Notebooks are becoming more affordable these days as companies churn out ?basic? models that deliver the bare minimum. Toshiba?s Satellite L300 is a no-fuss laptop designed for users who just use computers for Internet surfing, e-mailing, and word processing.

Simple is the word that encapsulates the L300. This silver and black notebook only comes with a PCMCIA/ExpressCard slot, three USB ports, Ethernet port, D-Sub out, RJ-11 (modem) jack, card reader, headphone and microphone jack, volume knob, and a Wi-Fi switch. Opening the lid reveals the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, power button, web camera, and a 15.4-inch screen with a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 800.

The unit that we got utilises a dual-core Intel Pentium processor running at 1.73GHz, has a gigabyte of RAM (expandable to 4GB), uses an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (128MB system video memory), and has 120GB storage space. Toshiba has installed Windows Vista Home Premium on the L300 and has included a number of programs to get things started.
