Toshiba Satellite M50 Review
The great people over at Pocket Lint have done up a review of the Toshiba Satellite M50 nottebook, a lightweight machine with a battery a little shorter than I would like to see out of this generations laptops. The M50 did end up earning a seven out of ten on the scale used by Pocket Lint.

Quite a lot in terms of performance, as you’ll find an Intel Pentium M 730 processor, which runs at 1.6GHz, coupled with an ample 60GB hard drive running at a 5400-rpm rotational speed. Rounded out with 512MB of DDR SDRAM, you’ll find plenty of power to get the job done. On the downside, such power isn’t exactly cutting-edge but we feel that it’ll suit the average family for the next couple of years easily.
With a weight of 2.4kg, this is a lightweight machine that can be easily carried around. With mobility comes the need for battery life and we managed to get more than 3 hours from the M50, which is about right for a machine at this price point. The build quality is good, so it’ll take the occasional knock and the keyboard is firmly mounted, so will take the damage of kids hitting it when doing homework. We were also impressed with how quietly the notebook ran, with the fan being hardly noticeable even when running more than two applications.
