25 November 2008 829 views No Comment

Why do we write for women? Because of that we review this time is the Toshiba Portege M300 notebook which has Pink covers, the “girl’s” color.

same with previous generation, Portege M300 notebook is designed for your mobile. This can be seen from the size of the screen 13.3″ and weight about 2kg; comfortable enough to take a trip. However, compared with other notebook 13″ (such as the Macbook Air or Lenovo X300), the M300 thickness reached 4 cm feels too thick.

Perhaps because they intended to travel a lot, this notebook is equipped with fingerprint scanner facilities for security reasons. 150GB hard drive is also equipped with technology that reduces shakes in the data remains protected when the notebook is dropped. Other facilities available are Wi-Fi Draft-N, Bluetooth, 1.3 MP webcam, and DVD Multi format.

Behind the feminine appearence, Portege M300 possess strong enough components. Series PPM80L-02Y013 that our test is, for example, given the processor Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 (2.38 GHz), which assisted by 1GB DDR2-800 memory. Unfortunately for the graphic functions carried onboard Intel X3100 chip, so that less than maximum application to run gaming heavyweight. Even if the Macbook Air that use processors weaker, its 3D performance is still behind (see table of the test results).

At the top of the keyboard, notebook worth U.S. $ 1,399 provide control panel for multimedia. However, instead of using a key, the control panel is a touch sensor equipped with lights. This makes the operation of the panel is not disrupted even though we operate it in the darkness.

When we try to play the movie, one of the advantages we note is the quality of the speakers above the average. Using the speaker harman / kardon, its voice sounded clear and crispy, although with minimal bass boom. the screen also has good quality, although the viewing angle, it looks rather limited.

Show style; it may be magic words in the Toshiba at this time. Fusion Finish rely on technology, the latest range of Toshiba notebook looks interesting and exclusive attention. This seems in the Portege M300, which uses the pink color. Selection of color may make this limited to womanhood, but the white color is available if you want to appear more low-profile.

Performance and facilities offered Portege M300 is good and suitable for career women who want a notebook that comfortable to travel.

PROS: beautiful style; good performance; clear voice.
CONS : It feels thick; 3D less than maximum performance; dirty easily.
