Toshiba Satellite U845T is our new midsize, midprice go-to laptop

For $799, this slim 14-inch has 6 hours of battery life, SSD storage, and a brushed-aluminum body.

The ; is thin, with a decent brushed-aluminum body, a 128GB SSD, and better performance and battery life than the competition.

The keyboard has squeezed-down keys, a small spacebar, and some flex under heavy typing. The low screen resolution feels dated in a midsize laptop.

While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013.

Toshiba Satellite U845t-S4165

Zippy processing power, a slender chassis, and solid all-around performance come make the Toshiba Satellite U845t-S4165 ultrabook worthy of serious consideration.

Agile Intel Core i5-3337U processor. Trim, attractive chassis. Responsive touch screen. Great battery life. Features Intel's Wi-Di technology.

Cramped 128GB SSD. Only one USB 3.0 port. Keyboard flexes and yields shallow keystrokes.

Toshiba Satellite U845T review

There's a reasonable chance you'll end up hearing about the Toshiba Satellite U845T on a semiregular basis from us. That's because, at $799 for a 14-inch laptop that's ultrabook-thin, with a touch screen, Intel Core i5 processor, and 128GB solid-state...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Absolute rubbish!

3 months old and the screen went blank. Dropped it off at Toshiba and now, 2 weeks later I get an email saying it won't be repaired for another 3 weeks! I can fly around the world in less time than that.

Reasonably inexpensive laptop

Can't find any

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Excellent PC and value for money,

This laptop exceeded my expectations, it is thin & light while not compromising performance with its i5 processor and 6 GB of RAM. I bought this laptop after CNET dubbed it their "most recommendable laptop of 2013" so far. The battery life is...

It has provided me with all the features that I was looking and more from a lap top

Ms windows 8 crap. Thats No fault of toshiba!

No integrated blue tooth, CNET got it wrong.

BTW: wait for Toshiba to fix all the issues and watch Amazon for details.

Not ready for prime time. Could be a good value with the infant mortality issues resolved.?

No integrated Blue tooth, antenna only. Toshiba says you have to buy an external nano adapter and take up a USB slot. If you don't want blue tooth or don't care about one less USB port no big deal

"Big Disappointment"

I was excited to see such positive reviews for this laptop on cnet, as I have been looking for an decently-priced windows ultrabook that anyone had anything nice to say about. Every article or review I had read previously urged that it if you could...

Nothing comes to mind. It seemed light?

Lemon out of the box. Immediate error messages, telling me to contact the manufacturer. Would not boot up.
