The Bottom Line	The Toshiba Satellite A205-S6808's greatest feature is its rock-bottom price--not exciting, but certainly adequate for home and student use.	Lenovo's entry into the consumer laptop market with the 15-inch IdeaPad Y510 provides ThinkPad-like quality but the design still comes off as a little buttoned-up.	A standout among budget midsize laptops, the 14.1-inch Gateway T-6836 marries strong performance and battery life with a compact, well-designed case.	The Toshiba Satellite A305-S6858 is a very good mainstream machine, but we prefer one of its competitors.	Toshiba adds faster Draft N Wi-Fi to this attractive if otherwise fairly conventional laptop. Just be sure you've got an 802.11n router to go along with it.
