Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite A15-S127 (Celeron 2 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD)

CNET Review
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.
