Toshiba L350

Full review of Toshiba L350

Meet Toshiba's L350 laptop computer from their Satellite Pro lineup. It is a budget computer for today's business professional promoting all the features you need, without the fuss and flair of much more.

Our unit weighed in at about nine and a half pounds, fifteen inches across and roughly two inches thick, this laptop is a beast to lug around, and really makes a difference in the style one can mobilize with this amount of weight.

Aesthetically, the machines plastic casing with a dull gray and black finish stress that the L350 is certainly not intended to promote PC envy amongst fellow corporate users.

Features, Performance and Conclusion

The L350 features a full-size keyboard with a number pad and raised black, plastic keys.

Regrettably, this Satellite doesn't come with much of an impressive list for connectivity, but it does match what is needed most by business professionals. Featuring a wireless on/off switch, multi-media card reader mic-in / audio out, and that handy volume knob.There is also a VGA output, Ethernet port, three USB 2.0 ports ExpressCard slot and a standard modem connection.

Performance was very decent, but with integrated Graphics it left something to be desired - another thing to note is this unit comes pre-packaged with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, which leaves something else to be desired with Vista hitting mainstream acceptance.

At a little over a $1000 purchase price, the Toshiba L350 Satellite Pro may be the laptop for you - if you need a 17 inch budget laptop.
