Toshiba Satellite M305-S4826

Product summary

The good: Stylish new design; charges USB devices, even when off.

The bad: Glossy finish attracts fingerprints; way too much bloatware; Sleep-and-Charge feature is turned off by default.

The bottom line: Toshiba's new Satellites, including the 14-inch M305, offer a reasonable mix of performance and price, but are weighed down by excessive out-of-the-box advertising links.

Specifications: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.1 GHz); RAM installed: 3 GB DDR2 SDRAM; Weight: 5.3 lbs

In Hp/Compaq laptop E:g Presario V3000, the built in sound system is Altec Lansing. For your information Harman Kardon is the most good quality in audio system, Brabus/Mercedes also built in with Harman Kardon.

SMC EZ Switch 10/100/1000 (SMCGS8P-Smart)

"Solid" and "dependable" are the first words that come to mind when I think of the SMC EZ Switch 10/100/1000 (SMCGS8P-Smart), but not necessarily "cheap." The eight-port switch lists for $299.99, which comes to about $37.50 a port. While that's on the high end, it beats 3Com's OfficeConnect Gigabit POE Switch, which lists for $495for ten ports ($49.50 per port). And consider this: With the SMC, you get a smorgasbord of enterprise features, such as Layer-2 management, eight 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, seven of which are PoE- (power over Ethernet) capable ports, and one Gigabit Ethernet port that is shared with an SFP (small-form-factor-pluggable) slot, all packed into one switch. This makes the SMCGS8P-Smart a great candidate for your small business's main backbone switch.

p/s: Yea.... this is for small businesses not for home use...
