NO, it does not have a built-in microfone. Im using one right now and you need a external mic and plug it in from the front.
you cant.
Sorry, they are NOT compatible with each other(see the diference in the "D"), L305 Serieas are NOT the same as L305D Series, if you need recovery disk/s for your computer(including the Toshiba ones) just go to ezrestorepc.com
According to CNET, that specified computer doesn't have an SD card slot, but an ExpressCard slot. Not compatible with SD.
If you have wiped out Windows Vista and installed Windows XP, here are the drivers for you: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2180480&rpn=PSLB8U&modelFilter=L305-S5908&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663&selModel=2180480|PSLB8U
The power supply for a Toshiba Satellite L305 typically has a power rating of around 65-90 watts. It is recommended to use the specific power adapter that came with the laptop to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Just go to ezrestorepc.com for any System recovery disk including the Toshiba ones.
With a budget of $600 you actually have a lot of good options. Acer Aspire 3100, Asus eee, and Toshiba L305 head a lot of lists. If you're a gamer or want to do video editing, that will influence your choice. Toshiba, Dell and Compaq all make great laptop computers for under $600. Dell offers the Studio and the Inspiron in addition to netbooks, which you can get for as low as $200!
seems like this is a problem many people are having this week. this model laptop is currently on sale for $400 at wal-mart (where i think it is exclusively available). however, the toshiba website has no information about it and many customers have nothing more to go on than the box it came in. i don't own one, but am looking into buying one (if there are any left) depending on the reviews i find (0 so far, other than people who have had it for a day or two). other than listing off the specs (160gb hard drive, 2gb memory, etc) i cant give anything but an opinion. if youre looking for something to do basic computer functions, this should be more than fine. gaming or entertainment, i have no idea, but give it a try. only downside is that it comes loaded with windows vista (from what ive heard) and this may be a problem with only 2gb of memory. however, you might be able to upgrade to more memory, either through wal-mart or buy separately and install/have installed. it seems many people are buying this for an inexpensive laptop Christmas present, in which case, im sure it would be appreciated. never look a gift horse in the mouth. seems like this is a problem many people are having this week. this model laptop is currently on sale for $400 at wal-mart (where i think it is exclusively available). however, the toshiba website has no information about it and many customers have nothing more to go on than the box it came in. i don't own one, but am looking into buying one (if there are any left) depending on the reviews i find (0 so far, other than people who have had it for a day or two). other than listing off the specs (160gb hard drive, 2gb memory, etc) i cant give anything but an opinion. if youre looking for something to do basic computer functions, this should be more than fine. gaming or entertainment, i have no idea, but give it a try. only downside is that it comes loaded with windows vista (from what ive heard) and this may be a problem with only 2gb of memory. however, you might be able to upgrade to more memory, either through wal-mart or buy separately and install/have installed. it seems many people are buying this for an inexpensive laptop Christmas present, in which case, im sure it would be appreciated. never look a gift horse in the mouth. I have found the web site that has all the information you need. Used Google search engine with "Toshiba Satellite L305-S5915 Laptop Specs OR manual". Then "Click" on the web link under the title "Model Content Page"! It has the specifications, the user guide (downloadable zip file), downloadable drivers and software for the Toshiba Satellite L305-S5915 Laptop and others too!
