Manufacturer's Description

The Toshiba Satellite L650 features an elegant all-new black glossy finish featuring a patterned inlay. With its subtle yet elegant design the Satellite L650 looks the part at home, school, university, in the office, and out and about. Packed full with smart design and technology such as Toshiba's multi-touch touchpad, facial recognition software, media controller, and LifeSpace suite, the Satellite L650 is an ideal laptop for work and play.

Multi-touch Functionality

The Satellite L650's touchpad features multi-touch gesture support, providing an innovative alternative to conventional scrolling and buttons. The touchpad features an advanced, touch-sensitive interface solution that senses the position of a finger or fingers on its surface and recognises pinching, swiping, and rotating motions performed by simply moving your fingers.

The multi-touch touchpad recognises four different finger gestures. Pinch Gesture--two-finger pinch delivers zooming functionality in many Windows applications. The two-finger pinch zoom can be used to zoom in or out of photos, maps, or documents. Scrolling--two-finger and two-finger reverse scrolling delivers functionality in Windows applications by using two separate fingers in a horizontal or vertical motion anywhere on the touchpad, with the scrolling rate controlled by your finger speed. Momentum Motion--delivers smooth, fast, trackball-like cursor motion. A quick flick of one finger across the touchpad surface can move the cursor across the entire screen and is ideal for use with computer gaming applications. Rotation--rotate photos and other items in 90-degree increments by placing two separated fingers on the touchpad and moving them around in a continuous clockwise or counter-clockwise circular motion.

Connectivity at your Fingertips

The Satellite L650 has an integrated HDMI port for added convenience and enhanced usability. Now you can connect your laptop to an external device and stream high definition content. When using HDMI, audio and visual content are streamed through a single cable, removing the need for multiple connections. Now you only need one cable, making connecting your laptop easier and tidier. Also included are two USB 2.0 ports and a USB 2.0/eSATA port to connect your laptop to external devices and high-speed file transfers to external hard drives. The USB/eSATA port can be used as a normal USB or eSATA port with faster data transfer speeds while saving computer processor resources.
