Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Pro R50-B-112

60% Toshiba Satellite Pro R50
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
This no-nonsense business system doesn’t excel in any one area. The keyboard and trackpad are good, build quality is reasonable and its performance is average. This machine is capable of handling basic work tasks, and its sturdy design means it’ll be at home in the office or on the road. Dell’s system is lighter, with better ergonomics and battery life, and isn’t much more expens.
