Let's read some comments of some users shared about their machine

"I am not fan of Windows 8 yet. This Toshiba Satellite C55-A5245 15.6 inch laptop is a deal at the price. Came with 4GB Ram. Opened the cover to look at the ram storage slots. There are 2 slots and only one is used with a single 4 GB Memory card. This laptop can expand up to 16 GB Ram.. Came loaded with Norton--I deleted it immediately and loaded Windows Essential Security which is fine and it is free. The satin black in trax horizon finish on this laptop is beautiful and somewhat like the Dell Matte finish that I have seen. So far, I am very pleased with this laptop."

"I bought this laptop so that I could do four main things: (1) Draft and edit various MS Office documents; (2) save my iTunes library; (3) store my photos; and (4) pay all my bills. For the price, this laptop does a great job at all 4 things. This is also one of a dwindling supply of laptops that still run Windows 7, which I need for my work and vastly prefer to Windows 8. It is really light and has a nice amount of real estate to set my checkbook on when I'm doing bill-pay online. (This obviously adds some bulk, but since I use this in my home and don't travel it's fine)."

"I'd love to have a MacBook, but this computer serves all my needs at more than half the price."
