Toshiba L650D weight
Toshiba Satelltie L650D with standard 6 cell Li-ion battery weighs 2.526kg; and with a standard power adapter, its travel weight is 2.953kg. As a 15-inch models, the portable design is not the most important starting point. Compared with the size of models, Toshiba Satellite L650D in portable performance is almost the same.
• Details improved, and more comfortable
Toshiba Satellite L650D keyboard design is still the same. Compared to previous generation products, the keyboard layout has also some change. The palmrest and touchpad space have been improved, allowing users to use it more comfortably in daily use. Despite the change in keyboard layout, the keyboard still feels comfortable.

Toshiba Satellite L650D is rich in interfaces, which can meet the current needs of the user’s daily use such as VGA, HDMI high-definition interface, and eSATA interface. Satellite L650D based on AMD VISION platform provides users with more choice and lower the price further to fully meet the market demand.
Toshiba Satellite L650D is equipped with AMD Athlon II P320 dual-core processor, clocked at 2.1GHz, with AMD M785 chipset; 2GB DDR3-1066 memory; 320GB Toshiba 5,400 rpm SATA hard drive; and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512MB graphics card; and pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Basic 32-bit operating system.
Toshiba Satellite L650D CPUID Detail
First, we use PCMark Vantage to test the performance of the Toshiba Satellite L650D. In the 1024 × 768 resolution, the final result of Toshiba Satellite L650D is 3431, the sub-item scores, the highest Music Score is 4124 points, the lowest 2GB DDR3-1066 memory score is 2301 points, while Satellite L650D’s entry-level ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 was 2724 points.

Toshiba Satellite L650D CINEBENCH R10 test result
We use CINEBENCH R10 to test AMD Athlon II P320 dual-core processor. The single-core processor is 1833 points, multi-core processor is 3538 points. From the above two tests, we can know that this AMD dual-core processor performance comes as the entry-level performance that can meet the user’s general application requirements.
Toshiba Satellite L650D 3DMark Vantage Test Result
Through 3DMark Vantage to test its graphical capabilities, the total score of Toshiba L650D is E4854, in which GPU score is 5691 points, CPU score was 3368 points. (Note: Entry test resolution of 1024 × 768).
Note: 3DMark Vantage test total is divided into four grades, namely (Entry, E), (Performance, P), (High, H), (Extreme, X).
Through our practical test, Toshiba Satellite L650D internal core temperature of CPU is 46-63 ℃, while the graphics processor is 51-68 ℃. The keyboard surface highest temperature is on the left which is close to the heat vent, the maximum temperature reached 42.0 ℃. The surface around palmrest heat dissipation is better. The highest temperature at the bottom is also on the left nearing the heat vent, reaching 43.5 ℃.

Through the above test, you can see Toshiba Satellite L650D temperature control and cooling performance is no bad, and 15 inches laptop has some advantages in internal temperature control compared to 14, 13-inch laptops.
Satellite L650D BatteryMark test result: 2 hours 08 minutes
Toshiba L650D features a 4400 mA, 10.8V and 48Wh lithium battery. We use the BatteryMark to test its battery life. First, we adjusted the Windows 7power management system to power saving mode, open wireless network, and adjust the screen brightness to 40%. Finally we get the test results for the 2 hours and 08 minutes.
Summary
Toshiba Satellite L650D overall design has no much difference with 14-inch L600, and there is some detail differences compared with L500 series. At the same time, as the 15.6 inches laptop, it is equipped with easy to use numeric keypad. The Satellite L650D is equipped with AMD Athlon II P320 dual-core processor that fully meets the needs of the user’s daily use. all in all, Toshiba Satellite L650D is a laptop with high value.
