The Satellite Pro R850 is a Windows 7 Professional notebook aimed at business users, and decked out in functional black with a grooved texture running across the lid. That lid itself is thin and feels a little plasticky, but the overall build quality is sturdy, particularly the chunky chrome hinges that open and close the display.

The Satellite R850-127 from Toshiba is a laptop with minor flaws, but all in all it is quite feasible. It can score with its well manufactured and plain case, and provides the user with input devices from the upper midfield. The notebook is ahead of a few opponents in terms of interface diversity because eSATA and USB 3.0 have been installed in addition to VGA and HDMI. Although the display is matt and bright, and thus suitable for outdoor use, it can't be recommended to gamers or multimedia fans due to its poor contrast and color rates.
