I was recently given the opportunity to test and review the Toshiba Satellite A505 laptop computer. It is a Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz,with 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 16.0 in. TruBrite HD+ TFT, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and weighs only 6.48 lb. It is relatively lightweight.
The Quad-core Processor provides unflinching performance when playing intense 3D games, creating and editing digital video, music and photos, and more.
It's Resolution+™, upconverts your standard-def DVD content into sharper and more vibrant pictures that look and feel more like HD.
The built-in webcams and microphones let you chat face-to-face, collaborate, videoconference, and improve the way you interact with the computer world.
The only drawback I have seen is that the glossy design is a fingertip magnet. It is very sleek & stylish with a pin stripe, swirl pattern.
The battery shape lifts the back of the keyboard off your lap or work surface. This provides better airflow under the notebook as well as an improved typing angle, but will make it a tighter squeeze into some laptop bags.
I have had several laptops, of all sizes and brands and this is by far the best in this price range. Again, the only drawback is the fingerprints and I certainly can get past that for quality. I may just be a Toshiba convert.

Hi. I was browsing your site and left a comment elsewhere...so I'm commenting here to let you know I'm following you back.
It's hard to review a computer when you havent used it. I've had Toshibas (two in fact) and would never buy one again. The service is atrocious. Or should I say lack of service? I would definitely advise staying away from one.
thank you for becoming a follower! it means alot to me! i hope you stop by often, have a great weekend, take care

I would love to have that laptop. I know my teens would too! Following you back from ff.
wow that is a beautiful laptop! I want one! lol we have a dell from 2002 when I graduated college. It still works well and does what I need but is slow and so that can be frustrating. I think I would get a mac if I were going to get another, they just look so sleek!

I'm very interested in this review as we are researching laptops for our daughter who is about to go off to college in the fall. This is the one she has been talking about wanting. I have heard both good and bad by word of mouth but nothing really written in a review. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks, too, for visiting AND 'Following' my blog from Friday Follow! I am now your newest 'Follower', too! I look forward to reading more of your blog and getting to know you a little better.
Have a blessed day!
