Toshiba Satellite M305-S4915 14.1-Inch Laptop

Product Description

Need a laptop designed to perform not just at a desk but wherever life takes you? Bring along Toshiba's Satellite M300 series. And bring on the power. With a lightweight design and highly portable footprint, these laptops are great for working at your desk or while away on business. The 14.1-inch screen is compact enough for carrying comfort, big enough to help you multitask and work with spreadsheets, yet great for a movie on the long trip home.

The glossy finish its a magnet for fingerprints! everything its glossy even the keyboard (a real issue)i really hate it! im thinking to replace it.

Everything else its Ok! Very fast laptop!

Customer Buzz
This little laptop is not only the best in its price range, but it blows away many larger and more expensive computers. If you have children in College - it is your best bet. Light, portable, and fast with just about all the bells and whistles you could want.

Customer Buzz
Like Toshiba laptops generally, they are realtively strong,and this model is rather powerful for the money. The glossy finish makes it an ad for fingerprints, smudges, dust -- every little thing shows ups - What on earth were the designers thinking when they came up with a high gloss finish("We'll make every surface high gloss, the cover glossy, the case glossy, even the keys! It will be beautiful!" "Uh, ever heard of fingerprints?")

As laptops go, the Toshiba Sattelite's tend to be reliable and reasonably rugged.

The set up is easy and the Toshiba software for, for example, software updating, is easy to use. You do need to go to the toshiba website and look for the BIOS update and download and run that but it's easy to do although most novices will probably avoid those steps.

Like many Toshibas, battery life is poor at best, only about 45 min to 1.5 hours, depending on hw much you use the hdrive, dvd and how bright the screen is, etc. The advertised battery life seems to assume you don't use the hdrive much, nor the dvd and keep the screen dim. Still, one would be hard pressed to get the advertised battery life.

So these notebooks are good if you need a PC you can move from place to place. But if you want one to use whihle on the move (without being plugged in for several hours) then you might want to check out notebooks designed favoring battery liffe over performance. OR you can fine tune the Power Control on this machine, dimmer screen, turning off hdisk sooner, going into hibernation instead of sleep, etc. The Toshiba software, which youcan access through the Windows Control Panel gives you considerable flexibility adjusting advanced power control options. The stock options, even the so-called "balanced" mode won't favor battery life longer than an about an hour.

Customer Buzz
keyboard is dark gray with black letters; virtually impossible to read except under direct bright light. I had to return the laptop.
Flawed product design; HP must redesign keybord.

Customer Buzz
This is my first laptop and I think I made a great choice. Firstly, I bought it directly from hp.com and with the rebates I had, saved two hundred dollars. Secondly, I got free 2 day shipping and it arrived on time.

The first thing I like about it is that the color is not the cheap gold look you see in the picture. I love the keyboards on HPs Entertainment and Special Edition notebooks. They do not feel cramped. There have been many cmplaints about the glare of the keyboards on this and the black and chrome models. So far, I have had no problems with the glare. Yes, I agree with the other reviewer, that the keys are hard to see in the dark. I would assume that would be the case for any laptop unless it is backlighted and this is not. It is light (wtihtout the battery), the speakers generate nice sound, it finds wireless networks instantly, and I actually like Vista. Just a note, read up on accessing the hidden administrator account if you are new to Vista. It has some serious security that will keep you from making even the most basic adjustments, including removing the bloatware.
HP has done a wonderful job in including set up tutorials and online registration processes. The size is fantastic and screen is beautiful. I have not attached any peripherals up to it yet, so I cannot really comment on that.

Cons:
The battery life is short.. maybe an hour and a half even when it in the recommended power save mode. It has a lighted HP emblem on the back of the cover that uses resources. HP could have added the backlighted keyboard instead! The verdict is still out on there telephone tech service! I have had better experience with there chat support.
The comp does sound like it is working overtime anytime I burn a CD and the vibration generating from drive is a bit too much for me to type at the same time.

This is a great laptop, esp. if you can get it for under $[...]. It has only some bells and whistles, so if you want built in bluetooth and a blueray player, you will have to go up a model. Otherwise, no reason not to consider this one.

Customer Buzz
Performance is good, lookwise it is good and come with good features but only problem is with keyboard color...you can't see lables/alphabets on keyboard clearly (because of bronze color) specially during night time...I am good in keyboard typing so it's fine for me ..if you are not good in typing and can't type without looking into keyboard then little bit you need to strugle in finding keys in keyboard.
This laptop worth it for $700....good value for money and go for it if you are comfortable with keyboard
I am unable to edit my rating ...I will rate this laptop for 4 out of 5
