About this deal

The Dynabook Satellite Pro C50D is an inexpensive office laptop with a 15.6-inch display. The CPU performance could be increased by switching to the AMD processor, but it is basically still the familiar office notebook that we already tested two years ago.

Build quality is only average. One of my perennial issues with Dynabook's laptops is the amount of flex in the lid. I was unhappy with this with both the Portégé A30-E and Portégé X30-F at the end of last year, for example. Dynabook has inherited this issue from Toshiba, and it really could do with fixing. In the meantime, I suggest you invest in a protective sleeve.

The bottom cover is secured with normal cross screws and the maintenance options are overall decent, because there are also two regular SODIMM slots next to the M.2-2280 SSD, which makes it very easy to upgrade the working memory. However, the WLAN module cannot be replaced. Domingo, Joel Santo (June 3, 2013). "Toshiba Updates Satellite, Qosmio Laptops, Unveils New AIO Desktop". PC Magazine. Ziff-Davis.

The PCIe-SSD, which comes from Samsung and offers a storage capacity of 256 GB (184 GB are available to the user after the first start-up), has a significant share in this. The PM991a (PCIe-3.0-x4) is a very fast drive and reaches up to 3.1 GB/s, but the performance drops a bit after a short time. However, this does not matter in everyday use.The vertical space between the number pad and keyboard is slightly wider than the norm, and I'd have liked it to be wider still. The Enter key, while approaching double width, is only single height, and I found it easy to hit the '4' key instead. I've had similar issues with all keypads on the right side, and doubtless this is just an acclimatisation issue. Still, it's tedious while it lasts. The Satellite line was introduced in 1992 with the T1800 and T1850 models, the T1800C and T1850C variants of which were one of the first notebooks with passive-matrix color LCDs. [4] Succeeding entries in the line followed this naming scheme, such as the Satellite T1900, T2110CS and T2130CS. [5] [6] Beginning with the barebones 100CS and 100CT in February 1996, Toshiba began using only numbers to name their Satellites, [7] a convention which continued until 2003 with the introduction of the Satellite A series. Intel Core i5-10210U, Windows 10 Pro (National Academic License), 15.6-inch 1,920 x 1,080 non touch screen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD The upside of this laptop's size is that there's room for a number pad to the right of the keyboard. Unlike that on the Asus ZenBook Flip 15 UX563FD that I looked at recently, which also has a 15.6-inch screen, the number pad has full-size keys. This has been achieved by pushing the whole keyboard section further out towards the short edges of the chassis than is the case on the ZenBook.

The keyboard isn't the quietest, and heavier-handed typists will notice a bit of flex. On the plus side, you get a separate numeric keypad on the right-hand side.

The surface temperatures remain uncritical even under load, so you don't have to worry here. The two stereo speakers can get relatively loud, but the overall sound quality is very weak and we definitely recommend headphones or external speakers if you want to listen to some music or show video clips during presentations, for example.
