Here you are another Ultrabook from Toshiba, the S955. This new little Satellite will either be powered by an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 ULV CPU or an AMD A8 APU and will come with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 750GB of HDD with a lameass 15.6″ (1366×768) display, Hey Toshiba! Never heard of 1920×1080 or 1200? Other specs includes Windows 8 (Obviously), USB 3.0 and 2.0, HDMI, WiFi, DVD… Finally this new Satellite S955 is schedule to hit US shores early October.
Make no mistake about it, the Toshiba Satellite S955 might look like an Ultrabook at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is nowhere near Ultrabook standards. Still, despite that, this faux Ultrabook will be 30% thinner compared to the current batch of 15″ Toshiba S series notebooks. Underneath the hood, you have a choice of either an Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU or an AMD A8 APU, and if your budget permits, you are able to cram in up to 8GB of RAM on-board. In terms of storage, there is a maximum of 750GB of hard drive space. No idea on pricing details as at press time, btu it will surely be more affordable compared to the high end P Series.
Since this is meant for the budget-conscious, you can forget about the bells and whistles which accompany the Toshiba P Series, including Harman Karmon audio (now that’s a treat for your ears!) and Sleep-and-Music ports. Here is a little bit of consolation though – you will receive a Sleep-and-Charge port out of the trio of USB ports, where two of them will be the new generation USB 3.0 ports, while the remaining one caters for legacy USB 2.0 compatible devices. Other specifications that remain are HDMI output, an Ethernet jack, a DVD optical drive and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.
