- Toshiba Satellite L355D
- The Toshiba Satellite L355D is a tough laptop to critique. One the one hand, its feature set is merely adequate, its battery life below average, and thanks to the inclusion of an AMD processor its performance--while sufficient for such basic computing tasks as Web surfing, watching movies, and word processing--can't...

- Toshiba Satellite A205-6808
- In the short time since Toshiba sent us our Satellite A205-S6808 review unit, the company has ceded the HD format war to rival Blu-ray, making the laptop's HD DVD drive a quaint novelty rather than a killer feature (fortunately, the drive still functions as a plain-old DVD burner). Aside from...

- Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437
- Priced at $899, the Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437 is one of the two cheapest systems in our roundup of sub-$1,000 laptops. Given that low price, it's no surprise that the Satellite (along with its compatriot, the $899 Gateway M-1618) incorporates a low-cost AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. It's also no surprise...
