Toshiba Satellite Pro L500

Advantages: Fast, wide range of extra features, comprehensive instruction manual
Disadvantages: Other than the hefty price tag, none at all

...Please note: I am reviewing the L500-1RG model (specifications can be found here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BVUseBVCookie=yes&PRODUCTID=1080824). This particular model has been discontinued, however this review is still of relevance to the rest of the L500 series (in particular, the L500-1RJ). I'd like to start by pointing out that this laptop does not actually belong to me - it's my papa's. Despite this, I use it the most (even though I have a desktop at his house and a laptop of my own). I will try to review this laptop as comprehensively as possible but I am a limited user so don't have access to all of it's features. Anyway, without boring you further with details of access rights, here is my review: Speed The Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 is...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro L500

Satellite Your Time

Advantages: Great performance and reasonable pricing.
Disadvantages: Medium battery life and a strange rugged texture to some of the exterior.

...The Toshiba Satellite range has been in production for over a decade now, and much has improved since some of its earlier models. And that includes the introduction of the companies year 2000 edition, which came with a 6 GB HDD and ran at 500 MHz - unbelievably, this comparatively under-specced (for todays standards) model was sold for $2400 (new) at the time. It just goes to show how much PC technology has advanced over past years... incredible. This model then, the 'Toshiba Satellite C660-155' was a PC I purchased 6-months ago at the reasonable price of £420.00 from dabs.co.uk. in today's world, this model is more than capable of running the latest software (including Windows 7 - with which it was fitted) and playing the latest games (including World Of Warcraft), but to begin with, how does it fair aesthetically against other...

Review of Toshiba Satellite Pro C660

Toshiba Satellite Pro A60

Advantages: Sturdy design Nice Blue colour Get a lot for your money
Disadvantages: Overheating/crashing problems experienced Memory upgrade was necessary Required a lot of tweaking to get 'right'

...The Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 laptop is ideal for entry level home users, and possibly students who have some time on their hands to sort stuff out. I wouldn't say it was suitable for the lower end of the business market, as Toshiba seem to be targeting with this product. I could be wrong however, maybe I was just unlucky! I have had mine for 8 months now, after previous satellite old faithful, which I had owned for about 7 years, gave up the ghost in the middle of a project, and I needed a cheap laptop quickly. I was impressed by the blue design which veers away from the boring black/grey you're used to seeing on the budget end notebooks. For the budget it was a toss up between this or a Dell, and in the end I decided to go for the Tosh which wasn't the bottom end of the scale like the Dell was for the same money. Due to...
