The Satellite A665 comes built with an Intel Core i5-460M processor at 2.53 GHz with Turbo Boost technology, 4GB of RAM and 500GB of hard drive space. This multimedia notebook will be able to multitask and perform quite decently based on our tests.

The 16-inch 720p (1366x768) display with LED backlighting got a "very good" on our review. We also mentioned that the contrast on the screen is sharp and clear.
We also had some good things to say about the built-in speakers that are located above the keyboard. We said that the audio is "surprisingly rich" and that the notebook is able to provide an "excellent" range of high, mid, and low tones.
The 6-cell 48Wh battery was tested by us and delivered four hours and twelve minutes of mobile power.
