Just because everyone else do not mean it is the right choice for you. Someone heard her mother, and this time someone Toshiba, Intel Atom CPU, contrary to the trend and the choice of an AMD processor for its 11.6-inch screened T215D-S1140. We think that a good reputation, especially considering its low price $ 469. This netbook is not perfect (in particular, we would love to see a longer battery life), but in general, and expressed in a non-netbook processor into what otherwise receive a Netbook a good way to outstanding performance without giving, is to portability or a lot of money.

The T215D-S1140 comes in red, white and black. We tested the black model. The lid has a wavy cross-hatch design and easily attracts fingerprints. Inside the area around the keyboard is glossy black, with the splendor of the newly machined industrial parts. The pattern here is an original way a plaid-meets-dog-tooth. We found it a little busy.

Definitely a step up from your average netbook, the Satellite T215D-S1140 is what you buy, if you want the light weight is a netbook, but you do not feel that you had settled for a close and underpowered machine. On 0.7×11.2×8.2 customs, the T215D-S1140 the size of a standard notebook, but is light enough for easy transport at 3.3 kilograms. The screen measures 11.6 inches diagonally and widescreen proportions (a 16-to-9 format). The native resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels and the LCD screen with LED backlight. The picture was clear and bright, though not as good as any other notebook. A 0.3-megapixel Webcam sits above the screen. In our tests, saw the colors on the webcam image, no matter washed as we adjusted the picture.

The keyboard and touchpad are both full size and we give them good marks. The keyboard uses the raised island (or Chiclet) design popular in smaller notebooks. Unlike the similar keyboard on the Samsung N150 Plus, we found this very comfortable. The buttons are rounded and soft, and they have a nice give them. Typing feels effortless and satisfying.

Port selection was a pleasant surprise. The left side has the power port, an eSATA/USB port (to power a portable device, even if the laptop is asleep), a memory card slot (supports SD, SDHC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard and formats ) and rarely for a netbook-HDMI connector. The last point you leave it to your living room TV if you want to enjoy your videos on a larger screen. The right side includes microphone and headphone port, two USB ports, a VGA monitor port, an Ethernet port and a slot for-all are typical dishes for a netbook. There are no ports or connectors on the front or back, so that the T215D-S1140 an elegant look. The six-cell battery provides the netbook a bit more strength in the back, but also provides a comfortable angle for typing. Although there is no integrated optical drive, Toshiba will sell you an external for $ 69.

Besides the screen and keyboard to the bottom step in the price with T215D-S1140 is the processor. Instead of finding the Intel Atom chip in most Netbooks, it runs on a 1.7GHz AMD Athlon peppi Neo K125. The chipset that the processor supports the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 graphics card installed, and you also get 2GB of DDR3 RAM. All this pays off in benchmark results, which are often well above the average.

On our PCMark Vantage benchmark, the overall system performance measures, this machine deserves a value of 1,918. Compare the merits of the 1310 of the Asus Eee PC 1201pn, one of our favorite netbooks, which lists for $ 30 more ($ 499).

To test the CPU specifically, we run the three tests, the satellite and held the lead in all of them. It ended the iTunes test, where we convert 11 MP3 files to AAC, in 7 minutes and 31 seconds. The 1201pn took double the time (18.31 clock). The gateway LT3201u, also an AMD processor and lists for $ 450, takes 13 minutes and 38 seconds. On our Windows Media Encoder test converts the T215D-S1140 our standard test video file in 18 minutes and 55 seconds. Compare that with the Asus Eee PC 27:01 1201pn pokey and the gateway machine slightly faster 17:56. On our Cinebench 10 test, all the available CPU cores of the taxes that redeemed T215D-S1140 with a score of 1,725. The 1201pn managed only 857 here, and the Gateway 1242.

Multitasking is the only place where we have a genuine performance hiccups, but we do not want it to be a serious problem. We ran a full system scan with Windows Defender during re-running our Windows Media Encoder test, and it all seemed too much for the T215D-S1140. Windows Media Encoder seemed to freeze several times during the test and start running again would be installed after a few minutes. It is no surprise then that the terrible time multitasking Satellite (45:21) was. The Asus Eee PC 1201pn for example, took 32:31. Just to make sure that the satellite glitch does not have a serious, comprehensive multi-tasking, we played a large MOV file, songs played in iTunes and Windows Defender all running at the same time. Everything worked well. We can not say why the Windows Media Encoder test jammed up repeatedly during our multitasking scenario, but it seemed an isolated event.

