Brilliant LaptopToshiba - 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 is the Satellite U300 series. Currently there are six models in the U300 family line-up, with our review model, the U300-134, sitting at the mid-way point.
The U300-134 certainly looks the part, with the familiar Satellite glossy blue finish to the lid and the traditional large Toshiba logo in bold, silver lettering. Opening the lid reveals the silver finished keyboard and surround, which is neatly set off by gloss black panels above and below. A blue, LED-backlit Satellite logo sits in the left-hand corner of the bottom panel, matching the backlit system indicators on the other side. Sitting directly above the keyboard are the power button, quick-launch Internet and CD/DVD buttons, and four controls for playing CD/DVDs.

Overall the build quality of the U300-134 is up to the usual high standard we have come to expect from Toshiba, and weighing in at around two kilos it's certainly easy to carry around.

At the heart of the Satellite U300-134 lurks an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor which, clocked at 2.0GHz, has an 800MHz FSB and 2MB of L2 cache. If you want more or indeed less power, you can simply choose a different model in the U300 range: they are available with 1.50GHz (U300-13U), 1.66GHz (U300-14B, U300-133), 1.8GHz (U300-11V) and 2.4GHz (U300-13V) processors.
