You can read the full review in the original article but here I just briefly mention the benchmark.




The features look attractive, the writer of this article Kevin just could do one test on this laptop and it was wPrime (version 1.58) comparison. According to this test, the Puma-based Toshiba Satellite A305D performed a little slower than the older model A305D laptop!

Toshiba Satellite A305D (Turion Ultra ZM TL-80 @ 2.1GHz) scored 38.437s while Toshiba Satellite A305D (Turion X2 TL-64 @ 2.2GHz) scored 37.220s and Toshiba Satellite A305 (Core 2 Duo T8100 (Penryn) @ 2.1GHz) scored 36.442s. As you see the Penryn model of A305 has scored best. However, the distance is not a lot.


Well with only one test we can not judge this platform and we have to wait for other results and reviews.
