10/9/06 – Toshiba's Satellite M series notebooks are designed for multimedia and the M115-S3094 is a low cost system with media specific features. The most notable of these is the ability for the system to be used for DVD or CD playback without requiring the OS to be running. About the only really multimedia feature missing is a TV tuner.
Powering the M115-S3094 is the Intel Core Duo T2050 processor. While this is one of the lowest dual core models currently available, it still is a step up from the older single core Pentium M processors. It comes with 512MB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory which is standard for a budget oriented system but won't run as smoothly as one with a full gigabyte.
Storage is also fairly average for a budget notebook system. The 80GB hard drive provides plenty of space for most users needs although don't expect to put too many digital video files or else you might fill it up quickly. A dual layer DVD burner is also available for playback or recording or music, movie or data CDs and DVDs.
While most companies are moving to the larger 15.4” wide screen LCDs, Toshiba uses a smaller 14.1” screen. This provides plenty of space for viewing without making the system to large. It also uses a TruBrite screen for better video playback.
Probably the best thing about the Satellite M115-S3094 though is the price. The price is quite reasonable for the amount of features provided.
