    The Good: Attractive design; large LCD for the money; touch multimedia controls; great speakers.

    The Bad: Slow performance; short battery life.

    The Bottom Line: The Toshiba Satellite P505D-S8930 is perfect if you need a large-screen portable computer, but you're not too much of a multitasker or in need of a long battery life.
