Toshiba Satellite Pro A210

Advantages: Powerful, fast, quiet, good gaming
Disadvantages: Short battery 1 hour and a bit normally

...I bought this mainly for the graphics card, I was impressed with the desktop version so when my laptop died I thought "ill get a laptop with the same graphics as my desktop" bought in bennetts for a very reasonable price (100 pounds UNDER toshiba website RRP at the time i love loss leaders :D ) The machine is smooth, and fast, and with service pack 1 installed the webcam is now reliable!!! The integrated webcam is perfectly usable in most conditions however in low light the picture can look noisy (grainy). The integrated speakers are high quality and do not buzz even at very high volumes. The screen is very clear and clean, infact my friend who has a 17 inch HP which is only a few months older was looking at mine with envious eyes.

Advantages: Cash back, looks, Broad, bright display; comfortable keyboard
Disadvantages: Unimpressive battery life

...I have never seen or used a Toshiba AMD based laptop that was better than this particular piece of kit This is definately a budget machine which is a perfect desktop replacement with a sleek design and attractive display that would appeal. Pros: Broad, bright display; comfortable keyboard, new measures that Toshiba has taken to insure quality and the look Cons: Unimpressive battery life; glossy screen finish produces reflections; Verdict: The inexpensive Toshiba Satellite Pro A210-1B1 laptop offers enough features and performance oomph for basic business tasks, but its AMD processor may disappoint hard-core multitaskers. Does not over warm up so thats good news for travellers like myself. Is very good value for money, looking at prices of different stores like Technoworld (by now you should all know it is my...
