InsideHW have got their hands on a Toshiba Satellite A300D-125 and reviewer Sasa Pantelic sums it up in two words – “dazzle everywhere”.

Though he is impressed by the shiny black “so-called piano finish”, he finds it to be a bit of a “magnet for dust and fingerprints” but by the end of the test he’s used to it and isn’t too worried about it. Sasa also discovers the touchpad is “very precise” and the translucent LED strap on the edge “makes easy navigation in poor lighting conditions”. Another test in the form of bending the keyboard is performed, with Sasa finding that “bending was hardly noticeable, a very pleasant surprise for us”, as well as being pleased that the screen, though of average picture quality, has high brightness and contrast levels, making work “possible even under bright lighting conditions”.

Concluding, although they had some reservations, the final evaluation for the Toshiba Satellite was “satisfactory” and it is a “solid home multimedia device”. Head over to InsideHW for the full review.
