Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1FO
Source: Techradar

Affordable, sturdy and reliable with great usability, but features are limited. Toshiba's Satellite Pro range targets home and business users. While the L300-2CH is a bulky device with a limited specification, its strong usability and vibrant screen compensate. At such a low price, the great usability and screen of the L300-2CH make it a good choice for first-time buyers. Its limited specification, features and awkward port placement make it a flawed machine, however, so tread carefully.

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.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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: Merom based entry-level Pentium Dual-Core processor with some reduced power saving functions compared to Core 2 Duo CPUs.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

66.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
