    CNET Review

    March 8, 2006

    The Good: Reasonable price; 17-inch wide-screen; double-layer DVD burner; multimedia controls; great Harman Kardon speakers; good mobile performance; long battery life.

    The Bad: No Windows XP Media Center or TV tuner options; limited connectors.

    The Bottom Line: The midsize Toshiba Satellite M65 strikes a good balance between nice multimedia features, solid performance and battery life, and a fair price.