For a Netbook, all the CPU scores very well, and it’s fair to say that a significant improvement over the average netbook. They are still far from competing, but from the rental of this machine with a real ultra-portable laptops. They reaffirm our Netbook classification for the CPU performance (ie, slow as a rule), but when you put on a netbook is the AMD processor this is definitely an advantage over the typical Intel Atom CPUs.

AMD is almost always a safe bet when it comes to improve graphics performance, and we were not disappointed in this regard here. For running our 3DMark06 test at a resolution of 1,024 x 768, earned a score of Toshiba Machine 1237. The Asus Eee PC 1201pn did much better with a score of 1948 (but it has a second-generation ion Nvidia graphics processor), but the Gateway LT3201u (with the same Intel graphics) a hair fared worse 1216th Many netbooks around 150 on this test, so these are all good marks, but they will still make for a limited game experience. It should be possible to run some older 3D games with the eye-candy settings turned way down or off to draw, but the last DirectX 10 clear (or DirectX 11) title.

Perhaps more importantly, considering the size of this machine, able to deal with video playback better than the average netbook. When streaming video from multiple sites during the test, we were always satisfied with the results. The picture looked crisp and clear. The speakers output is pretty weak, but that fix some external speakers if you to view online video plan. If you are looking for a handy multimedia machine, maybe let the kids use Netflix while you sit with the main computer or to store and show home movies, there is a strong performer. The HDMI connection will come in handy for home theater enthusiasts.

As mentioned above, the Satellite T215D-S1140 six-cell battery, and we expect much more from him than the 2 hours and 36 minutes we got to our demanding battery-rundown test. (The test includes streaming full-screen video wirelessly, until the battery runs out.) The Asus Eee PC 1201pn took 3.17 on the test, while the Gateway LT320 did even better, enduring for 04.09. Despite the strong performance satellite values, think hard if you spend a lot of time between sockets.

When it comes to software collections, Toshiba could have done a little more lift to the satellite. It’s the usual collection of Toshiba applications received, with the most prominent being ReelTime Toshiba and Toshiba Bulletin Board. Both are firmly fixed on the task bar. ReelTime is useful if you need to return to a previous version of a document, it has a visual list, jump so you can easily return. Toshiba Bulletin Board is a virtual kitchen cork board, where can publish the user or the family photos and notes. It’s a nice idea, but we have trouble imagining anyone actually use.

You also get a trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, but it is a 60-day trial version limited to 25 uses before it freezes the user. (Okay, that Microsoft Works is here to get the loose as well.) Since students are an important market for this netbook, we would have liked to have seen more music or multimedia applications included.

The satellite is equipped with an industry-standard one-year warranty, which gets you a year worth of parts and labor and a year of battery life. Toshiba also offers 24/7 toll-free telephone support and online support via the Web site also pretty standard for the industry. The site also offers software drivers and answers to common questions on the well, but nothing too extensive.

While you’ll pay a little more this Toshiba Satellite, have you more than make up for it in fast processing and comfortable typing. If the life of the battery will fail to know your needs, this is a strong contender for those seeking a netbook. Considering how many people are disappointed at the end netbooks in their slow speed makes the Neo-driven power a convincing argument for a netbook is in AMD.

Decided to buy a laptop for office? Looking for good performance, but don’t want to spend much money? There is a good chance you’ve found it!

Compact enough for transportation, but not as small as netbook and not as pricey as business class laptops of 12-13 inches, this laptop is a good combination of price and performance packed into a suitable size. So, let’s take a more detailed look at its performance characteristics and features.

The 14-inch display with the 1366 х 768 resolution is perfect for web browsing, using office applications and HD video watching.

The device features a good, full-fledged keyboard that is comfortable even if it’s used for a longer time; multi-touch touchpad makes it easier to use laptop while on the road and your mouse cannot be connected. Touchpad buttons require a harder touch to activate them, but it’s quite an advantage when on the road. Besides, you can disable touchpad, this being a very useful feature, especially when working at home or at office with your mouse hooked up.

