The Register Hardware have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite L450 affordable notebook PC. 'On its underside, the Satellite L450 provides easy access to the two memory slots and the Realtek 802.11n wireless card. The 250GB Sata hard drive, which ticks along at 5400rpm, is also accessible through a flap of its own. A circular grille allows the laptop fan to draw air in - this is then expelled via the large vent on the left side of the chassis. This fan regularly fired up during testing, even when the laptop was idle. Fortunately, it's reasonably quiet and shouldn't be a cause of irritation. It also seems to do a good job of keeping everything cool, with the trackpad being the only section that got slightly warm after extended periods of use.'
