Toshiba Satellite U300-134

Toshiba enters the 13.3in notebook sector with this highly affordable entrant, but does it have the quality to match its competitive price?

Though there are some minor issues, at the price the Toshiba U300-134 is a real bargain. It offers very competent mobile performance in an attractive chassis, which weighs just 2kg. As such, if you want portability but don't want to pay the premiums...

Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 notebook

Toshiba tends to split its business in two quite distinctive trends, you have the full multimedia statements, such as its Qosmio line, and then there is the rather subdued and safe business machine. While the Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 falls into the...

Powerful, good battery life, great software

No digital ports

The Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 may not be a notebook to grab the headlines like some other 13.3-inch machines but we found it a powerful and versatile machine that certainly offers great value for money.

Toshiba Satellite U300-13V laptop

Toshiba has been making notebooks for over 20 years and in that time has specialised on corporate machines but increasingly in the last few years it has released a number of machines for the home user too. The Toshiba Satellite U300-13V is a great...

Great value, fantastic finish

Not the best of keyboards

The Toshiba Satellite U300-13V is a great all-round notebook. It’s light enough to carry around without it being a burden and the battery life is better than a lot of machines we’ve seen at this price and weight. However, what really won us over was...

Toshiba Satellite U300-113 review

Toshiba's Satellite U300-113 is a sleek ultra-portable laptop that weighs a little less than 2kg.

Smaller than the average laptop without being more expensive. An attractive lightweight laptop, though battery life and performance aren't the best.

Toshiba Satellite U300-113 laptop PC

Its suitability as a gaming machine is questionable, but in the Toshiba Satellite U300-113 Toshiba has put together a smart and stylish laptop that gives a good account of itself elsewhere.

While we have no hesitation in giving the Toshiba Satellite U300-113 a PC Advisor Recommended award, if you prize value over eye-catching design, you'll get more for your money with the similarly priced Acer TravelMate 5720 laptop.

Toshiba - Satellite U300-134

Having seen the popularity of Apple's very stylish but none-too-light MacBook, other manufacturers have got on the 13.3-inch laptop bandwagon; with, it has to be said, varying degrees of success. Toshiba's foot-hold in this market sector ...

Toshiba's Satellite U300-134 should certainly stir things up in the 13.3-inch notebook arena as it offers stylish looks, a pretty decent feature set and reasonable battery life. And best of all, a fair price tag.
