Toshiba Satellite M300 Series


Product Shot 1 The Pros:Battery life is very long between charges. Performance is better than most netbooks, handles multiple applications and streaming video easily. Textured outer shell looks great, resists fingerprints effectively.

The Cons:Built-in speakers are very poor quality, sound is tinny and washed out, can't get very loud. Running Windows 7 Starter, many crippled functions. Gets very warm around the vents.
