Hello Tom's Hardware community.
My sister asked me to look for a laptop for her under 550$. She doesn't play games on laptops. So nothing powerful would be required. Youtube, Skype, Word, watching streams or movies are things she uses her laptop for. Now I found a relatively good one at office Depot which is the Toshiba Satelite L55 - B5267 with a 15.6" Screen, 6 GB memory and 750 GB hardrive and an Intel Core i3-4025U processor. So the specs are enough but what bothers me is that it has only one USB 2.0 port but two UBS 3.0 ports. Are 3.0 USB ports also compatible with USB 2.0 devices or does that not work? That's the only thing that would bother her I think other than that it seems like a good deal. Maybe you guys have better deals or could tell me more about the USB 2.0 - 3.0 port issue.
And also here is the link for the laptop on Office Max.
Also a review I found.
