While the notebook is good for web surfing, office tasks, and movie viewing, we found the notebook to struggle with photo/video editing programs as well as multitasking. This is expected of course, given the unit's specifications, so users who want a more powerful notebook should look elsewhere. Battery life was within normal limits, with the L300 lasting 88 minutes before shutting down. The speakers can get loud but don't expect clear vocals and thumping bass.
Toshiba's L300 may not have as much power as other notebooks, but with a price tag of $949 (and $150 Cashback), it is quite understandable. Users with budget constraints should definitely check out this portable laptop.
