Toshiba Satellite Pro L870-16P Pro Reviews

The Toshiba Satellite Pro L870-16P is a perfect example of how worthwhile it is to implement up-to-date technology in notebooks: The automatic switching between graphics chips depending on requirements is probably one of the most sensible innovations in recent years, and can even help clunky 17.3-inch notebooks with potent graphics cards to stay on their feet for a protracted length of time. Toshiba have missed their chance to implement this feature on this occasion, and therefore have to make concessions when it comes to the power consumption and battery life. When it comes to 17.3-inch notebooks the battery life isn't likely to be the decisive factor though, particularly since the reviewed device is able to impress with its matte display, good application and gaming performance, low noise and heat emissions, and the two USB 3.0 ports. The design definitely warrants a closer look, and certainly falls into the matter of taste category. A somewhat better manufacturing quality, especially in terms of the loose keyboard, could undoubtedly have been provided by Toshiba. For those that don't place too much importance on the battery life, and like the design combined with a matte display, the Toshiba Satellite Pro L870-16P will make a good device for the office which is able to complete any tasks reliably and without problems.
