Toshiba Portege A605-P210 Notebook Reviewed
by Sze | Filed under Laptop
Toshiba Portege A605 series is a line ultra portable notebooks with a sleek silver aluminum enclosure. NotebookReviw has recently reviewed the Portege A605-P210, which is boosted by an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 ULV 1.4GHz processor, 3GB RAM, integrated Intel GMA4500 graphics and 320GB hard drive.
The laptop has a 12.1-inch display and integrated DVD burner.
NotebookReview’s conclusion:
The Toshiba Portege A605 offers good looks and a small form factor, but compromises build quality to achieve its very low weight. The palm rest, keyboard, and screen all exhibit a good amount of flex, which doesn’t bode well for thoughts of durability. Looking past the flexible chassis, the notebook does offer a built-in optical drive, and still keeps the overall weight to just above 3lbs. For a business traveler who only cares about that, this notebook falls right in the weight range of most netbooks. With the current list price of $1,399 it is priced against the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 or about double the price of an HP Pavilion dv2. Overall I think the Portege A605 offers a lot potential for a customer interested in a good looking business notebook, but it has a few areas that could see some improvement.
Pros:
- Weighs in at 3lbs, even with built-in optical drive
- Good battery life
- Cool operation
- Very small power adapter
Cons:
- Slow charging rate while the notebook is powered on and charging at the same time
- Flexible chassis
