Avec ce modèle 15 pouces, à la coque noire laquée, Toshiba démontre qu’il peut aussi fabriquer des PC portables tape-à-l’œil. Il joue même la carte de l’innovation avec un système de reconnaissance faciale qui permet de démarrer le PC en se plaçant devant l’objectif de la webcam. Passé cette fonction gadget, on retient l’équipement sans faille avec la dernière puce Intel, un Penryn à 2,2 GHz, 3 Go de mémoire vive, un disque dur de 250 Go et une Radeon Mobility avec 256 Mo dédiés pour la partie affichage.
Difficile d’ailleurs de prendre en défaut ce modèle puisque le reste est du même acabit avec un graveur de DVD double couche, un connecteur HDMI, du Wi-Fi –n ou encore une prise e-SATA pour accueillir un disque dur externe. Au final, une vraie machine polyvalente dont le look est un indéniable plus.
So begins the MSN review of this Toshiba notebook, and justifies their carefully chosen words with a graphic allusion to the “sleek latch-less design, glossy black chassis and a textured palmrest”.
Nice. But it’s not all about style over substance here, and the reviewer also seems impressed with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor “which is designed to provide powerful energy efficient performance so you can do more at once without slowing down”, not to mention “enjoying fantastic movie and game playback”. For the full review take a look over here, but it wouldn’t be right to leave this post without mentioning the interface onboard.
Back to our reviewer - “The elegant Aero interface with glass-like menus, live thumbnails and 3D screens you can flip through make using your PC a pleasure.” Nice to hear.
How many great inventions of this modern world do we take for granted? I for one used to neglect Toshiba laptops and their greatness” begins the post from Coriander Dreams in her post entitled ‘Using this one everyday’ – and what a pleasant beginning to a post it is.
Now although the mysteriously monikered author doesn’t go on to elucidate about exactly what Toshiba she is talking about, she does seem to be extremely happy about the “glossy screen” – of course, not everything is perfect – but while “the only thing I am not that happy about is the screen size”, who can deny that “of course this means it is a lot lighter in weight as well so I should not really complain about it.”
Meanwhile, Colleen from GeekySpeaky has come out, all guns blazing, in support of Microsoft Vista – quite unexpected after she openly admits that she actively sought any other operating system just weeks ago when purchasing a sparkly new Toshiba. All change now though, and she has to admit “I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had any of the compatibility issues that I’ve heard others reporting, and if anything, Vista and the way it works to organize things has made my life easier.”
“So yes, I’m willing to take back all of the negative press I gave Vista…but it IS a Microsoft product, so we all know there’s still room for error.” Indeed, but interesting to note that there are bloggers out there who do like the Vista platform.
Meanwhile, Tom Barrett has received his new Toshiba Satellite A300 to review, and has already discovered a nifty feature “Been sent a new Toshba A300 to look at - fancy Harmon Kardon speakers in built” – we hope you enjoy it sir!
Isn’t it strange when you don’t quite realise the beauty of something until it’s lain out in front of you, and the latest video from ‘HellasAthens1’ of the Toshiba Satellite A300 does just that!
Accompanied with an undoubtedly (ahem…) bangin’ soundtrack, this YouTube user seeks out all the prettiest angles, and delights in capturing the shiny notebook at its very best. Snapping from every angle you can think of, and packing the video with full spec, he kicks off the video by announcing “Is it enough to say TOSHIBA SATELLITE series?”
With camerawork like that, we think it probably is Hellas… Why not take a look for yourself?

Da ist es mal wieder die Frage, welches Notebook ist das Richtige? Tobi5887, vom notebookforum.at Forum, hat sich zu mindestens schon auf einen Preis von rund 800€ festgelegt und auch schon zwei Favoriten rausgesucht:
Einmal der “Toshiba Satellite A300-1LO” der in der aktullen Media Markt Werbung zu finden ist für 799€ und dem “Acer Aspire 5920G-6A4G32MN” von Notebooksbilliger.de für 749€.
Jetzt ist natürlich die Frage, welches ist besser geeignet. Bis jetzt hat ihm noch keiner weitergeholfen, also wenn ihr eine Meinung dazu habt, dann tut ihm doch den gefallen und schreibt hier ins Forum. Vielen Dank!
It’s always nice to get in a jolly positive review from a blog we’re big fans of, and so this glowing take on the Toshiba Satellite A300D has seen smiles all round the talkToshiba office today.
And it’s the gaj-it.com blog today who provided the write-up, and without going into too much detail (we suggest you pop over and read here), just take a look at the overall verdict.
Particularly impressed with the sound which was “clear and crisp, even at a high level” which meant that the reviewer’s “girlfriend’s Trance music collection could be heard for the neighbours to get annoyed at”. Coupled with that, Arutha added “this laptop makes worrying about hard disc space non existent”, whilst suggesting “the screen is a rather nice affair, with it being not too small or not too large”.
Of course, it can’t all be to one’s taste – “The mouse pad is a different story, which I didn’t like at all”, but overall – a very positive review indeed! Read it all here.
Der 15,4″ Allrounder ist wie sein großer Bruder der P300 in schicker Klavierlack-Optik gehalten.
“Ein Blender ist das A300-18K dadurch aber nicht, denn es bietet dank dem Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Prozessor und der HD3650 Grafikkarte von ATI eine ordentliche Anwendungs- und 3D-Leistung.”
Weitere Pluspunkte sammelt das Notebook mit einer guten Verarbeitung, den Harman/Kardon Lautsprechern und einer guten und leisen Wärmeableitung. Negativ ist das etwas schwache Display und die Akkuleistung aufgefallen und beim A300 fehlt im Gegensatz zum P300 ein HDMI-Anschluss. Es besitzt aber, wie alle neueren Toshiba Notebooks, die Gesichtserkennungs und USB Sleep & Charge Funktion.
Insgesamt wurde es als “gutes 15,4 Zoll Multimedia-Notebook” bewertet. Wenn ihr mehr wissen wollt, dann schaut euch doch einfach den sehr guten und ausführlichen Testbericht hier an oder ihr diskutiert im Forum mit.
