The keys have a low resistance, so, typing does not require much force.

The characteristics of this keyboard are quite specific for Toshiba notebooks. All keys are in place and their size is favorable. Overall typing with this keyboard is comfortable. Including battery this notebook weighs just 2.86 kilogramme. Only at the optical drive this notebook does, alike many others, have a weak point in this aspect.Ĭompared to notebooks of the competition (Dell and HP), which have a more sophisticated design, the Toshiba S300 looks apparently considerably bulky and heavy. The hinges are sufficiently stiff and, so, they hold the display luffing-free in each position.Īlthough the case is made of plastic, it does in general neither give nor creak. Once the opening angle is adjusted, you can be sure, that the screen will not unintentionally move. On the left side the gap was inwards bigger and on the right side outwards. The second weakness can be found at the hinges, whose covers have uneven gaps. The battery is somewhat loose and could wobble in the one or other rare situation. However, the workmanship is not flawless. What we liked was the good workmanship of this Toshiba laptop and, so, we think, it is not exaggerated to call it 'PRO' in this aspect. However, given the small touchpad, this does not hold absolutely true. So, you could conclude, that practical purposes were considered more important than the look. Even the two hot-keys beside the power button are inconspicuously integrated into the silver surface. It is also a waste of time to look for ornaments. Obviously, it was not intended to delight the user with this minimalistic design. The front edges are smooth and allow a comfortable work. Despite of a generally angular case, ergonomics was apparently considered important by the designers. However, it is refreshing that shiny and easily stained surfaces are missing. So, this notebook looks, much to the delight of conservative users, a little bit old-fashioned. The design is rather angular without trendy curves or even high-gloss surfaces. Instead its appearance is very similar to the Tecra A10, but it comes with a glare-type screen instead of a matte one. The Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 does not really look like a notebook of the Satellite series.
