I recently purchased U840 and found it excelent. Following are some pros and cons which I found. Pros: 1. Excellet booting speed 2. Comes with Windows 7 premiu 3. Very Good battery backup - HD movie playback worked for more than 6.3 Hrs. contineousely. 4. Very good design. Air flow vents are designed in such a way that if you use this laptop on your lap inlet vents doesnt bock. This is enabling laptop to stay cool.... 5. Light in weight 6. Metal body 7. Backlit keyboard - This is really useful when you are using laptop in flight, Car of in dark.... Cons: 1. Touch pad design is not good. You wont find saperate right and left click butons. 2. Power button finish is of glazes metal (steel) which is giving the laptop cheap look. 3. Missing MAT finished display.

Good performance and looks. Scratches appeared on touch pad very easility. I use it with Ubuntu 13.10 and it works perfect. You shall remove intel tools from disk drives though. WLAN card seems to give problems. Signal drops occasionally. I am yet to find out if its router issue or laptop. Overall I am satisfied.

I recently purchased Toshiba U 840 from Flipkart and I am very impressed by the machine. There are various points I would like to summarize about this laptop:- 1) Delivery time by Flipkart - excellent, the laptop was delivered in exactly 3 business days. 2) The laptop has excellent boot up time, boots up from shutdown in less than 20 seconds. 3) Configuration - superb configuration, offers i5 with turbo boost , 500GB had disk + and additional 32 GB SSD which makes this laptop extremely fast. 4) Back lit tile key board - extremely useful feature which is missing in most of the laptops in this price range. Specially useful in the night when you have to work only when your kids sleep. 5) Sleep and charge - do not need to plug in the laptop to charge my mobiles etc. 6) aluminium finish - looks pretty stylish 7) Battery life - have'nt tested it but I am getting over 4 hours. The tiled kepboard has very little play so feels a bit tight as compared to other laptops, however once you get used to it I think it should be fine. All n all a very good laptop to buy at this price range, no other laptop gives these many features at this price. I would definately recommend it.
