3 Star ReviewInexpensive notebook
Strengths: Nice screen, simple and clean design. Able to play CD/DVD media without booting into Windows. Speed is reasonable for the cost.
Weaknesses: Windows XP Home instead of MCE, no Firewire, no remote, no media card reader. Expansion card is old CardBus PCMCIA.
Summary: Reasonably well designed computer for the price. It's not a real media-center machine since it comes with XP Home instead of MCE, and has no remote control or media card slots. The Celeron M 420 was surprisingly speedy (it's Yonah-based, at least). The included 512MB memory is supplied on a single SODIMM. There is no easy access to the built-in wireless (Atheros-based) or the CPU. Oddly enough, there are USB ports on the right hand side and on the back, but none on the left. As a nice touch, there is an old-fashioned volume dial controlling the sound volume from speaker or headphones. Not so nice is the latch mechanism for the screen - it looks flimsier than any that I've come across, and will probably break sooner rather than later.

Strengths: No problems have been encountered, beautiful display screen, excellent keyboard.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: 2007-05-29 06:17:45 I purchased this unit to replace my old, old, Windows 95 Fujitsu LifeBook. Major considerations on buying this over others was that the price fit my budget, 300 percent drop from the LifeBook I bought ten years ago, integrated wireless, and the DVD burner. Everything meets or exceeded my expectations. I still adapting to Windows XP, a big change from Windows 95, but the Toshiba Satellite is making everything very enjoyable.
