\"ToshibaThe definition of this budget laptop from Toshiba from the review written by Laptop Magazine<\/a> seems pretty fair: “A widescreen machine made for tight budgets”.<\/p>\n

“As a budget laptop, the Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163 laptop tries to give you the most bang for your buck. The bang ends up sounding more like a whimper; the processor and the 4,200-rpm 60GB hard drive aren\u2019t particularly fast. This notebook from Toshiba meets its goal of offering decent productivity performance, a good-looking widescreen display, and all of the ports you\u2019ll need for less than a grand. Its oversized body and inexplicably short battery life won\u2019t cut it for users looking for practical portability. <\/p>\n

Without question, the best feature of the Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163 notebook is the cost. Every component from the processor to the hard drive has been scaled down a notch to shave a little something extra off the sticker price. Despite the scrimping, the Toshiba M35X Satellite covers all of the basic functions: a bright 15.4-inch display, integrated 802.11b\/g Wi-Fi, a DVD\/CD-RW drive, three USB 2.0 ports, and FireWire-everything you need to cover most everyday functions.”<\/p>\n

Toshiba Satellite M35X – S163 <\/a>receives 4.2 points (“Mediocre” rating) in a review from CNET Reviews:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The inexpensive Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163 laptop, a mainstream or value laptop through and through, is designed for students and home users on a budget who need only the basics. Its large but rather lightweight case affords it some benefits, such as a big wide-screen display and dedicated buttons for CD and DVD playback. Handcuffed to a low-speed Celeron processor, however, the $999 Satellite M35X-S163 system from Toshiba comes up short on performance, and its weak battery life will limit your productivity on the go.<\/p>\n

The Satellite M35X-S163’s measurements place it somewhere between a thin-and-light and a desktop replacement. The laptop runs 14.4 inches wide, 10.8 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick and weighs just more than 6 pounds. The compact but heavy AC adapter adds an additional 0.8 pound.<\/p>\n

The conclusion of this Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163 review:
\n“Despite a big display and a nice array of ports and connections, the Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163’s poor battery life and subpar performance render it suitable only for very basic home use.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
