Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-s1001x

-July 12, 2008-
The brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-s1001x is the new innovation from Toshiba for small businessmen. Cheap price, nice specification, and promising design. Everything you need is already included in this laptop. The screen size which is only 13.3" is not an important issue as this laptop is not for gaming or multimedia purposes.

Unfortunately, the keyboard is not good enough. Usually new laptops from Lenovo, Dell, or HP are excellent when it comes to keyboard experience. But I must say that Pro U400 is poor in this category, you'll know what I mean when you try it yourself. The unpleasant typing experience is the most negative issue for this laptop. The other components are fine but the keyboard has really broken the image of this laptop inside my mind.

What interesting from this laptop is its performance test. With Penryn technology, Satellite Pro U400-s1001x easily beat almost all of its competitors. It's unusual to see cheap laptops with Penryn technology until today. And like many other new laptops, Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-s1001x has fingerprint reader and bluetooth feature. It also has 3 USB ports, one FireWire, and a dual-layer DVD burner. My overall score for Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-s1001x is 7/10. It could achieve 8 but I really think the keyboard must be improved.
