Toshiba Satellite M30 Special Edition
Friday November 19, 2004
Price at time of review.
Widescreen notebooks are the way of the future, really they are. With entertainment now proficiently done on the go, why would we go back to limited 4:3 aspect ratio? It's far easier to work on two spreadsheets concurrently in widescreen without needing to alt tab like a madman. Toshiba, like many manufacturers, has seen this need and provided such a product.
A little expensive for the offering, it falls short in the graphics department. Add a remote, up the GPU, and this could be an award winner.
