    • Pros: Terrific design. Intel's latest technology. HDMI-out. 3GB RAM. Sleep-and-Charge USB ports. Inexpensive. Plenty of storage. Good speakers. Discrete graphics for casual gamers.
    • Cons: One hard drive spins slower than the other. Resolution could be higher.
    • Comments:
      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...

    • Cons: Brief battery life No fingerprint reader

    • Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Toshiba Satellite A305
