    CNET Review

    December 5, 2007

    The Good: Typically attractive Toshiba design in a handy 14-inch format; decent specs, including 160GB hard drive.

    The Bad: Doesn't include features found in other, only slightly higher-end Satellite laptops, including 802.11n Wi-Fi, Harman Kardon speakers, and LabelFlash optical drive; only 1GB of RAM; not customizable.

    The Bottom Line: The Toshiba Satellite M205 strips out most of the typical Satellite series extras, but comes at a reasonable price and boasts an attractive design as well as a useful, versatile 14-inch chassis.
