Product Description

Product Description

The Satellite L300 laptop offers a 15.4" diagonal TruBrite widescreen high-def display. This brilliant high-gloss screen is big enough to let you multitask with open windows, see all the spreadsheet columns you want, plus get full enjoyment from movies, photos and games too. Yet it's compact enough to be portable. You won't believe the color and contrast either.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't be happier........, June 19, 2009

By	Kiwi (The Land of Enchantment) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 - C 585 / 2.16 GHz - RAM 2 GB - HDD 160 GB - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - GMA 4500M - WLAN : 802.11b/g - Vista Home Basic - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) TruBrite - matte silver - Microsoft Office Ready

I haven't had a new computer in 9 years....I sort of lost track of the advances in new technology and I was forced to update myself last month. I decided on this laptop because it didn't have a lot of extra programs which I don't need and because the first laptop I ever bought was a Toshiba...... and it lasted a very long time. The old one still actually works perfectly but can't be updated and does not have the WIFI and all the new attributes....

This laptop has plenty of speed and gives me gobs of space to download my own personal software...As an astrologer, I need a very clear screen to look at charts and I need to pull up charts quickly to examine them. The screen is crystal clear and the resolution fits my needs. Everything about this laptop works for me. I don't do any *gaming* or use software that requires more RAM or MEMORY, so I can't vouch for that.... but I do know that adding memory is quite easy.

All in all, this is a great computer and I love the WIFI. Now I know what the rest of the world has been doing with computers for the last decade !!! I love it !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great computer for the price, July 4, 2009

By	YA Librarian "http://yabookmarks.blogspot.com/" (Always Cloudy Upstate NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 - C 585 / 2.16 GHz - RAM 2 GB - HDD 160 GB - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - GMA 4500M - WLAN : 802.11b/g - Vista Home Basic - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) TruBrite - matte silver - Microsoft Office Ready

There are only two things I wanted to do on my laptop: write my stories and surf the web. I didnt want a computer that allowed me to play games or do anything fancy so this computer works great for me.

I'm not much of a computer person but this is what I have noticed.

The computer is very quiet, and the screen is clear and easy to read. It comes with a 30 free trial of Norton and Microsoft Office, which I uninstalled. I got bitdefender and openoffice. So far the computer is running smoothly. The battery life runs about 2hrs unless I am typing, then it lasts longer...or I think it lasts longer. It seems to anyway, but maybe that is my imagination. Vista seems to be working fine, although I have heard of some people have problems. So far so good with me.

The keyboard is nicely spaced. This does have a capslock, but no number pad on the side. I thought typing on a laptop keyboard would be harder for me (this is my first laptop) but it works out great.

It seems to be a fast little computer. The only hang up I have is when I go to my gmail account. For some reason it is a bit slow. I can zip around all other websites without any no problem.

Setting up the wifi was easy, which is good because like I said I know nothing about computers.

If you are looking for a computer for college or school and want something simple then I think this will work great.

I do want to say that this computer is currently selling for 299.00 at Best Buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazed & Disappointed, September 23, 2009

By	A. Underwood - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 - C 585 / 2.16 GHz - RAM 2 GB - HDD 160 GB - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - GMA 4500M - WLAN : 802.11b/g - Vista Home Basic - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) TruBrite - matte silver - Microsoft Office Ready

The hard drive on my Toshiba Satellite laptop completely fried for no apparent reason 60 days post purchase. I lost all my data, my operating system & Microsoft Office.

Much to my amazement, Toshiba has refused to provide any help other than replacing the hard drive, which is obviously still under warranty. They refused to assist with data recovery, are charging me for recovery discs & could care less that I have to pay $450 to replace Microsoft Office.

I've never experienced a so-called quality company so unwilling to stand behind its products. I'd exchange the computer for another brand in a second if I could.
