Toshiba Satellite U305 Thin and Light Notebook

Posted on Jan 7, 08 08:00 AM PDT

[CES 2008] The Toshiba Satellite U305 offers a good compromise between (relative) performance and price. It has a weight and feature set that would make it comparable with variants of the Sony Vaio SZ. However, the Satellite U305 sells for a much lower price (about $500 less for a comparable configuration). The Vaio SZ still has two advantages: it looks better and it has a better graphics processor. Now, is it worth $500 to you? At least, that makes me think a lot harder.
