    CNET Review

    August 15, 2003

    The Good: Excellent performance; DVD/CD-RW drive is standard.

    The Bad: Heavy; so-so battery life; expensive compared to its competition.

    The Bottom Line: Aside from its speed, Toshiba?s mainstream Satellite A15 series is pricey for what you get. It?s adequate for home or school use but not for business.
