available today. (Only 6530, 6550, & 6570). The GPU is just the basic integrated 6520G that all A6 3400s have. There is no dedicated 6500M series GPU in the notebook despite advertised, just the lowly integrated 6520G that can barely come close to running 3 year old games at ‘almost’ 30fps at lowest global and application settings. If you're a gamer, I assume that only light MMOs will play well.
