Product Summary
Toshiba Satellite U505-S2940 (Core 2 Duo P7350 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 400GB HDD, Vista Home Premium 64-Bit)
price range: $912.00 - $926.99
The stylish design and high-end feel of the Toshiba U505-S2940 don't make up for mediocre ergonomics and performance that can be had for less in other laptops.
