Toshiba Satelit A300


The Satellite A series has been one of the more popular models from the Toshiba. When the previous Satellite A200 was bundled with an HD-DVD drive, it was one of the cheapest machines with a next-gen optical drive.

The good: Webcam with face-recognition technology; HDMI-CEC output; powerful graphics performance; Sleep-and-Charge USB ports; strong multimedia suite with FM tuner.

The bad: No subwoofer; expensive; high-maintenance glossy keyboard; large and heavy for a midsized portable; no TV tuner; no Blu-ray option; stiff touchpad buttons.

The bottom line: The Satellite A300 backs up its high price tag with a strong multimedia suite. Unfortunately, this machine is found lacking when it comes to HD movies as it does not have a Blu-ray drive
