The L300 means serious business with excellent features

Category: Review on Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 Celeron 550 (2.0 GHz / 1 GB / 120 GB / 15.4 in) Laptop

Strengths: Large screen and keypad, good features and built really well

Weaknesses: A bit bulky, touch pad not so great

Toshiba likes to do things king size as is apparent from the L300 which comes with a large screen at 15.4 inches and includes an excellent configuration as well. Like other Toshiba models, this one too has a strong built and can very easy to travel with. You can be rest assured that the L300 won’t give in easily to a few rough instances. The L300 might be a bit heavy to carry around too much and if you plan to travel a lot, a trolley bag is highly recommended.

The one niggling problem which continues to be present in most of the Toshiba laptops is the touch pad. If you also feel the same, then you can use a travel mouse. I prefer to use a travel mouse in any case since it is an ergonomically friendly thing to do. The L300 overall design is very simple making it suitable both for the house as well as the office. The one thing that the laptop does not do is make a fashion statement but then the pricing more than justifies this design limitation.

I particularly like the screen size and display quality which the Toshiba L300 boasts of and makes it such a worthwhile laptop. There is enough number of ports to comfortably connect to a wide number of peripherals which is really an excellent thing to do. So with a large screen, well spaced out keypad (which is such a luxury with laptops these days), the L300 is highly recommended for serious laptop users.
