| Conclusion: |
|
| Toshiba’s Satellite line has traditionally been known more for its affordability than its style or features, but the U305 is a 13-inch thin-and-light that’s a refreshing change from that trend. The 2-hinge LCD design borrows from Sony’s playbook and looks slick on this laptop. This isn’t the smallest, lightest or most powerful notebook in this category, but it is one of the most affordable. If you want a relatively inexpensive notebook that puts an emphasis on portability, the U305 is a solid all-around choice. |
