    CNET Review

    August 15, 2007

    The Good: Sturdy construction yet sleek design; ample RAM and hard-drive capacity for less than $1,000; includes extras such as a Labelflash optical drive and a Webcam; speakers provide passable audio.

    The Bad: AMD processor can't keep up with Intel competition; no Bluetooth option; no option for nonglossy screen.

    The Bottom Line: Toshiba's Satellite A215 is a well-balanced budget laptop. Its ample memory and big hard drive offset the low-end AMD processor, making the A215 a good deal among 15-inch mainstream laptops.
