Review Verdict: The Toshiba Satellite A305-S6845 has the potential to win the public over with its new "Fusion" design, good performance scores, and a sweet price.

Review: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6864 Laptop
Comments:
Budget minders will like this sleek laptop with good built-in speakers. But make sure that an outlet is close by.
Review Verdict: With its 2.26-GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 processor and 4GB of RAM, the A305-S6864 achieved a WorldBench 6 score of 90--very reasonable for an all-purpose laptop. The machine that scored closest to the A305-S6864 is Sony's VAIO VGN-SZ791N; the only difference is

If you need a laptop that can hold its own in your subterranean gaming dungeon, but that could also mingle in a black-and-white ball, your device has landed. The Toshiba A305 combines strong gaming performance with refined good looks - but it will take so
If you need a laptop that can hold its own in your subterranean gaming dungeon, but that could also mingle in a black-and-white ball, your device has landed. The Toshiba A305 combines strong gaming performance with refined good looks - but it will take so
QuickTake:
Pros: Breathtaking good looks. Sweet specs delight (casual) gamers without causing poverty.
Cons: No Blu-ray to go with the HDMI. Mirrored surface is positively smudgo-philic, while the screen causes unwanted self-examination. The fingerprint reader separates the mouse keys and fails to justify its existence.

Review Verdict: If pocketbook concerns are paramount, the A305-S6864 is a great choice, especially for audiophiles. But it isn't the laptop for long work stints away from an outlet, and Blu-ray movie fans won't be happy with it
