Conclusion

The Toshiba L350 series notebook offers consumers an excellent budget desktop replacement notebook with a great deal of features for a low starting price of $749. As a mild refresh from the previous P200 series notebook the L350 gives you a slimmer and lighter body, as well as a smudge and scuff resistant matte paint finish.

Pros

  • Very quiet with great thermal management
  • Nice keyboard with excellent support
  • New matte paint finish doesn't scratch as easily as older gloss finish
  • No fingerprints visible anywhere on the finish when my review was completed

Cons

  • Only three USB ports and no firewire