The overall performance of the laptop is very good. The new triple-core processor together with fast 4Gb DDR3 memory and a good discrete video card give a very good result. This configuration is good enough for working with many documents and applications. At the same time you can have many tabs open in your browser and still use main communication applications.

As to the video card, the laptop is fitted with the integrated discrete solution produced by the world-known company ATI (AMD).It gives more possibilities than Intel GMA4500, which is standard for this class of laptops. So now you can easily play games that are not so resource hungry, run applications that require full 3D support and viewing HD content video.

Though, many users mark that when running StarCraft II on this laptop it’s possible to select HIGH and even ULTRA quality in Game Options- this being a high water-mark for the given video card.

Let’s switch to the laptop communication devices. This laptop has a webcam and built in microphone, so IM communication in MSN, Skype and similar applications will not require any additional expenses and will be full-fledged. The webcam also has function of face recognition, so even if you lack fingerprint scanner you can easily login to your PC.

The card reader available allows working with basic flash cards, though it seems to be pretty much a standard feature these days.

There are 3 USB ports, this being a reasonable minimum. Moreover, one of the USB ports is a USB\eSATA combo, so you can easily use an external hard drive. This model of laptop comes with a wireless card of N standard. So, you can benefit from superfast connection up to 150 Mbps. I guess no need to talk about the double layer dvd writer, being a standard for today.

It shows a rather worthy result when running on battery power, and in certain cases offers better index than configurations on core i3 and core i5 processors.

Overall, this laptop is about good performance and rather low price. It’s a nice option these days, especially if you are expecting more than a laptop for your office for your money.

Measuring 17.4 x 11.6 x 1.6 inches and a weight of 8.6 pounds a juicy, the Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 is not a notebook designed for the cafeteria. However, this attractive unit look good sitting on a desktop or home entertainment center thanks to the Fusion Finish in Black Sonic Design. The system features an eye-catching glossy coating, which extends from the lid is also on the bezel, keyboard and base (the latter contains subtle arcs white lines that cut through the black).

The keyboard on the P505 is wide and spacious but the keys are missing a certain amount of tactile feedback that touch typists will enjoy. However, you have a full numeric keypad and nice big shift “keys. To the left of the keyboard is a touch-sensitive panel responsive media that easy for us to play, pause allowed to skip tracks and listening to music files.

South of the keyboard is a small 3.3 x 1.6-inch touchpad, which could have benefited from additional horizontal and vertical space. Its texture invites a little friction, but not enough to interfere with cursor movements. The large mouse buttons were easy to press, but some may find it too mushy.

Our DVD film displays rich blacks and vivid colors on the 18.4-inch display, the unusual resolution of 1680 x 945 pixel resolution Sport. Toshiba says this “+ HD” resolution is designed to show sharper than 720p, while the costs are kept low. Film fans may lament the lack of a Full HD display (a feature more expensive machines like the Sony VAIO R series has), but the image quality was excellent. While the picture kept out all but the most extreme angles, the screen came back shiny coating many reflections.

Twin Harmon Kardon speakers produce excellent sound when we fired some of James Brown tracks on Slacker. The Dolby-powered speakers separated high-and low-end sounds nice to know the opening sound of the landscape and allows us both the highs and lows to appreciate. The speakers also produce enough volume to fill a middle room, the P505-S8010 would make an excellent addition to your Media Center.

Under the hood is Intel’s new 2.13-GHz Core i3-330M processor. Although it does not have Intel’s Turbo Boost technology for dynamically increasing CPU clock speed when needed (which is reserved for Core and Core i7-i5 notebooks), the P505-S8010 showed very good performance in our benchmarks.

Combined with 4GB of RAM and a 5400 rpm, 500 GB hard drive, produced the P505 a solid PCMark Vantage score of 4997, a tally that more than 450 points higher than the average desktop replacement category. This score trailed the Acer Aspire 8940G (which also has a 18.4-inch screen, but a faster 1.6-GHz Intel Core i7 720QM GPU) of almost 1,000 points.

