Around 18 short months ago, I found myself needing a new laptop, due to an unfortunate accident which rendered my previous model unusable.

As a university student at the time, I had a tight budget. However, there were a few characteristics which I was not prepared to compromise when considering which model to purchase. These were durability, style and battery life.

After looking at many many different laptops, I decided to purchase the Toshiba Satellite L40.

I can honestly say that I have not looked back since. My decision was a right one, as for less than £400, this laptop is very durable (as proven after dropping it from the couch!), rather handsome, and a relatively long battery life (after a full charge, it will last for approximately 2 hours).

I would recommend this model of laptop for consumers who are looking for all the specifications and performance of a high-end, expensive laptop for a very reasonable price. I still have the same laptop to this very day!

Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you find the right laptop for you.
