A review of the Toshiba Satellite T110-10R subnotebook has been posted over at NoteBook Check. 'The Satellite is equipped with plenty of software ex-factory. Windows 7 Home Premium as the 64 bit alternative is used as the operating system. Aside from Windows, Microsoft Home and Student 2007 (60 day trial version), Microsoft Works, McAfee Internet Security (free updates for 30 days), a game collection, the Google Pack, Connectivity Doctor, Chicony Camera Software and a row of Toshiba Software are pre-installed. It's recommendable to uninstall the unnecessary programs because the booting time is affected by them.'

Notebook Review have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T135 13-inch notebook. 'The Toshiba Satellite T135-series notebooks are stylish ultraportables that look like previous 13-inch Toshiba notebooks, but in a much thinner and lighter chassis. Toshiba keeps the profile only a fraction of an inch thicker than the USB ports on the side of the notebook, though this is done in large part by cutting out things like an ExpressCard slot and optical drive. For the average user this notebook has all the advantages of a standard computer--a high resolution display, a full-size keyboard and a dual-core processor--but none of the bulk. The black color scheme on our T135D looks nice, although the red exterior of the Intel-based T135 was a nice change of pace.'

CNET Asia have published a review of the Toshiba Portege T110 (Pentium ULV SU2700 Processor 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM) notebook. 'The look and feel of the T110 is nearly identical to the T130 line of Toshiba Portege thin-and-lights we've already reviewed in several iterations: very glossy plastic surrounds the outer and inner surfaces, highlighted with chrome lines on the edges. From a short distance it's a great look, but up close the faint checkered pattern and fingerprint-showcasing design make it look a little cheap and plasticky. It is, however, a very comfortably sized laptop to pick up and hold in one hand, managing a size and shape very similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad S12.'

Laptop Magazine have published their review of the Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 notebook. 'Measuring 17.4 x 11.6 x 1.6 inches and weighing a hefty 8.6 pounds, the P505 isn't a notebook designed for the coffee shop. However, this attractive machine will look great sitting on a desktop or entertainment center thanks to the Fusion Finish in Sonic Black design. The system features an eye-catching glossy coating that extends from the lid to the bezel, keyboard, and base (the latter incorporates subtle arcing white lines that cut through the black).'

CNET have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 ultraportable. 'At a glance, the T135D and the rest of the T135 series share several design similarities to the rest of the Toshiba Satellite lineup, although they are markedly different from the Satellite NB line of Netbooks. Covered inside and out in a glossy checkerboard-esque Fusion Finish in black, red, or white, the T135D is accented with slick chrome highlights along the edge of its palm rest and on its touch pad buttons. Aside from a large "Toshiba" logo across the back, the design is understated from a distance and presents a trim profile with a battery that's well integrated into the bottom, with minimal bulge.'

MobileTechReview have published their review of the Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 notebook. 'The Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 is among what Toshiba calls their "premium design" notebook models that have a textured surface on the cover and keyboard deck. The textured surface adds a luxurious look to the notebook and is impervious to fingerprints. Even though the Toshiba Satellite U500 carries the "U" series label, it's quite thick and measures at 12.5 x 9.08 x 1.16 (front)/1.50 (rear) inches. However the notebook isn't hugely heavy at the 4.74 lbs starting weight.'

A review of the Toshiba Satellite T130-11H notebook has been posted over at Pocket-lint.com. 'Measuring only 323 x 223 x 22.2mm (at the front and 34.2mm at the rear) this isn't the slimmest of all the machines out there, but it will easily slip into most bags too. Weighing in at 1.76kg it won't pull your arm off either if you have to carry it around all day. The design is attractive enough - despite the fingerprints - with a subtle patterned underlay giving the impression of a carbonfibre weave. It isn't, of course, but the plastics seems to be substantial enough to avoid too much bending and twisting, with the screen getting a good degree of protection from the rear and lid not bending as you move it around.'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T135D ultraportable. 'The T135D features a glossy coating that commands your attention, and the Fusion Finish in Nova Black offers a dark, rich visual design with a subtle checkered pattern that's quite fetching. Available in black, red, and white, the T135D's subtle, houndstooth-esque pattern spreads across the lid, extending onto the keyboard deck and palm rest. Even the touchpad bears this pattern (although it has a textured finish). Because of this design, fingerprints remain more or less hidden. Coupled with metal accents on and around the touch button, the machine looks a bit more expensive (and rightfully so) than your average netbook.

Notebook Check have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T130-14T ultraportable. 'Currently, the Satellite T130 range is made up of 3 models in Germany and Austria. These differ in terms of CPU (Pentium SU2700 or Pentium SU4100), hard disk size and available Bluetooth option. Because both processors show the same power dissipation, it's unlikely that there will be a difference in relation to battery life or emissions in the single models. However, the SU4100 can serve with two computer cores in comparison to the SU2700 so that more performance is awaited from the models equipped with the dual-core CPU, depending on the application.'

Reg Hardware have published a review of the Toshiba Satellite T110 11.6in CULV notebook. 'Unlike the 1810TZ, the T110 has Bluetooth on board, but in most other respects the two machines' hardware essentials are the same. Both have 802.11n Wi-Fi, a VGA port, three USB 2.0 connectors - which can be set to provide power when the laptop's sleeping - a multi-format memory card slot and and HDMI port. They have Intel's GMA 4500MHD graphics core built into their chipset to drive both screen and HDMI. While the Acer has Gigabit Ethernet, the Toshiba is limited to a netbook-like 100Mb/s. Personally, we'd rather have faster wired networking than Bluetooth, but you pays your money, and we'll pay ours.'
