Toshiba Satellite E105

Toshiba Satellite E105, a 14.1-inch laptop, costs just $1,099 and yet offers a full selection of features, a two-year warranty, and 4 hours of battery life. The biggest concern with the Satellite E105 is that it is for casual gamers only. The laptop's integrated graphics are sufficient for basic computing. However, they are not sufficient for even basic 3D games. Technical specifications for the Satellite E105 are:

The Toshiba Satellite E105 has a subdued gray-and-copper color scheme and has somewhat rectangular design. This makes it looks like a box. Thus, the design of Toshiba Satellite E105 deviates from the usual tapered edges of pervious installations of Satellite. The Toshiba Satellite E105 is not similar in looks to the other Satellites. The only thing that is common with the Satellite E105 and the other satellites is the "Fusion" finish. In the Toshiba Satellite E105, pin stripes and narrow-lined curves blend into the lid, keyboard deck, and even the touch pad!

The Satellite E105 looks sturdy to feel. It seems ready to take the knocks and blows of everyday use. This might be attributed to the box-type shape of the Satellite E105. The satellite E105 is much lighter than the other 14 inch laptops that are available in the market that too when it has a standard eight cell battery. The Toshiba Satellite E105 weighs just 0.2 pounds more than the HP Pavilion dv3510nr, which has a smaller, 13.3-inch screen and a smaller, six-cell battery.

The resolution of the Satellite E105’s 14.1-inch wide-screen display is 1,280×800, a typical of all 14.1-inch wide-screen display. A few reflections are produced by its glossy finish. Nonetheless, it is a well balanced laptop for a home computer use. It provides a comfortable experience while surfing the Web or watching movies. The Satellite E105 also features a webcam and built-in microphone for video chats.

The Satellite E105 has a keyboard backlighting. This gives a plus point to the laptop as it can be used with comfort in dark environments. The touch pad is of proper size, but the mouse buttons are small. This is largely because of the fingerprint reader that is placed between the mouse buttons. To the right of the keyboard there is a row of LED light-touch buttons that provide easy access to basic media playback and volume controls.

The bottom line is that the 14.1-inch Toshiba Satellite E105 is a solid all-around laptop that delivers on longer battery life, lightweight design, and lengthy warranty.
