Review Summary: I covered the initial impressions in my last review so let's get right to the 13.3″ touchscreen. It's a non-glossy matte screen so glare is pretty much not an issue. Fingerprints? Not a problem, unless you're touching the screen with your grubby little...

Review Summary: From cell phones to slate PCs like the Apple iPad, and even all-in-one PCs, touch is all the rage. There's no denying the intuitive nature of simply tapping a finger on what you want, but can you make any device better simply by slapping a touch screen...
The Verdict: A solid chassis, comfortable keyboard and powerful processor all recommend the U505 series – just stay away from the touch screen models.

Review Summary: If you're in the market for an all-around laptop, the Satellite U505-S2970 makes an excellent choice. The unit has the same or better feature set as the competition in this class, and offers excellent performance. It's a bit ahead of the game in RAM...

Review Summary: With a small size you would think that this note book is thin and light. But you will be disappointed because this is not a thin and definitely not light. It is only a tad lighter than Toshiba Satellite E105-S1802 but with this size we would have...
The Verdict: We don't recommend this laptop due to the bad display. To make things worse it has a small size and is heavy too. We seldom come across small laptop which are not portable-friendly.

Review Summary: The Toshiba U505-S2980's main gimmick is a multitouch touchscreen. Outside of that, it is, for the most part, a decent laptop, even above average in many ways. But that one gimmick is the root of my issues with this 13-inch notebook--and helps raise...
The Verdict: Toshiba's U505-S2980 is a solid, attractive performer--but the multitouch screen causes some problems.

The Verdict: Above the keyboard are the two speakers and a row of touch-sensitive buttons, including the eco utility button, launch button for PowerCinema (similar to Media Center), and playback and volume controls. All of these buttons were responsive, but they...

Review Summary: Plenty of storage space and the inclusion of the 802.11n means the Toshiba Satellite U505-S2930 is future proof enough to last you a few years. The 13.3inch widescreen doesn't give you the largest viewing experience around, so providing you are using...
The Verdict: Toshiba have risen to prominence in the laptop stakes over the past few...
