The Satellite M45's price, performance, and component strengths don't eclipse its fatal flaw--deplorable battery life.

The Toshiba Satellite M45 series, which isn't customizable, offers the same elegant case design as the Satellite M40 series. The Satellite M40's configurable components include Celeron M and Pentium M processors; between 256MB and 2GB of slow 333MHz SDRAM; moderate 5,400rpm hard drives in capacities ranging from 40GB to 100GB; several secondary optical storage drives, such as CD and double-layer DVD burners; a wide 15.4-inch display in different native resolutions; and various types of Wi-Fi cards. Preconfigured combinations of these components comprise the Satellite M45 series, which Toshiba sells through online resellers and local computer stores. We tested the Satellite M45-S165, which costs $1,049 (as of July 2005), a very reasonable amount in light of its overall healthy configuration. While the system has respectable features and an economical price, it suffers from abysmal battery life. Find out more in our full review of the Toshiba Satellite M45-S165.

    Summary: In addition to being a fine wide-screen notebook, the Satellite M45-S351 makes a good stand-alone CD and DVD player on the side.

    Summary: Performance isn't a selling point for the Toshiba Satellite M45-S165. The value price and multimedia features, like the 15.4-inch widescreen and 80GB hard drive, will be the alluring factors.
