    CNET Review

    The Good: Features a dual-core processor for a very aggressive, entry-level price.

    The Bad: Unattractive, bulky design; missing useful features such as Bluetooth or a Webcam.

    The Bottom Line: 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.
