Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D
Source: PC Advisor
It's definitely no speed demon, and you can find better battery life in the upper price tiers, but the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1001V is about as good as it gets for the money. If you're watching your bottom line like a hawk (who isn't these days?), consider the L300D.

Some small-business laptops are light and feature-rich, designed for the entrepreneur on the go. The Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1003X ($849.99 list) is at the other extreme: a hefty, plodding 15-inch laptop that's best for a deskbound worker doing generalized office and Internet tasks. The Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1003X's performance isn't impressive, and the lack of essentials like a fingerprint reader is a disappointment.

Despite what Toshiba says, we suggest you think of the Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1001V as a consumer machine: With the exception of a crapware-free desktop, it has no features tailored for mobile professionals. Before you buy, consider the Fujitsu LifeBook A6120: for $150 more, it offers a larger hard drive, sleeker design, Windows Vista Home Premium, five USB ports, a webcam, and plenty of durability features, including a spill-resistant keyboard, shock-mounted hard drive, and a 3D accelerometer. If money is tight, however, the Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1001V offers a better keyboard, a less reflective display, and comparable performance.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T9500: Upper middle class laptop CPU for Santa Rosa based laptops (FSB 800). The T9550 offers only a slightly higher core clock, but features a 1066 FSB.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
