This thorough, testing-based report finds lots of positives with the Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8900S. The use of an AMD processor is noted, but not cited as a significant negative for anything except serious gaming. Of greater concern is the short battery life and excessive amount of pre-loaded free trial software ("bloatware"). However, that's all trumped by a rich lineup of features, great display, powerful speakers and more, and the magazine names the laptop an Editors' Choice.
