Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-12S (PSL43E00K00NEN) PC Notebook

If your budget is limited, or you're just looking for a second PC for light use, the Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-12S could be just the ticket. I was looking for a computer to use for browsing the net and watching DVDs while away from home. By doing a little research I decided to go for the Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-12S as it came with Vista and was made by Toshiba. The laptop design is robust and can take the knocks of everyday use. The screen is bright and did not have any dead pixels which indicates good quality control from Toshiba.

Luxuries such as built-in HSDPA may be out of reach in this price category, but you still benefit from useful extras such as built-in Wi-Fi and an internal DVD writer.

Bottom line robust laptop for the day to day use!
