Suggestions for a new laptop - perhaps Satellite Pro L550-17U

Didn't know where to ask it is here in the General category.

I'm looking for a laptop replacement with some specificity. I can get most of them, but the last of them is difficult. If the requirements are:

17 "screen with a horizontal resolution at least 1600.
Minimum of 4 GB of RAM (8 would be nice)
Running Windows 7 64-bit
Bluetooth

and finally, the duck:

Supports Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)

I thought that the Satellite Pro L550-17U would be OK, but looking at the Intel site, it does not seem that T6570 processor supports VT and it must be supported in the BIOS even when, and nothing in the spec says that it will be.

Any person able to provide any help please? I would stay with Toshiba, as I had this high reliability of them, but would consider other fact (sorry Toshiba) if it is the only option.

Hello Roger

In my opinion the most important question is: how much you are willing to pay for the new laptop?
Satellite L is OK, but don't forget that the L-series is, in general, not the best model of Satellite.

What objectives do you need new notebook?

  • Satellite Pro L550-17U fails to start, disk noise only

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L550-17U age of 3 years (Sept 2010). And it worked perfectly ok since I bought it.

    2 weeks ago I turned it on, my coffee table, where 90% of the time and nothing!

    Black screen, no keyboard lights (Caps/screen/NumLock). Encourage the disk light noise, it was green and light work fresh when it is plugged.

    Tried the external monitor still nothing.

    Followed by:

    The resettlement of ram
    Remove the hard drive
    Pressing F8 fairly quickly after starting cold
    Pressing F2 fairly quickly after starting cold
    Removed power and battery, battery replacement,

    When he turned (and rather black looking!). None of the lights on the keyboard respond (Scroll/Num/Caps Lock)

    All to nothing does not.

    Suspected motherboard breath.

    I'm a little disappointed. I only got a laptop and others fail on me like that, and it was a travelmate 10 year and liked!

    Any other ideas?

    Hello

    All that you have done is good and what are the typical steps that a laptop owner can try to check if this will help. Unfortunately there are not many options to test.
    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide the exact diagnosis, but I also think that there are some problems of serosa mainboard. Perhaps the BIOS? Who knows?

    It is not easy to do what to do now the decision. You can communicate with the service and ask for help. They can check it out and tell you what the problem is here, but if the motherboard must be exchanged may be quite expensive.
    It's really not easy to give you some good advice.

  • Using the Satellite Pro L550-17U in North America

    Hello

    Hope this is the right place. I go to the Canada in a few weeks and I'll bring my laptop with me. My question is how can I know if I need a voltage converter. I asked around a few places and keep getting different answers. I was told that I would need to buy a converter by one person while another said that most laptops have built in converters. Also the frequency in Hertz, there here is different as well. Does that affect anything?

    How can I check if I have a built-in converter?

    My laptop is a satellite Pro L550-17U.

    Thanks in advance.

    As far as I know you don t need this converter. What you probably need is the power adapter. Check on Amazon for your country. There you can order this adapter for the USA or the Canada trip.

  • Satellite Pro L550 - 17U PSLW9E - question of the HARD Win 7 64 bit disk recovery

    Hello

    Basically, when I got the laptop it had Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed.
    I created the backup disks, as asked it the first got scratched and gets stuck on the installation, I can install the 32-bit version (the CD it came with) and I tried to create a new 32-bit system recovery disk but it creates just a 32 bit recovery disc (which I already had the appropriate drive).

    Just to see if there is a way to restore the 64-bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?

    Satellite Pro L550-17U
    Part number: PSLW9E-01500MEN
    Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit authentic (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

    Hello

    You reinstalled the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk which contained the Win 7 32-bit operating system. The recovery of 32 bit Win7 has formatted the whole HARD disk and has deleted all partitions (recovery partition HARD drive containing too many Win 7 64 bit OS)! and replaced with Win 7 32 bit.
    This means that Win 7 64 bit is no longer available on the HARD disk.

    In my opinion, there is nothing to do you will need to order new Win 7 64 bit recovery disc.

  • Installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new Satellite Pro L550

    Hello

    I have a new satellite Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 that I can in the future?

    Thank you, Lisa

    Hello Lista

    In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
    Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
    Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

    Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
    To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

    Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

    Using the recovery disk you can not repair the version of the OS preinstalled. Using the recovery disk, you can reinstall entire OS and give your laptop to factory settings.

    All you can do is to order this disc. Please note that this is not for free.

  • You can buy and 2 Air iPad smart case and use this case for the new iPad 9.7 Pro?

    can you get an iPad 2 case Air and use it for the new iPad 9.7 Pro

    You should be able to. Both devices have the same accurate external characteristics. I think that the physical difference is that the Pro 2 has 4 speakers and 2 Air has two. (Pro has two on top, two on the bottom, 2 Air just has two on the bottom)

    Yes, as long as the case is not "blocking the speakers or you don't care (I use only headphones with my iPad so I don't care if the speakers have been blocked)"

  • Hello Hello. If I have Adobe audition, can I install first program in my laptop, and then in another (if I decide to change my cell phone for a newer laptop)?

    Hello Hello. If I have Adobe audition, can I install first program in my laptop, and then in another (if I decide to change my cell phone for a newer laptop)?

    You can install hearings on as much as you can, there are not limited to the facilities. However if you had bought the individual subscription, you can log in and activate the app as a full version on 2 devices only.

    If you buy a new device and want to activate on the same, all you have to do is simply disconnected from Adobe Creative Cloud application of either of the 2 previous devices, so that you can maintain the number of activations that 2.

    You can switch activation between devices, no problem.

    Hi, I bought a new laptop and I would like to install Photoshop 5.5 Extended for the new laptop computer. Something to consider before you begin to install?

    The reason is to avoid any inconvenience. What do I need to uninstall Photoshop beforehand?

    Thanks for the tips

    The mobile fact have separate start-up and data readers?  If so and the boot drive has limited space, you may want to consider relocation of things like bridges on the data disk cache.  I can't think another thing to consider from the start, however.
