Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite M505-S4020
Source: PC World
Take a standard, zippy laptop, slather on a thick layer of gloss--almost literally--and you've got the $999 Toshiba Satellite M505-S4020. This midrange portable smoothly handles Microsoft Office, online tools, media playback, and other general-purpose applications. Don't be fooled by the glossy features and finish. While it’s fast enough for typical business applications, this Satellite cuts corners.

If you thought spending $999.99 on a thin-and-light laptop meant having to make compromises, the Toshiba Satellite M505-S4020 might force you to re-evaluate your assumptions. One of the best-performing under-$1,000 laptops we’ve seen, this Satellite comes with loads of extras, including a touch screen and HDMI and eSATA ports.

Above all, this display size is used for subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles. For all three types, this size is quite large. The biggest variety of subnotebooks is represented with this size.