If we used the P505, a 114MB, 5-minute and 5 second video transcode with Oxelon Media Converter, it took 1 minute and 12 seconds (10 seconds longer than the average desktop replacement, 01.02). The hard drive copied a 4.97GB folder of mixed media at a rate of 22.8 MBps, which 4.7 Mbit s slower than the average of 27.5 MBps and even further behind the Sony VAIO F Series ’29, 2 MBps. The long 1 minute and 18 seconds boot time in Windows 7 Home Premium category average exceeds 1:06.

The P505 battery lasted only 1 hour and 54 minutes while browsing the Internet via Wi-Fi, which is about 30 minutes shorter than the desktop replacement category average of 2.28. Because of this 18.4-inch machine is not intended to be left unplugged for very long, it should not be a stamina problem.

The 802.11b/g/n Radio SAW data throughput of 24.6 Mbps and 16.7 Mbps at 15 and 50 feet, respectively. Both values are below the average for the category Desktop Replacement of 19.9 Mbps and 16.6 Mbps.

You will receive a 30-day trial of Norton Internet Security 2010, 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Corel DVD Movie Factory, Intuit QuickBooks Financial Center and Skype. Toshiba also a number of its own utilities, including bulletin board face, media controllers and REELTIME.

It is not a gaming powerhouse by any stretch, but the search for a rock solid multimedia machine with powerful speakers are at an affordable price to enjoy the $ 949 Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010. In short, eager buyer of a large-screen notebook that will not break the break will find plenty to like.

Toshiba claims that its new Satellite M645 series offers 14-inch laptops, “the all-Performance” and “perfect for mobile multimedia.” We are not able to speak for the entire line, starting at $ 729.99, but the $ 1,049.99 Toshiba Satellite M645-S4055 considered by us meets Toshiba’s bold assertions. The laptop offers excellent performance for its price and class, and provides a number of multimedia-specific features, especially a series of impressive-sounding stereo speakers.

The laptop the whole chassis is coated in durable, black plastic, the lid and keyboard deck have a textured surface, with a design made little rectangles together. With 5.1 kilograms of M645-S4055 on average weight for a 14-inch laptop, as its 1.5×13.3×9.0-inch dimensions. The backlight provides a useful chiclet keyboard typing in the dark for those supporting and adding to the laptop overall stylish design. The keys are on the small side, but we had no problems with that as you type. The keyboard flexed a bit too much for our taste, but. Below the keyboard is a gesture-enabled touchpad for pinch zooming, scrolling, and other multi-touch tasks, although most of the gestures work only with software support, such as the included Toshiba Bulletin Board application. Our fingers glide easily over the touchpad, making it easy to use. The two dedicated mouse buttons, both of which emit a pleasant clicking sound when you press was to serve also easy.

Above the keyboard is a strip of touch-sensitive buttons for Play/Pause and volume, the switch for 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, backlit keyboard and power-saving Eco Toshiba Utility. The eco utility to help you save power and provide a visual representation of the unit of power consumption, so that the environmentally conscious can really get a feel for the M645-S4055′s carbon footprint.

Straddling the sides of the touch keys is a pair of Harmon Kardon speakers, the well with the Advanced Audio Dolby Sound System. The scope and quality of the audio-pumps from these tiny speakers really amazing and very dramatically better than what you see emanating from most other laptops. We played back a large selection of audio tracks and a few movies, and the sound quality was always rich and clear, with just a hint of distortion on a few tracks when the volume was linked to the highest setting. Speaking of movies, the screen is a capable display for catching up on your Netflix queue, but it is not quite as bright as we have seen on other laptops. The gloss tend to throw back unwanted reflections. If you plan to use the M645-S4055 for movies, we recommend it in a dark or dimly lit room.

Around the left side of the M645-S4055 two USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet jack and the slot-loading 8x DVD RW drive are. Here we have a break, because Toshiba is one of the few companies that has recognized a slot-loading drive, like a real differentiator, and we have to agree. Normally, this feature only on Apple notebooks and high-end PCs and found only rarely on a $ 1,049 all-purpose notebook. At the front edge of the device you will find an eight-format card reader. One 34mm Express Card slot is on the right side, as well as microphone and headphone jacks, HDMI and VGA out connections, and a combination eSATA/USB 2.0 port.

