It's been a long while since we've seen a Toshiba notebook in the TR labs, so we thought we'd correct this by getting in one of its latest range of Satellite Pro notebooks. Toshiba is still very much one of the larger players in notebooks and anyone that's looking for a portable computer at a reasonable price is likely to have a Toshiba on their shortlist.

Two things struck me straight away when examining the Satellite Pro A100 for the first time. Its size and finish clearly mark it out as a mid-priced notebook, but also that it had some interesting touches that mark it out from the generic-chassised notebook horde.

The notebook is on the large side and the grey plastic which curves down at the front is not that inspiring. However, the black speaker grilles above the keyboard are thin and wide, which looks good and are helped by the presence of a Harman/Kardon logo next to them. They sound pretty good too, with lots of detail and no distortion, though there’s no bass to speak of.
