Toshiba Satellite A505-S6025 review: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6025

 

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6025

Solid combination of Core i3 processor and dedicated graphics; good battery life; better-than-average speakers.

Tremendous size and bulky battery; priced higher than other Core i3 laptops.

While the Toshiba Satellite A505-6025 has a rock-solid combination of computing power, graphics, and battery life, its price and bulk may be hard to swallow.

Toshiba A505D-S6987

 

The Toshiba A505D-S6987 covers all the expected bases for a general-use notebook, plus a few extras. In fact, it would make a nice gift for any techie requesting a Windows 7 laptop.

You also can’t ignore the two Dolby 5.1 Harman/Kardon speakers situated above the full-sized keyboard and textured touchpad with multitouch capabilities. These 1- x 2-inch stereo speakers produced decently deep lows and clear highs. The...