The combo eSATA/USB port also supports sleep-and-Charge technology, to use, to enable the port many different types of USB devices for free, while the device is idle or turned off, and even when the notebook running on battery power. This is another differentiating details include Toshiba. Anyone who travels knows the value of being able to quickly put a device in your laptop in the night without waking up your PC. You to the shops (there are usually to save a few people in a hotel room) and time. The port was in a position to every device we tried, including an iPhone 3G for free.

The M645-S4055 also supports a more unique (and new) technology called Sleep-and-Music. This allows you to plug an audio device in your laptop audio line-in jack used to the system speaker when the laptop is idle or turned off, this is an impressive achievement. It can even play music when the laptop is not plugged in, but careful with this. This is a good way to drain the battery absent. The M645-S4055 also comes with Bluetooth for connecting to Bluetooth headsets, mice and other peripherals.

While we’re on the topic of the technologies that the M645-S4055 are included, it also uses Nvidia’s Optimus technology, the laptop can automatically switch between the integrated Intel GMA 330M HD graphics engine and its discrete GeForce GT graphics card, depending on the needs of the application in use. If the system determines that a specific application requires the extra power of the GT-330M as a 3D game system will use less power-hungry Intel integrated graphics. If an app is running, that can really speed up the graphics capabilities of the GT330M, the M645-S4055 benefit dynamically switches the discrete GPU. The primary purpose of this technology is to protect the battery by the more powerful discrete GPU drainage only when absolutely necessary.

Furthermore, as the M645-S4055 discharged to our demanding test battery, which plays a DVD movie laptop was taken, it took three hours and three minutes. This is considerably shy of the average time of 03.39 clock we’ve seen from thin and light laptops this year. 3:03 The test result has been disabled for Window’s Balanced Power Plan and with the eco Toshiba Utility. We ran the test again, this time with the eco-enabled utility and won only two more minutes of battery life.

disappoint with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5-450M-processor and 4 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM, the M645-S4055 not with their application performance. The laptop took 3 minutes and 58 seconds to finish our Windows Media Encoder test and 3:15 run our iTunes test, both scores are quite close to the 04.08 clock and 3:09, respectively, that with the Lenovo IdeaPad saw Y460. (The IdeaPad Y460 features a 2.4 GHz Core i5-520M, which shares many of the same attributes as the core i5-450M, but has a slightly faster maximum speed turbo). This similar level of performance to be carried on our 64-bit Cinebench 10 test measures, mainly the CPU capacity of a system. Here gathered the M645-S4055 has a value of 8348, and the IdeaPad Y460 produces a value of 8266. Needless to say, these two systems produces some of the fastest performance we’ve seen from thin and light notebooks. That is, the core i5-520M-based HP Pavilion dm4t was also in the same performance ballpark (for example, it was a result of on Cinebench 8190), and its $ 904.99 price tag is almost $ 150 less than the M645 IdeaPad Y460 and-S4055. But the pavilion dm4t lacks a discrete GPU as the other two systems have.

Strictly speaking, the M645-S4055 is not a gaming laptop, but with the GT 330M GPU, the M645-S4055 has some decent games chops. We saw an average frame rate of 75.9 frames per second (fps) on our Company of Heroes DX9 test at a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels and with the help of the game automatic quality setting. In the M645-S4055′s native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels and with the help of the game quality settings, we were given a still impressive frame rate of 53.7fps. The only other 14-inch laptop we’ve seen recently that was a real gaming performance to speak was the $ 1,049 Lenovo IdeaPad Y460, which has an ATI Radeon HD 5650 GPU and dished out 100.5fps to Company of Heroes for 1366 x 768 and 74.8fps at 1,024 x 768 pixels.

When you first boot into Windows on the M645-S4055, you will be greeted by a clean desktop, the only icon that you see is the trash-a refreshing sight. Once you discover what start installed on the 500 GB hard drive, here are some bloatware, but nothing as bad as we are often on HP systems, dm4t such as the pavilion.

Like so many other laptops, the M645-S4055 comes with Microsoft Works, limited a 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office, a 30-day trial of Norton Internet Security, as well as an industry standard one year parts and labor market warranty. The laptop also comes with a number of brands Toshiba apps, including a bulletin-board application and face-recognition security software.

