Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1FO

70% Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1FK review
Source: Techradar English
Toshiba Satellite L300 is a powerful, well-equipped choice for the home or school, or even on the move. As with Fujitsu's Esprimo laptops, Toshiba's Satellite Pro range targets corporate users. While performance and network connectivity fall slightly behind some similar laptops, the Satellite Pro L300-1FK compensates in enough areas to be an excellent buy for the price.
Although the Fujitsu Esprimo V6535 is slightly more powerful and has faster network connectivity, the stunning screen, strong graphics, great battery and integrated camera of the Satellite Pro L300-1FK make it a better choice.

Toshiba's 15" laptop is flawed on the surface, but has great resilience, mobility and performance. Toshiba's Satellite Pro range is aimed at corporate users and is known for its no-nonsense design and resilient build quality. While the limited storage and features of the Satellite Pro L300-1FO are unfortunate, its strength, battery and performance help it stand out, making it an excellent choice for both business and consumer users alike.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500M:

The graphics core of the Intel GL40 and GS40 chipset features a slower clocked GMA 4500MHD (400 versus 533 MHz). Because of the slower core speed, full Blu-Ray Logo support is not given and the gaming performance is a bit worse.

Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.

T3400:

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

2.5 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
