So, anyone that knows me pretty well will be aware that I am a huge Lenovo fan. When it comes to laptops, desktops, and workstations, they just make a great product that is very reliable and cost-effective.
Many of our clients have learned the benefits of switching over to the Lenovo products as well and have always come back for more units.
I have to admit though, that I was always a Toshiba fan as well, but was not as thrilled with some of their latest units that were in the cost-effective range as I didn't feel they were coming equipped enough to drive the latest software on the market. So, I picked up a new Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 as a trial and definetely have some good reviews to provide on it.
The machine is extremely affordable between $480-$600.00 depending on the exact configuration you choose. I picked up the machine that was in the $500.00 range, Intel Dual Core 2.0, 15.4" LCD, 1GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, DVDRW, Wifi. The machine came with Windows Vista Home Edition which is a quick nono.. Downgraded the machine to Windows XP professional and upgraded the ram from 1GB to 4GB. First of all, there are not as many Dual Core laptops on the market that can take 4GB Ram, so I was already impressed at that fact, which was one of my reasons for picking the machine up. Additionally, for the internal video card being an Intel card, the memory is shared with the system allowing it to be pushed up to 1GB RAM for the internal video card. That in my mind, for a machine in this price range, is amazing!
Have put it to the test with all the usage and applications that I utilize and have been very impressed. I highly recommend this low-cost Toshiba to anyone looking to pick up a nice machine at a considerable price. Not to mention that it also comes with a 2 year standard warranty.
I would compare this machine to the Lenovo 3000 N500. Both are awesome machines and within the same price range ($480 - $600.00), again, based on the configurations you choose. I can't see anyone going wrong with either machine and would love to help you choose the next laptop that is right for you!
Give us a call if you have any questions or are in between which laptop to choose.
Don't always go for the machine that is more money, you can achieve great results and save money these days.