There is very little about the Toshiba Satellite M645-S4055 on its reflective screen, keyboard and muddy two things to be subjective Users do not like. What is not subjective is the M645-S4055′s outstanding application and 3D gaming performance, and the bonus features such as high-quality speakers, backlit keyboard and Sleep-and-Charge USB technology. Toshiba was right on the money if he claims that the M645-S4055 has high performance and mobile multimedia Moxie. The company forgot to mention that you play 3D games on it. In the end, top-notch performance, and share thoughtful extras, and well-equipped function make this an excellent choice for anyone who has a well-rounded, general-purpose notebook.

There are many buzz for the high-concept Toshiba Libretto W100 since it first announced in June 2010. These dual-touchscreen mini laptop like the Toshiba Libretto W105-L521 is built around a limited version showpiece by Toshiba, to celebrate the companies 25th anniversary in the Mobile Computing Business, and is certainly an experiment that pushes the boundaries between laptops, tablets and portable media players .

Despite the far-out thinking behind it, and the components to be weak, the libretto W100 worked in practice much better than we expected in some areas, including certain types of media playback and general Web browsing. This was particularly surprising because the system is running Windows 7 Home Premium on two displays simultaneously, all from a 1.2 GHz Intel Pentium U5400 CPU and 2GB RAM. Our configuration (currently only available for Toshiba’s website) is called the W105-L251 and sold for $ 1,099.

Looking a bit like a giant Nintendo DS, the libretto two 7-inch multi-touch displays, with the second expected to replace the traditional keyboard you would find in this kind of clamshell design. By tapping a key on the side of the chassis, a virtual keyboard (similar to what you find on an iPhone or IPAD) appears on the bottom of the screen to fill. Tap the same button twice, and have instead received a virtual screen touchpad.

Our first fight was with figuring out how to juggle these two virtual input devices, such as the bottom screen is not big enough for both the keyboard and the touchpad completely at once (and display, in our tests on-screen keyboard and touchpad were not registered are inputs simultaneously). Eventually we came to a nice rhythm of the single-and double-tap of keyboard pad switch to on the fly to touch, even though it is a little catchy.

Press the button on the right side of the lower display changes between the default Windows desktop OS and a number of proprietary Bulletin Board Toshiba screens that allow you to organize photos and make notes on a touch-friendly surface. It looks smart, but we can not say that it is particularly useful, especially since it (like almost any proprietary app) has its own learning curve.

In fact, navigating the Windows interface was mostly lag-free, something which can not be said for many netbooks. At the same time, a 7-inch touch screen, no matter how many aids to navigation tricks that you are, just not ideal for touch, and we spent much time hunting and pecking, tries center of the small cursor on buttons and tabs.

One of the most essential navigation shortcuts called the Easy Menu Utility. Behind this generic name is a screen overlay that, when the title bar of a window is displayed tapped. A nine-square grid superimposed on the screen and gives you great tap-friendly buttons for the maximization and minimization of the active window, toggle the window on the other display, stretching or even the active window to cover on both displays. It is handy, but having to hide what you are in an overlay behind us, even for a few seconds, suggests that some form of gesture control could be useful.

Unlike Apple’s IPAD, do not you simply use your finger to scroll, you can flick through websites or documents was frustrating and working conditions of tiny buttons and tabs, even if the on-screen touch pad instead of a finger. That is, the touch controls on the libretto are easily among the most we respond to a Windows-based Tablet’ve encountered. not unlike some of the other WinOS pills we have tried, you will spend most of their time staring at the spinning wait Windows icon, and we would compare to the overall experience to a decent Intel Atom Netbook.

Video playback of 720p local video files was flawless, but online streaming video was difficult. On YouTube, 480p videos play smoothly, while those who stuttered 720p. On Hulu 480p video was choppy, but the lower-res options worked well, and still looked decent on the small 7-inch 1024 x600 pixel screen. Gaming, as one might imagine, is largely worked out of the question, although the few games we tried Facebook and smoothly animated. The Utility Easy Menu is an easy on-screen overlay for touch control.

