Laptopmag reviews the Toshiba A8-S8314, they rated the laptop 3/5 and write:
“At 6.2 pounds and about an inch thick, the A8-S8314 is well suited for performing office tasks or watching a DVD. The 15.4-inch widescreen LCD has good viewing angles between about 65 and 110 degrees. Within that range, the screen is crisp and sharp during multitasking and multimedia play…PROS: Durable design, Good multitasking performance, Easy-access Toshiba Assist button. CONS: USB ports are too close together, Strange secondary mouse button arrangement”
