Toshiba Satellite A215 is a AMD CPU powered notebook PC. It is powered by an AMD Turion64 X2 TL-56 1.8GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive and Mobility Radeon X1200 graphics.

The notebook has been reviewed by Notebook Review and here are the comments:
There’s definitely some pluses and minuses to the A215. The pluses would include the nice glossy screen, good keyboard, and pleasant sound. The minuses would be the slow hard drive, and the stiff and clicky touchpad buttons. If you are just looking for a basic at home notebook to do web browsing, office applications, maybe some movies and music, the A215 can fill that role with aplomb. Like most things in life, it all boils down to value. If you are paying close to M.S.R.P., you probably have better choices. If you can find a decent deal like the A215-S4697 I spied at Circuit City for $600 (It has the Turion64 X2 TL-52 and 1GB of memory, but more importantly has a 160GB 5400RPM drive), the A215 offers a lot of value.
