Toshiba Satellite U300-111 Notebook Review |
|
Although the computer press is prone to focus on notebooks that stand out with their performance, size/weight or innovative technologies, common users are generally interested in less conspicuous models. Why? Because exceptional characteristics cost a lot of money but are not called for by every person. If you need a notebook for running office applications and watching movies and will not often take it with you on your business trips, paying extra for a 1-kilo sub-notebook or a desktop replacement with advanced CPU and graphics card doesn’t seem wise. You are likely to prefer a model with a reasonable weight and with performance appropriate for the intended applications and, accordingly, with a moderate price.
Configured similarly to the Dell, the Toshiba Satellite U300-111 weighs only about 2 kilos. Of course, it is no subnotebook, but this weight should satisfy many users who are looking for a light-than-average model, especially as the U300-111 is cheaper than typical subnotebooks (which weigh less than 1.5 kilos). It has a display diagonal of 13.3 inches, which differentiates it from the somewhat cheaper 12-inchers weighing about 1.9-2.0 kilos, too.
