Toshiba Satellite A505-S6986
$800.00
Released October, 2009
The Pros:Runs fairly cool and quiet, don't normally hear it at all. General operation is quick and responsive once it has been cleaned of excessive software.
The Cons:Keys aren't well defined, often need to look down to find the one you're looking for. Design makes you hit Caps Lock instead of Shift a few times until you get used to it. Keyboard feels a bit loose and flexible, not very comfortable.
