    CNET Review

    July 23, 2008

    The Good: Decent overall performance; nice-looking design; media control buttons above keyboard and volume dial along front edge add convenience; includes a Webcam--a feature not found on all entry-level laptops.

    The Bad: Mediocre battery life; substandard keyboard; wobbly display; cluttered desktop; no FireWire or Bluetooth.

    The Bottom Line: There is nothing inherently wrong with the entry-level Toshiba Satellite L305, but both Dell and Sony have 15-inch budget laptops that offer more for less.
