| The Bottom Line | The Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437 is a well-balanced budget laptop, but we wish its battery life were longer. | Toshiba's Satellite A215 is a well-balanced budget laptop. Its ample memory and big hard drive offset the low-end AMD processor, making the A215 a good deal among 15-inch mainstream laptops. | A standout among budget midsize laptops, the 14.1-inch Gateway T-6836 marries strong performance and battery life with a compact, well-designed case. | The midsize Toshiba Satellite A305D-S6848 offers a high-end design and decent feature set, but you can get better performance for the same (or less) money. | There is nothing inherently wrong with the entry-level Toshiba Satellite L305, but both Dell and Sony have 15-inch budget laptops that offer more for less. | Basic specs |
