Satellite T135 handles multitasking not well

Toshiba Satellite T135, belonging to the new Satellite T100 laptop, removed the optical drive to get a slim body like competitors Asus UL30 and Acer Timeline 3810T.

Beautiful, slim and light design, but Toshiba Satellite T135 does not meet the power of a laptop running Windows 7. Equipped with HDMI output but T135 does not belong to the popular entertainment laptop segment.In fact, the Satellite T135 is a 13-inch model that is limited in performance by only single-core processors.The Satellite T135 version has a basic configuration with a price of 599 USD.While direct competitors in this segment like Lenovo IdeaPad U350 also have Intel CULV SU2700 CPU, but the redesign is more appreciated, or as Asus UL30 dual-core CULV processor has real ability. Better exam and more advanced aluminum shell design.

With the typical features of Toshiba laptops recently launched, the T135 has a glossy seven-coated case with Fusion Finish's surface coating technology which has 3 colors: black, red and white with small ripple patterns on the machine surface as well as zone of hand-placed optical touchpad.The black keyboard is also coated with glossy paint so it feels slippery.

Moderately sized touchpad, the rough surface is quite sensitive but the silver colored mouse button on the bottom is slightly noisy due to the plastic material.Although thinner than many other Toshiba laptops, the T135 is still 35.6 mm thick.The point Toshiba needs to improve to bring more convenience to users is to add touch keys or touches like the current trend for practical multimedia multimedia control features, such as increasing the volume, but not should use "new" "Fn" keys and "3" and "4" numeric keys.

Satellite T135 equipped with 13.3-inch LED mirror screen, resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, with high brightness for true colors and sharp images.Above the screen is an integrated webcam that supports recording better than shooting with low resolution.But the most disappointing is the speaker system that the T135 owns is located somewhere in the body, the volume is too small.Besides HDMI output as well as a "luxury" accessory by T135 can hardly play HD video with single-core processor and integrated graphics chip.

At $ 599 for the basic configuration, the T135 only comes with Intel Pentium SU2700 1.3 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, HDD 250 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.Toshiba also offers an upgrade option to Intel CULV SU4100 CPU, but according to Cnet , that upgrade has not been much to say about improving performance.

Ability to handle better than Intel Atom processor of netbook but not much but can not compare with Intel Dual-Core CPU in multi-tasking execution . Intel CULV CPU is best suited for basic laptop needs such as web surfing, email, common office jobs and ensuring long battery life. In fact, Satellite T135 is worse than Lenovo IdeaPad U350 in terms of processing speed, but using the same Intel CULV SU2700 processor. And yet, the Satellite T135 is the poorest of the ultraportable laptops tested by Cnet for comparison.

But in return, the 6-cell battery equipped with the Satellite T135 maintains a running time of up to 5 hours and 42 minutes while watching video, better than all models running the test, including the Acer Aspire 3810T.Toshiba Satellite T135 has a nice design, affordable price, connecting the gap between netbooks and popular laptops but still needs to improve performance.

Advantages - Slim, beautiful design.
- Run a new Windows 7 operating system.
- Good battery life. Disadvantages - Limited implementation with single core processors.
- Weak speakers.
