Toshiba Satellite U500-ST5305
$949.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Pretty slick aesthetic especially compared to the typical boring Toshiba design. Slot-loading DVD drive as opposed to the typical tray design. 16:10 aspect ratio provides more vertical screen real estate for more comfortable web browsing.
The Cons:Dated specs (Core 2 Duo CPU, DDR2 RAM) don't offer the power or efficiency of newer laptop chipsets.
