Toshiba Portege M300 laptop review

When we think of Toshiba notebooks we either think of their impressive Qosmio range, which combines TV and multimedia in one box; or its Satellite range of boxy but powerful desktop alternatives. However, Toshiba also does a fine line of ultraportables...

Powerful, long battery life

Poor graphics

Matching battery life with all round portability, this Toshiba is designed to go all the way.

Toshiba Portege M300

The M300 will satisfy users who need a stylish lightweight notebook with an optical drive for their work. Mind the processing power, though.

Toshiba Portege M300

I'm using this laptop at the moment in elective geography at school (mind you they're less than a year old here). It is INSANE how many faults it has.

Really light
