Toshiba A305 satellite laptop
- 15.4 screen
-The Satellite A305-S6858 features a special edition of Toshibas "Fusion" finish, with exaggerated, almost cartoonish gray curves on a silver background and a modest Toshiba logo in the lower-right corner of the lid. The curves continue inside the case, slashing across the wrist rest and even across the touch pad, though the keyboard is a shiny solid black. The finish is almost mirrorlike, and even light handling will leave major fingerprints all over it.
Color scheme aside, the cases rounded corners resemble the HP Pavilion dv6985se, though the Toshiba has a slightly larger footprint. Like the HP, the special edition Satellite A305-S6858 incorporates a bulky extended battery that raises the back of the system an inch and contributes to its hefty 6.5-pound weight. The extra juice will come in handy when cranking out term papers, but you probably wont enjoy carrying the laptop to the library.
As with other Satellite A305 models, the Satellite A305-S6858s keys are made of very glossy plastic that fits the aesthetic but is so shiny as to be distracting. Fortunately, the keyboard is comfortable; with your eyes closed it feels like any other nearly full-size board. The touch pad is likewise roomy, though we were annoyed by the glowing white stripe across the top of the pad, which seems to be just decoration (we thought maybe it would change colors if the touch pad were disabled, but no dice). We took some consolation in the fact that it--along with other distractingly illuminated case elements, a Satellite logo in the bottom left-hand corner and a row of touch-sensitive media controls above the keyboard--can be turned off using Toshibas HWSetup utility.
The 15.4-inch wide-screen LCD display offers a 1,280x800 native resolution, which is standard for a screen this size. The displays glossy finish produces rich colors and contrast; we found it minimally distracting while surfing the Web and typing e-mail but quite enjoyable for movie watching. A 1.3-megapixel Webcam above the display lets users conduct video chats.
Like all new Satellite models, the Satellite A305-S6858 incorporates a feature called Sleep-and-Charge, which means you can plug in and charge USB devices (iPods, mobile phones, and so on) even if the laptop is powered off, as long as its plugged into an outlet. Most laptops provide power to USB ports only while theyre turned on. Note that this feature is turned off by default for no particularly good reason, and youll have to hunt to find how to turn it on, as its completely buried in a series of submenus
