Toshiba Satellite T215D-S1140RD

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: Better-than-Netbook performance; solid keyboard; good selection of ports for its size.

The bad: Unimpressive battery life; for a nearly $500, may not offer the CPU horsepower one might expect.

The bottom line: An update to last year's T115, the Toshiba Satellite T215D-S1140RD performs like a slightly larger, faster Netbook with better specs and ports. It's definitely a step up, but it may not be enough computer for those with higher expectations.

You haven't headlined the manufacturers, but in the first two pages, the mfg is in the body. Who makes the 4 star machine on seq=3?
