Review of the Toshiba Satellite U405

Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830 13.3" Laptop (2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

This Toshiba is an incredible compact computer. The screen measures 13.3" and it weighs in at only five pounds. The power that is in this computer is not compact, however. You will find that it delivers the highest amount of computing ability for a very reasonable price.

There is also a webcam installed on this machine, which allows the business user to communicate with the home office via video conferencing. The extra large 250 GB hard drive will give you plenty of space to store all of your music and pictures as well as extra room for all of your software programs.

For security Toshiba has added the advanced biometric fingerprint reader to replace the need for storing all those passwords in your memory.

Business people or students working on the road will find the Intel Wireless 4965AGN Wi- Fi chip is all you need to get on the Internet from any location. This makes this compact computer a handy mobile office. It runs Windows Vista.

Some people find the Vista operating system cumbersome to use, however, it is here to stay and people are beginning to get used to it. With some customization tweaks here and there the OS will run fine.

In all, consumers are very pleased with this lightweight compact laptop. It is attractive and stylish. The Toshiba Satellite U405 will meet the needs of most users. Students and mobile businesspersons, who are notoriously hard on their laptops, will find that this is a fast and proficient computer. It is a wonderful media center that will handle all of your DVD viewing as well as your audio files.

It is not the lowest cost laptop in the Satellite line but it is a great value for the money. If you are looking for something lightweight, compact and powerful this computer is worth a look see.
