Toshiba Satellite C855

A sub-£500 15.6in laptop with USB 3.0. Sensible, but is it exciting enough?

USB 3.0, Generous RAM, Decent battery life

Mediocre keyboard, Drab looks, Poor internal speakers

Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176

The Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176 offers plenty of processing power thanks to its second-generation Intel Core i3-2310M processor. Throw in a Blu-ray player, improved graphics and gaming options, and a sub-$800 price tag, this is an enticing system for...

Second-generation Intel Core i3 processor. Clever features like Sleep-and-Charge and Sleep-and-Listen. Blu-ray drive is a steal at this price. Great speakers and sound.

Lackluster display. Hard drive is oh-so-average. Lots of bloatware.

Toshiba doesn't hesitate to shovel on the bloatware, and this laptop has a full load. In addition to the usual software trials, like a 30-day trial of Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office 2001 Starter, you'll also find an array of...

Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176X review: Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176X

Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176X

A Blu-ray drive and excellent speakers make the ; worth considering for those looking for a reasonably priced 15-inch multimedia laptop.

Uninspiring design, a middle-of-the-pack battery, and a bulky feel keep it from being a standout.

While the $799 Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176X is an affordably priced Blu-ray laptop with a next-gen Intel Core i3 processor, there are other options out there that offer better design or performance for the same money.

Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4 review: Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4

Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4

Better CPU for less money than its predecessor.

Poor battery life; stuck with HD DVD drive; other systems offer more gaming muscle for less.

We've always appreciated the inexpensive SLI options offered by Toshiba's gaming-oriented X205 series, but it's hard to recommend the X205-SLi4 when other vendors offer better frame rates for almost $1,000 less.

Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4

The Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4 is an attractively priced SLI gaming laptop that should bring new gaming talent out of the woodwork.

Appeals to budget gamers. SLI configuration. Copious amount of RAM. Fast-spinning hard drives. Six USB ports. Sporting a new Penryn processor.

Cumbersome-looking. Small battery.

Toshiba Satellite X205 review: Toshiba Satellite X205

Toshiba Satellite X205

SLI graphics at a relatively low price; good gaming performance; HDMI output.

Pitiful battery life; too much Toshiba branding; mini spacebar; fixed configuration means no GPU options; lower screen resolution than some other 17-inch laptops.

Toshiba's Satellite X205 offers dual-GPU SLI graphics starting at less than $2,000, making it a solid choice for mobile gamers on a budget.

This big multimedia notebook is for on-the-go gamers and TV fans. The Toshiba Satellite X205-S9359 handles 3D shooters with aplomb, plus it comes bundled with an add-on TV tuner and remote control for watching shows. For work, productivity applications...

Dual hard drives Four built-in speakers

Heavy total weight Unimpressive battery life

If you're looking for a mainstream or inexpensive notebook, the X205-S9359 will be too much bang for too many bucks. But if a strong gaming notebook that can also feed your TV addiction and comes with Microsoft Word and Excel sounds like the ideal...
