User Reviews for Toshiba Satellite U840W-X0110 Ultrabook (Core i5 3rd Gen/6 GB/500 GB/Windows 8) Laptop

I bought this ultrabook from Delhi in November 2012, when it had just launched. My reasons to go for this : 1. Extremely attractive, killer looks, with half metal half rubber finishing. 2. Unusual shape - 2 inches longer then an usual 14" and slimmer in breadth by about 2 inch. So looks all the more long. 3. specs are very impressing 4. Harman / Kardon speakers - these are like Ferrari to maruti (normal speakers) 5. High battery performance 6.slim & Light weight at 1.68 kgs 7. boots up in 5 secs 8. movie viewing experience is out of the world - whole screen is utilised without any black borders on sides After using for 6 months in abroad (Geneva), its a head turner in my office..:-) ,I have no regrets for any of the above claimed pros. Cons: after using : I have found out that: 1. keyboard is hopeless..no response, when you type...feels very hard to press. 2. due to the longer size of the ultrabook, the positioning of track pad is more towards left and you tend to rest your palm on it and cause unintentional shift to the cursor. If you reduce the track pad sensitivity,it ends up being non-responsive. Overall, the best buy one can have... the first of its kind with this resolution: Cinema mode 21:9 ratio, 14.4 " screen 1,792 x 768 resolution.you can keep two pages on the screen at the same time overall, I am quite happy with it, as I got used to the typing experience...:-)

I am using this ultrabook, it is very good for viewing movies and more over i love the sound. It boots in just 3 to 4 seconds. but lack of touch screen is a concern. Can some one suggest a good carry bag for this ultrabook

Already using this machine for 6 months now, bought it from US at 1/2 the indian market price :) but thats how US pricing is.. Machine performance is comendable even after six months of extensive usage boots up in max 7 secs. Pros: 1. Feel & Finish 2. Performance 3. Value for Money ( for me atleast ) Cons: 1. Quality of Hindges is a concern 2. The trackpad click buttons are not Convenient use, u would have to use a house. 3. 14.4 inch is good for videos / movies / other casual purposes. But while using it for hard core development pupose u might have issues with 21:9 aspect ratio. Overall perfect machine for normal to mediocre user, however not recommended for heavy users.

superb sound PERFECT ULTRABOOK IN this range Cinematic HD Clear SuperView LED Backlit Display Harman/Kardon Speakers with SRS Premium Sound 3D VERY SLIM 21 mm only 1.68kg things going -ve are 14.4 inche,4 cell battery. Best one in this range among all the brands.

Its a light weight ultra book with two tone shades & mind blowing 3D surround sound. Boots up very fast. Data transfering is a pleasure with it because of all 3.0 Usb ports, 6 gb ram & 32 gb Ssd. Screen resolutions are beautiful. Length of its screen is equal to the length of 15.6 inches laptop. Backlite keyboard looks fab when it glows. Battery backup is also ok. We can freely convert windows 8 into windows 8.1. Little bit of heating issue I found in this lapy & non removal battery is also a point to think one more time. Rest every thing is gud & value for money.
