Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite M305-S4826

CNET Review
The Good: Stylish new design; charges USB devices, even when off.
The Bad: Glossy finish attracts fingerprints; way too much bloatware; Sleep-and-Charge feature is turned off by default.
The Bottom Line: Toshiba's new Satellites, including the 14-inch M305, offer a reasonable mix of performance and price, but are weighed down by excessive out-of-the-box advertising links.
