Toshiba Satellite U840W

-

A sturdy metallic body with Aluminium and rubber coating, the u840w is an ultra-wide ultra-bookK It is powered by two Harman kardon speakers featured on both sides of the chicklet keyboard that is easy and great to typeK The keys are flat and backlitK Despite so much space, it is not a full keyboardK Touchpad is great and the hand rest spacious and comfyK

The display is the widest you can seeK It may appear compressed and will take some time to get used toK But, after a time it won’t matterK However, adjusting the aspect ratio will be an issueK We found big bars on both sides while running videosK The sound quality is stunningK Its 14K4-inch display with ultra-widescreen aspect ratio lends an entirely unique user experience­K It has HD display, 3 uSB 3K0 and one HDMI portK

It is a fast performer and scores well in our performanc­e tests, especially PC Mark, where it scored 8521K Its 3D mark performanc­e is a decent 4932K The battery lasted 2hours 35minsK It runs on 1K7ghz Intel i5 processor, SgB RAM, Windows 7 premium S4bit and has 500gB HDDK The display can run two files simultaneo­usly -a video on one and a web page on the otherK There is an icon on the top of the page, just click on it forK

Bottomline: This is a powerful ultra-book with a peculiar displayK Its configurat­ion and performanc­e is impressive, still S4k is a little too much for itK If you can handle the display and price, it is worth considerin­gK
