We took a look at the Toshiba Satellite E105-S1402 the other day, so I figured comparing the new Toshiba Satellite M305-S4835 specs might be appropriate. The M305, which runs about $1,050, is almost identical to it’s Best Buy cousin. However, the M305 is set up to be a little more powerful at home.
Primarily, the M305 can be used as a home media center, with a nice display size and a reasonable processor setup. From what I can gather though, the M305 is two things; sort of standard and really adequate. And that’s great, right? For a smidgen over $1,000, you should expect a standard, adequate laptop. No frills here, but nothing huge missing, either. And while it’s sorting specs comparable with the more expensive MacBook, PC Magazine seemed unimpressed with the M305 in speed tests, making me wonder if there are better Mac beaters out there. Probably.
The specs:
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P7350
- Processor Speed: 2 GHz
- RAM: 4 GB
- Weight: 5.5 lbs.
- Display Size: 14.1 inches
- Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
- Storage Capacity: 320 GB
- Networking Options: 802.11 n
- Primary Optical Drive: Dual-Layer DVD+/-RW
