Advantages: Cheap, Good Size, Battery Life Ok Disadvantages: Low GB's, Hard Drive Weak
I bought this computer about six months ago. The monitor size is nice and it gets most things done that I want to do which is good for the affordable price. A couple of negatives include the amount of space is low if you are into any sort of graphics or music, the computer tends to get really hot with use (it would be fine if you do not use it all day), Vista that is installed on the machine has been having difficulty picking up portable hard drives, ... ...few months ago but they seem to have gone away.

The battery life is a bit on the low side only lasting around a couple of hours or so.
It has an integrated graphics card which limits 3D gaming performance.
The keys are shiny - not sure about this one!! ...

Toshiba Satellite A300-177 is designed for home users. Its price is around $ 750 in the market
Design and build:
It's one of the most stylish laptops we've seen, combining the rounded styling of other recent Toshiba Satellite models with plastic surface which gives it a fantastic look. Its weight is 2.9 KG so users can carry them anywhere with them with ease. And the thickness is only 3.45 cm so therefore this notebook has a ideal design and can ... ...and accurate.
Performance:
The Toshiba satellite A300-177 has 1.83 core 2 dual processor and 2GB of ram which makes it a good machine for those users who want to perform basic day to day computing tasks. The graphic card is not too good so gaming and video editing may not be to easy for this laptop to be carried out. But the the machine is ideal for home use, it only slows down when many applications are run simultaneously. Ports and features:
