A good buy for someone looking for a decent-spec'd Windows machine with 5th gen Intel processor, dedicated graphics, great audio, and even an optical drive for your old-skool media. Very capable all-rounder, including gaming (within appropriately-tweaked settings). Might want to swap out the spinning metal for one of the bargain SSDs which have been appearing on OZB of late.

$1599.00 - RRP per http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/p50…
$1499.00 - Myer http://myer.com.au/shop/mobile/mystore/156in-notebook-l50-c0…
$1294.70 - Current special at VideoPro https://www.videopro.com.au/p-8608-toshiba-satellite-psptsa0…

Main specs:
* CPU - 5th Gen Intel Core i7-5500U
* RAM - 8GB DDR3 (expandable up to 16GB)
* Video - NVIDIA GeForce 930M - with 4K output via HDMI
* HDD - 1TB (5400 rpm) SATA
* Display - 15.6" FHD LED Backlit + Intel WiDi
* OS - Windows 8.1 (64bit)

  Any computer afficianados know if this is a decent price for these specs? I know Toshiba is a reputable laptop brand but is this enough to edit HD videos on?

    Yes Franky - the OP does, which explains why it is in the specs above following the dot point "Display" :-p

  I got a new dell at work this week e5550 latitude $1100 fhd screen 8gb i5 5300u with 4 years pro support and no optical drive or any chance of adding one its too thin, i thought Its an end of an era.

    PVA on 08/08/2015 - 21:28

    I am guessing thats a refurbished one, seeing new at dell is double that price.

  Not bad at all. Not as good as the first generation p50t though. Mine was i7-4700mq, gt745m,ans touch screen. The only thing better about this refreshed p50 is the integrated Intel 5500 gfx but even then it still can't stand up to a dedicated gfx.

  Worth noting that this i7 is not quad core. It's dual core.

    4700mq is nearly 2X faster than 5500U

      Exactly.

  Just found this on the Good Guys site.. still available at this price until the 17th it seems… postage to WA was only $5… Haven't looked at laptops for ages to know if it is good deal or not…
