| The Bottom Line | 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. | The stylish Satellite A205 from Toshiba adds desirable extras such as draft 802.11n wireless connectivity and a DVD drive that burns artwork on your discs. | The only real knock against this chic-looking 14-inch multimedia laptop is its plastic body; other than that, this is a great midrange laptop with a unique, eye-catching design. | This one-time favorite is still an excellent go-to 13-inch laptop, if you don't need something quite as slim as an ultrabook, and you can get it for the right price. |
