For those working on a budget – especially for students, the Toshiba Satellite L305-S5921 is a well equipped notebook with a reasonable price of about $499. The notebook has three USB ports, a 4-in-1 Bridge Media Adapter and an Express Card slot and runs on the Intel Core 2 Duo T3400 Pentium processor which boosts speed for superior multimedia and lesser power needs.
The 15.4” smudge resistant 1280 x 800 pixel resolution widescreen has 2GB of RAM which can be converted to 4GB. TruBrite technology allows excellent video and immersive 3D graphics. This adds a great experience for movie watching or gaming.
The 160 GB hard drive allows a lot of space for programs, documents and media filed. There is 128MB of shared video memory and a Super Multi DVD drive that allows the user to burn CDs and supports dual layers DVDs.
Despite its cheapness, the laptop looks smart. The cool looking glossy black finish with onyx blue lid is sure to attract attention. The notebook weighs at 6 pounds – not really light but it is portable enough.
The spacious keyboard makes typing effortless and above the keyboard are the power button and the media control keys. The mouse buttons also work well without giving that annoying ticking noise that most mouse buttons produce.
However, this laptop does not have a FireWire port, web cam or Bluetooth among its features. Despite these losses, there is still a media control bar that works without difficulty. And the WiFi feature of the laptop works easily with ant wireless hotspot for accessible hassle free internet connection.
The Toshiba Satellite L305-S5921 is not built and equipped for gaming or multimedia entertainment purposes. For users who just need the basics in a laptop, a practical and affordable choice with a wide display of features is the Toshiba Satellite L305-S5921.
