Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 Review - CNET

CNET have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 Notebook PC. ‘From the outside, the Satellite M205 is nearly identical to the other laptops in Toshiba's current lineup, such as the Satellite U305, with the same rounded edges, black accents, and silver interior. The dark-blue-speckled lid has a high-gloss coating--making it especially vulnerable to fingerprints and smudges, but it's attractive otherwise. One of our common complaints about the company's laptops remains the giant "Toshiba" emblazoned in large silver letters across the laptop's lid and the backlit Satellite logo on the front edge. It all adds up to branding overkill, making us feel like a walking billboard.

Blue LED lights on the front edge give you updates about battery status and hard drive activity without causing distraction, and a row of media control buttons (play/pause, and so forth) sits above the keyboard, between the stereo speakers. These are not the Harman Kardon speakers found on more expensive Toshiba laptops such as the X205, but the sound quality is acceptable for casual listening, although still too thin and brittle for enjoying music. The keyboard has a little of that click-clack quality some find annoying, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.’
