The Toshiba Satellite Pro a200 is the entry level model for the pro series. But don't let this put you off. This laptop is ideal for those wanting to use a portable computer for the home or office environment.

The Pro a200 design is typical of Toshiba - high quality and eye catching. The casing is both solid and hard wearing and this sets off the bright, clear 15.4 inch super-TFT panel. The graphics capability of this laptop is limited due to the integrated chipset card - but this would be sufficient for day to day use such as accounts, web browsing and non-graphic applications.

As far a raw processing power goes - the pro a200 features not the latest duel-core but intel's budget chip - the Celeron M. This chip is best suited for non-intensive software applications. With an 80GB hard drive and shipping with the very latest Windows Vista Business this laptop offers great value for money.

The keyboard is both easy to use and of high quality giving the Toshiba Pro a200 a feel that you would expect from laptops or notebooks costing more than double the price. The keys are big, amply spaced and the applied pressure of the keys is comfortable.

The ports on the laptop are at the side - 2 USB ports either side and the impressive DVD rewriter is on the right and the built in devices include a wireless LAN aerial (IEEE 802.11b networking device) and stereo speakers.

The Toshiba Satellite Pro a200 is a good, solid all round laptop wich is suited best for non-graphic hungry applications. Build quality is everything you would expect from a Toshiba and more.
