Toshiba Satellite L500D

 

We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.

Toshiba bundles both 64- and 32-bit versions of Vista in the recovery partition, Excellent features for the price

Hot air vent on left-hand side, No gigabit Ethernet or Bluetooth, Battery life is punished due to the Radeon GPU

The Toshiba L500-11V is an affordably priced and well balanced laptop for home and family use, with good speed performance, a large widescreen display, and battery life that means it can even be taken for some light travelling.

Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 1D6 review

 

Can Toshiba's 15.6in laptop meet the demands of business users? We review the Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 1D6 to find out.

The Toshiba is not a stylish machine, but it is solid, dependable and speedy, which for most companies will be a priority. The downsides are a relatively low screen resolution, and non-Gigabit Ethernet, but if you want an easy to read display, a...

Toshiba Satellite L500D

 

I have had my Laptop for 8 months and i am already impressed on its performance. Taking the 1GB Radeon with the Dual 2.5GHz Core, makes it a real gaming computer, the battery life last about 3 hours on a Low Performance mode.

Excellent Performance, Price & Battery
