If you are looking for a budget laptop, without compromising on style and performance, then the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6864 is one of the best mobile computing devices you could opt for.

It’s an appealing laptop with a high-gloss finish, right from the screen cover to the entire keyboard area. The edges are not sharp; rather this unit has smooth rounded corners which make it comfortable to hold in your hands. Another unique feature of this device is its powerful built-in speakers. The other hardware installations are also very impressive. There is one speedy 2.26-GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 processor backed up by a formidable 4GB of RAM. Running heavy applications on this laptop is, therefore, obviously not an issue. To put it into perspective, the Sony VGN-FW21Z offers a similar performance, but for a far higher price. The A305 also has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256MB graphics card, which makes it an ideal device for playing new generation 3D games. This is not the best gaming laptop in the market, but if matched with its price then it certainly is up there. Performance wise this machine stands close to the Sony’s VAIO VGN-SZ791N which is very costly.

The connectivity options are also more than satisfactory. It offers a 10/100 ethernet LAN, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, eSATA, i-Link Firewire, ExpressCard and three USB 2.0 ports. The storage is provided via 320GB, 5400rpm hard disk drive. The only grey area this laptop possesses is it does not have backlit keyboard, which makes it almost impossible to work in dark areas. Oh! In case you are wondering, the display is fine as well with a 15.4-inch screen.