Ports and connectivity options are limited predictable, but not more than we saw at the other UMPC systems. There is a single USB port (for plugging in an external mouse handy in a pinch) and a microSD slot, and a basic webcam sits next to the top of the screen. It is no Ethernet jack, but you get 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Despite the promise of a 62GB solid-state drive, the libretto W100 is surprisingly loud. An internal fan kicks in often sounding as loud as a spinning platter based hard drive. Despite the hard-working fan, the system gets very hot, especially around the vents in the top half, and while much of the heat conductive metal top cover.

Although it certainly does not compete against the full-size notebooks in raw performance, the system is capable of basic Windows tasks run was impressive (given our initial low expectations). For a largely experimental showpiece that Toshiba was not said for large-scale consumption, provides the libretto W100 on a large part of his promises, and – more importantly – to use often fun. At the end of the day, as the high price and limited availability, this is really more of an executive toy than anything else, especially since they do not fully replace any other gadget in your tech arsenal.

There is no one standout feature on the Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5066, a low-end 15.6-inch notebook will be sold at Staples, except for the fact that it is based on new vision for AMD platform . Performance from the AMD Turion II CPU is fair at best; laptops with Intel Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs only cost a little more and offer a significantly better performance. The battery life is not to impress. While it is not set fire to the labs, the Satellite  L655D-S5066Notebook attractive, anthracite whose exterior looks great both for home or office. And the laptop’s audio output is low compared with previous models we tested have improved satellite. While the Toshiba Satellite  L655D-S5066 is doing nothing to offend the outside, your money will go elsewhere to continue.

Design

The Satellite L655D-S5066 comes in a glossy, dark gray chassis that is a subtle design of small, curved shapes draped cube features. It presents an attractive appearance, and despite the glossy surfaces, it is surprisingly immune to picking up stains and fingerprints. The laptop weighs 6.4 pounds, which is average for its size.

Glossy black, consists of flat keys on the keyboard, the roomy feel despite the presence of a separate numeric keypad on the right. The buttons seem a bit clacky, but they offer a comfortable typing. The touchpad is small and has a matte surface. I do not mind its small size because it reduces accidental contact to a minimum. Overall, it a responsive feel, and also supports multi-touch gestures for scrolling, rotating, and zooming. The two large mouse buttons below the touchpad are very comfortable to use. Above the touchpad is a small button that disables the touchpad for times when a mouse is called to duty.

Features

The 15.6-inch display offers a native resolution of 1,366 standard x 768 The screen is bright with good viewing angle. The widescreen display (16:9 aspect ratio) is convenient when working with documents side by side in Windows 7 Home Premium, and it is also good movie playback. A low-grade, 0.3-megapixel Webcam sits above the display, and Toshiba has included facial recognition software on the laptop to log on in boats. But I found it was easier and faster than my Windows password positioning type my cup identify only directly in front of the webcam for her.

The Toshiba Satellite models I have reviewed over the years, rarely if ever offered passable audio. This trend has agreed with the L655D-S5066, the sound, changed the on a par with Dell and HP systems tenders. The laptop stereo speakers sit above the keyboard, behind two attractive, oval grilles. Their sound reaches a much higher volume than in the past, satellites, and it remains clear at maximum volume. I could hear dialogue in the film, although I do not sit in front of the laptop. But for music playback, you will be better with headphones or external speakers and share.

The Satellite L655D-S5066 offers a collection of thoroughly average of ports and connections. One of the 3 USB 2.0 ports, eSATA port also serves as convenient for those who speed data transmission to an external disk. VGA is the only way to output video signals, HDMI is missing here but can on laptop computers, which cost only a bit more to be found, such as the Acer Aspire AS5745-3428 and HP Pavilion DV6-3040us. Ethernet and modem ports enable the wired networking options, while 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless connectivity is concerned.

In line with its average configuration has the L655D-S5066 a 320 GB hard drive and a DVD burner, both standard products at this price. The Acer Aspire AS5741-6073 surprised us with a 500 GB hard drive, as you will need up to $ 830 or more to spend in order to get a Blu-ray drive. The Samsung R530 is one of the cheapest laptops to have Blu-ray support.

