Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7438 Reviews

Toshiba's latest AMD notebook offering proves that even those on a relative budget deserve a feature-packed model. Besides its 17-inch display, the P205D-S7479 offers nice harman/kardon speakers, a thumbprint reader, a large 250GB hard-drive, an ATI HD...

At $1,299, the P205D-S7479 is a great value ; Design is top-rate; features are well-presented ; Thumbprint reader and speakers both offer strong benefit over the competition ; Crisp and bright screen, but subpar viewing angle ; Full Numpad is a...

The 17-inch Satellite P205D-S7479 is on the slow side in office applications and suffers from short battery life, but it gets the daily-grind stuff done and is a pretty fast gamer. If a budget desktop replacement laptop capable of running decent...

Lots of quick-launch buttons, number pad ; Good screen, sound
