IT Reviews have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite Pro T130 notebook. 'For such a small notebook - 13.3-inch screen, 323 x 223 x 22.2-34.2mm - the Satellite Pro T130 is surprisingly heavy. Its 1.76kg mean you'll notice the weight. But a key reason for the weight of the Satellite Pro T130 is the very robust build. If you do decide to carry it, it should take a fair few knocks. The shiny black finish on the chassis won't appeal to all, but we found it quite aesthetically pleasing. The 13.3-inch screen delivers 1366 x 768 pixels. The shiny screen coating helps with clarity when viewing video, though as ever it is a bit reflective.'

CNET Asia have published a review of the Toshiba Qosmio X500 (Core i7 720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM) notebook. 'With a massive 18-inch 1080p display, it's no surprise our review unit included a Blu-ray drive (a bandwagon Toshiba has been reluctant to hop onboard as it was the driving force behind HD-DVD). Those features (plus a second solid-state hard drive) make for a system that costs US$1,899--not much compared with the tricked-out Alienware laptops of old, but considered very high-end in today's Netbook-obsessed market. HP, Asus, and others also have Core i7 gaming rigs in the works, which may be worth considering if you want a Core i7 and high-end graphics without paying for Blu-ray, the SSD drive, and other pricey features.'

PC World have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 netnook. 'The 11.6-inch widescreen places the T115 in a select group of netbooks with oversized screens. This one, along with every other one in its class, employs a 1,366-by-768 resolution, so you get more pixels than that of a 1,024-by-600 one that is standard among 10-inch widescreens, like the one found in the Toshiba mini NB205. My compliments to Toshiba for including a full size keyboard when similar netbooks, like the HP 311 and Asus 1101HA, are topping out at 92% of full size. It's easier to implement a full size typing experience on a 12-inch platform, which is exactly what the Lenovo S12 (Ion) and the Samsung NC20 did.

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Toshiba mini NB205-N330BL netbook. 'With most netbooks sporting the same guts (except for the HP Mini 311, which features Nvidia's Ion platform for added graphics punch), design becomes a major differentiator, and Toshiba doesn't disappoint. Our model featured a Royal Blue lid that's adorned with raised horizontal lines, giving the PC a textured surface that's interesting to touch. Combined with an elegant, shiny blue hinge (with a glowing power button at its center) and a silver finish on the deck, the NB205 has an executive-chic look. At 10.4 x 8.3 x 1.2 inches, the NB205 is quite compact. It's a hair smaller than the 11.4 x 8.0 x 1.2-inch HP Mini 311 (which houses an 11.6-inch display). The six-cell battery juts out from the back of the system, but because this netbook weighs just 3 pounds, we didn't mind too much.'
