Stylish new design; charges USB devices, even when off.

Glossy finish attracts fingerprints; way too much bloatware; Sleep-and-Charge feature is turned off by default.

Toshiba's new Satellites, including the 14-inch M305, offer a reasonable mix of performance and price, but are weighed down by excessive out-of-the-box advertising links.

Solid build, lots of ports, and good audio., Pro: Solid build, lots of ports, and good audio
