ZDNet Australia have got the lowdown on the Toshiba Satellite Pro M300, with author Michael Palamountain awarding it a solid 7 out of 10, calling it “A modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price”.

Michael praises the M300 for being “classy”, mentioning that its silver and black finish makes it “a fine looking machine”. He’s also impressed by the speakers, mentioning that although they are tiny, they have “very good sound quality”. Though Michael is impressed with the weight of the M300, he does have some reservations about the “shiny screen” which sometimes gets affected by sunlight, though this is obviously not limited to Toshiba laptops.

After a rundown of the software and specs that come with the M300, Michael concludes that “the test results all indicate great performance in terms of office productivity”, but the graphics may not be quite up to standard for dedicated gamers, though it’s just fine for watching a DVD on. Hard drive and general processor performance come in for praise, and the idea of exchanging the 6-cell battery for a longer lasting 9-cell gets the thumbs up.
