The Toshiba name is one of those brands you cant ignore when on the hunt for a quality computer. Even thought the price of the Satellite M65-S821 is advertised around $1499, you can expect to pay a bit more if you desire to add to the configuration on offer. 'The copper-colored Toshiba Satellite M65-S821 seeks to serve home and small-business users who want a solid multimedia laptop without the exorbitant cost. This $1,499 midsize laptop offers niceties such as a sweeping 17-inch wide-screen, a double-layer DVD burner drive, and multimedia controls. It also provides plenty of performance for multimedia tasks, and it has a long battery life, though it's a bit too big for regular travel. A few things you won't get with the Satellite M65 are Windows XP Media Center Edition and a built-in TV tuner; for these and other cutting-edge technologies, check out the more expensive Sony VAIO VGN-AX570G. The HP Pavilion dv8000, priced similarly to the Satellite M65, also offers an XP Media Center option.

The Toshiba Satellite M65's case is 15.5 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 1.46 inches thick, placing it on the cusp between the midsize and desktop-replacement categories. The Toshiba weighs 7.4 pounds, which is about a pound lighter than a few other multimedia-oriented, desktop-replacement portables with 17-inch screens: the 8.4-pound VAIO VGN-AX570G, the 8.2-pound Dell Inspiron E1705, and the 8.3-pound HP Pavilion dv8000. The Satellite M65's AC adapter adds another 0.7 pound to its travel weight.'
