Toshiba Satellite M45-S355 Notebook PC (Intel Pentium M Processor 750, (Centrino), 1024 MB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Dbl Layer Driver) review:
4 stars (impressive specs for the price) - This machine had some problems with freeze-ups when it was first introduced earlier this year, but it appears that Toshiba has finally worked out most of those issues. in addition, the new 100gb 5400rpm hard drive is impressive!



Pros:

- Attractive design - thinner and more eye-pleasing than M35/M35X predecessor

- Exceptional sound from built-in speakers, though deeper bass is lacking

- Quiet keyboard with easy-to-depress keys, though see issues below

- TruBrite display produced excellent images

- Touchpad is smooth and has good tactile feel

- Sonoma platform with 533MHz FSB

- Solid WiFi performance

- Wide array of connectivity options: 3 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, SD/MMC/xD/MS/MS Pro Media Card slot

- Very quiet and cool to the touch - fan came on rarely and made a pleasant sound when running

- Toshiba power management and system management software: Touch and Launch, Acoustic Silencer, graphical WiFi utility

- S-Video (TV Out) for connection to projectors and TVs



Cons:

- TruBrite display exhibits lots of glare, though this is common on nearly all glossy LCD's

- Lacks DVI output and Express Card

- Display exhibits too much flex and seems fragile

- Poor 3D performance due to integrated graphics and shared memory

- Below Average Battery life

- Slower 333MHz DDR memory rather than newer 533MHz DDR2 memory, though lower latency (CL 2.5) generally compensates for slower speed

- Keyboard seems slightly cramped and is shifted to the right rather than centered; dedicated WindowsÂ# key is inconveniently located in upper-right area of keyboard

- Relatively low-resolution 1280 x 800 display (98 PPI), though TruBrite has good color & contrast
