PC Mag Reviews the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300 Laptop

PC Magazine has published their review of the 13.3-inch Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300 ultra-thin laptop:

Despite being a latecomer to the netbook market, Toshiba found success in the seemingly cut-throat niche. This time, it didn’t wait as long to enter the increasingly popular CULV-laptop segment of the market. (CULV stands for consumer ultra-low voltage CULV processor.) Like all other CULV-equipped laptops, the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300 ($600 street) runs on a low-powered processor and measures less than an inch thick. Performance, though, is this systems biggest compromise, as it uses a single core Pentium processor instead of a dual core like that found in its peers, the ASUS UL30A-A1 and Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810T. At $600, though, it also costs $150-$300 less than its dual-core rivals, and that’s very reasonable.

BOTTOM LINE

The Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300 is a well designed, inexpensive ultraportable that uses the single-core CULV processor and comes up a bit short in performance.

PROS

Very inexpensive. Well designed despite budget limitations. Excellent battery life. Lightweight and thin. Energy efficient.

CONS

CULV Pentium processor holds performance back. Mouse buttons are difficult to press.
