Hi!
I have the L650-11F, Intel i5, and it’s a cool machine.
Very sillent, and if using the Toshiba Eco Utility, it only drains 21watts from battery
Performance and image quality are quite good.
Quality and robust materials.
My only remark: the desktop usefull area could benefit if the resolution were higher: 1366×768 is short (in height, mostly) for the working area im used to. Still, is the resolution for the masses…
@Bint
I’m quite happy to hear someone being pleased by the product.
I am myself planning on buying a Toshiba laptop in the 400-800 USD range.
I think this might be it or a Satellite L650-114 which is currently available in online stores near me.
I have the Toshiba L650 11F and it is a great laptop. Very silent and also light. It has good Intel i5 Processor and the battery lasts for almost 3 hrs. The screen is superb. Rich in details and very good at watching DVDs. It can also connect to wireless internet connection even at very low signal reception. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics accelerator also does the job well at high-end games. The only thing I don’t like about it is the poor quality built-in webcam. Overall, this laptop is a great buy!
Yesterday was my birthday and I was given the Toshiba L650. While I was excited at the thought of getting a new laptop.. I had wanted to make the pick/purchase myself when the time came. So, I was hesitant over my excitement… I did not want to look a gifthorse in the mouth but laptops are personal and I assume many people, not just me.. feel it is a personal buy lol.
I am highly impressed and thankful for the choice they made. I love it.
It suits my basic needs(it is used for personal use.. not corporate) and I love the weight, feel and look of it.
I love the keypad .. I love a stand alone keypad because of my fast ten-key and having it at the top annoyed me.
Two thumbs up !
Buying the L650-11F in a couple of days…. Done a lot of research into mobile graphic cards, processors and the L650 in general, and it looks AWESOME. Definitely the best buy in the 700 Euro price range when it comes to gaming laptops. Noticeably better gaming laptops show up only in the +1000 Euro price range, which I am not prepared to pay for.
I am freaking EXCITED!
And thanks to Bint and Cham for your reassuring comments.
I have Toshiba L650-11F ,, it’s a great laptop but its speaker is low a little bit except this its a awesome one
I have Toshiba L650 which is really great but i have a little problem does the functional key control the volume up and down?
I have the same issue.I am also looking for functional key control for volume up and down. any advice
@BoggyB
Glad you made the right choice! I also would like to rectify my comments about the video quality of the webcam. When I peeled the adhesive plastic on the webcam, it made a significant change on the video quality. This laptop even has the best built-in webcam!
BoggyB, enjoy your new laptop!
@bilal
Go to Microsoft website, and download the volume control gadget. This will solve your issues with the volume control.
i’m not pleased with my l650-S5107 cause it frooze five times within the day i received it. Now i have to send it back for repairs,isn’t that great
I have the same laptop, but sorry to say when i press my fn(function key) and my f8-key, the wireless option only allows my bluetooth to be switched on and off, not my wireless as well. Can anyone help me with this problem?! I installed a new bios version 1.8, which i got from the toshiba site. This shpuldn’t have caused the problem maybe?
Please any help.
My sister and I reetly got our own laptops, both the same model, Satellite L650
The laptop is awesome except for a couple things,
1-The webcam quality isnt so gr8 or maybe its the problem mentioned in number 2
2-My sister has the exact same things downloaded as i do but my laptop is always losing the internet signal and hers NEVER does
FN+3 makes the volume go down
FN+4 makes the volume go up.
The only thing I do no like about this laptop is the quality of the webcam.
I’m buying this tommorow because my old computer screens is just gone. If i had the money i would certainly buy another computer, but i must say for <$1000 AUS this is an amazing laptop. Intel i5 2.53ghz turbo boost to 2.8 and ATi Radeon HD 5650, 4g ram, 1g dedicated graphics ram, sleek, sexy design. If i was to buy this from like Sony, i'd easily pay over 1.5k. This is a great buy, researched HEAPS, and this is the bomb yo, but i must say no computer comes even close to macbook pros. Well if your looking for a cheap but great computer for gaming, movie etc.. then this is it. Don't lose your chance!!!
I dropped my HP DV 6 from the balcony, and I had to buy a new Laptop immediately without doing any research, because I work from home and needed the machine immediately.
I hopped into Harvey Norman, looked at the prices and got my i5 with 4gb ram for 998$ AUD.
Happy top see this laptop has great reviews.
