Where the Toshiba Satellite P505-S8980 was able to put some distance between itself and its competition was with battery life, but not in a good way. The laptop ran for a pathetic 64 minutes on our demanding video playback battery drain test. With their large displays, desktop replacements never offer stellar battery life, but the 17.3-inch HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx ran for 2 hours 54 minutes, and the 17.3-inch Dell Inspiron 1745-3691 lasted 3 hours 15 minutes.
Toshiba backs the Satellite P505-S8980 with an industry-standard, one-year warranty. Support is accessible 24-7 via a toll-free phone line, an online knowledge base, and a Web site with driver downloads.
