If a mainstream laptop were uglier than a monkey's armpit, it would fail in today's market no matter how hard the manufactures drove down the price or how well it did on performance tests. With the public's increased interest in attractive laptop designs
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

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.

Comments:
Budget minders will like this sleek laptop with good built-in speakers. But make sure that an outlet is close by.
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
