Toshiba Satellite U505-S2960
$800.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Responsive and fast in general operation. Can handle some light gaming duties, although there will be some slow-down in high-demand games. Textured finish looks nice and resists fingerprints and smudges.
The Cons:Touchpad doesn't work reliably, tends to behave unpredictably at times. Letters on the keyboard are very light and hard to read in low light.