Performance

Based on AMD’s new vision platform, faster DDR3 memory, HyperTransport 3 and Direct X 11 support, the Satellite L655D-S5066 dual-core 2.3GHz Turion II P520 CPU, 4 GB DDR3 memory and ATI Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics. Any modern dual-core CPU offers snappy performance for basic tasks in Windows 7 which is the case here. Applications load quickly, and I did not have any delays when multitasking. However, if you look on the Intel-based competition, you see that may have a better performance only for a little more money. The PCMark Vantage score of 5094 was 28 percent better than the Satellite L655D-S5066′s score of 3965. I saw similar spreads between the two systems in Cinebench R10 and our real-world media encoding tests.

The Satellite L655D-S5066 could not complete our MobileMark 2007 battery test, due to a software conflict I was unable to locate. Instead, I cited two anecdotal tests and the 6-cell (48WHr) battery lasted about three hours. The first test included more video playback, and the system was only 2 hours 30 minutes. On the second examination, which contain less video playback and more Web surfing and office applications, it ran closer to the at 3:30.

In the end, it is difficult to build a recommendation more on the search for the Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5066. While we are on the keyboard, spacious and comfortable, found to respond to multi-touch touchpad, and the sound improved noticeably from the past Satellites to prevent so-so performance and battery life a higher rating.

This is Toshiba mini NB305-N310 of the slightly lower-end version of the Toshiba  Netbook Mini NB305-N410, but design and the differences NB305-N310 capability, Windows XP, to get started with this Mini is a better choice than the NB305-N410.

Our review model has a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 processor with GMA3150 integrated graphics processor, a 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. It also has a built-in webcam and microphone combination, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (but no Bluetooth) and delivered a one-year warranty.

The netbook has the same weight and dimensions as the NB305-N410: 2.9 pounds (including battery), and 10.5 cm wide, 7.6 inches high by 1.4 inches thick. It comes with a six-cell lithium-ion battery, which manages about 9.5 hours of battery life in PCWorld tests. The battery that sits under the chassis is pretty decent – when it comes to the back of the netbook a bit thicker than the front goes.

The NB305-N410 comes in blue, brown or white, the NB305-N310 only comes in one color: Black Onyx. The lid and the trackpad are glossy and matte-structured, while the inner surfaces are smooth, slightly sparkly black, and overall make the color of choice NB305-N310 look more professional and more expensive. The netbook is equipped with three USB 2.0 ports (including a “sleep and charge” port you use to USB devices can even charge while the computer is in sleep mode), an Ethernet port, an SD Card slot, a VGA-out and microphone and headphone jacks.

In contrast to the high-end version of the keyboard, with its small, oddly shaped chiclet-style keys, the NB305-N310 keyboard has a pleasant, normal keyboard. His flat, black keys all over full-size, are the space bar is to some extent, the shift keys decently large, and the tab key – albeit small – is simply wrong to hit (on the NB305-N410 keyboard, I the Tab key every time I tried to use it. The function keys at the top are tiny, but the extra attention makes to the letter of keys more than compensate.

The NB305-N310′s trackpad is bigger than on most Netbooks, and comes with two large, easy-to-press mouse buttons. The trackpad is softer and therefore easier than the high-end model and trackpad supports multitouch gestures like pinching to zoom and two finger scrolling.

The new Mini has a 10.1-inch glossy widescreen LED-backlit display with a native resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. If you can get past the low resolution, this is actually a big screen – the colors are bright and sharp, the images are sharp and easy to see even in bright sunlight. If you move too far left or right, it’s a bit of reflection – especially on pages with dark background.

Although this netbook offers stereo sound, the speakers are underneath the chassis, which makes it a bit hard to hear, especially if the device is on your lap. Video playback is pretty good if you are viewed in standard definition and not in full screen mode, but the Atom N450 processor, not the power, High Definition, to deliver full-screen video. A standard-definition episode of House on Hulu flew in without any problems, but when I switched to full screen or high def, I immediately encountered significant stuttering. If you opt for a netbook that play full-screen Flash video can look, this is not the model for you.

Upgrading from Windows 7 Starter Edition to a higher level version of the OS will cost an extra $ 80, while you get the full version of Windows XP preinstalled on the NB305-N310.
