This review is from: Toshiba Satellite 2455-S305 Laptop (2.40-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive) (Personal Computers)

I bought this laptop mainly to use at home, but in different rooms. Occasionally however I take it at work or abroad. Although it is not as light and slim as proper mobile units I have seen, it seems more strong and capable of enduring some hard times.

Pros: 2.4Ghz Intel Pentium 4 (not mobile/celeron)
533 Mhz FSB
Smart Digital slot
DVD-R/RW
Infra Red
60 Gb Hardisk
Well over 3 hours autonomy in 'Long Life' battery mode
Toshiba reliability/reputation

Cons: No Flobby Drive (Had to buy a USB one from Iomega - although I hate those diskettes.)
No built-in 802.11 wireless, although it is prepared to take one. I prefered a Linksys Wireless-G pc card, which I may remove and use on another system with ease.

If I may suggest another laptop which has better features, have a look at the Fujitsu N-Series. It has floppy and wireless built in.

I purchased this laptop about two weeks ago. I am very impressed. I haven't touched my desktop PC since I got the laptop. I truely replaced my desktop. The latest games run very smoothly on this machine. Also, video editing works great, probably one of the first laptops I would recomend video editing on. The DVD burner is amazing. There a few laptops that come with the dvd burner. This is truely one of the large purchases I have made that I didn't have buyers remorse on.

This is an awesome system. I purchased it on a great deal and have been using it regularly for about 2 weeks. The pluses include: fantastic keyboard, FAST system, great battery life (3+ hours, great for a desktop chip), 60gb HDD, S-video out, dedicated video memory (most feature shared), large bright display ... 533mhz system bus, DVD burner, V92 modem, intergrated ethernet, etc. Minuses: documentation is a little scant especially regarding the DVD drive, some keys are oddly placed (I am getting used to that though), if you use floppies there is not built in drive, if WiFi is your thing it is not included, and it is heavy (not a concern for me). Believe me, this system is fast and fully featured. If you don't have to travel much with it, buy it, you may not need your desktop system! Enjoy.
