Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite L305-S5955
-
CNET Review
The Good: Ridiculously affordable; decent screen; handles streaming video well.
The Bad: Slow, older CPU; thick and boxy; no Webcam.
The Bottom Line: 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.
