Review Summary While it's hard to argue with a $350 laptop, the underpowered L305-S5955 is, basically, a Netbook in a larger case, with slightly better video playback. For a price just north of Netbook territory, Toshiba's chunky 15.6-inch Satellite L505D-S5965 has a solid, but uninspiring, selection of specs that at least won't hinder your basic computing needs. As long as you won't need more than what it already has, the budget-friendly Asus K50IJ-RX05 is money well spent. The Dell Inspiron i1545-012B is one of the better deals you'll find for a mainstream laptop priced less than $500.
