It seems that a lot of budget price 13-inch notebooks on the market for consumers looking to find the perfect balance between mobility, performance and price. T230 and T235 Toshiba Satellite series notebooks offer a range of possibilities that could contribute to this laptop only to find a place in your home ShoppingList. We took a step closer to the satellite T235D AMD if this laptop has a very impressive value.
Design and construction
T230 and T235 Toshiba Satellite HP pavilion dv2000 battery series is an update of last year, T130 and T135 phones. These portable 13-inch thin and lightweight, designed to offer consumers a stylish alternative to laptops with better performance and larger screen for a modest price increase. Toshiba maintains the profile of an inch thick, the USB ports on the side of the laptop, but mainly by reducing things such as the ExpressCard slot and optical drive. For the average user, this laptop has all the advantages of an ordinary computer - high-resolution display, full-size keyboard and dual-core processor - but not the mass. The combination of black and silver plastic T235D give a very modern, but we were especially impressed by the durability of chrome mirror finish around the keyboard. In our drop test standards (droping the 12-inch laptop on the table), we noticed a small piece of the picture of the laptop. A "say with certainty that if the term can not survive a fall of 12 inches on the tape can not be sustained and severe abuse.
Cover the screen of our review unit "to complete the merger Gemini Black Chrome", but also provide Toshiba with a red cap. Despite the fragility of frame design and the ultimate goal, the overall quality of the build-T235 series notebook is very nice. Unlike some thin and light notebooks we looked at other companies, flexible plastic, and cracks are minimized in T235D. The screen cover feels durable and do not suffer a lot of bending under pressure, even when used on the front plastic screen is prone to scratches. In short, although the overall structure of the T235D is a solid, stylish exterior, the Dell xps m1730 battery does not have the capacity for normal use and abuse in a backpack or briefcase school office. Although the glossy finish on the body more resistant to scratches constantly needing to clean fingerprints and smudges, if you want to keep your notebook looking new.
If you are interested in improving the internal components of T235D was pleased that the system memory and hard drive is easy to detect only the lid at the bottom of the laptop. Toshiba, which is easily updated with one screw to provide access to the board. Remove the Phillips screw and have access to the hard disk and RAM. We were a bit "stiff as a wireless access card is not so simple. However, given the low purchase price and the target is likely to T235 owners bother trying to exchange the wireless card. Warranty Void if removed stickers are everywhere, so be sure to share the building blocks without compromising the warranty. In this sense, Toshiba offers a one-year parts and labor for work and one year warranty Compaq HP 6710b battery.
The screen and speakers
13.3 "LED-backlit by T235D appears to be identical to screen used in the T135 and T135D. The colors do not look as saturated as the screen on the line last year, but the contrast ratio is still below the average level of light is very black and 182: 1 contrast ratio test lab. horizontal viewing angle is good for at least 45 degrees on both sides before you begin to notice color distortion. vertical angles of vision are below average, and the screen becomes more exposed or colors after the move the screen 15 degrees forward or backward. luster is usually good enough for use indoors in bright light or outside the shadow of the office. glossy screen makes this a reflection of a problem if you try to use an external monitor to direct sunlight.
The President is below the average production of the maximum volume is not loud enough noise filled the great hall meeting withn clear. The maximum amount of this laptop is more like what we expect when we create multimedia notebooks to 50 percent in volume. Part of the problem is placing the speakers on the bottom front of the laptop ... This means that the sound is directed down and away from you instead of your ears. Another problem is the small size of the speakers themselves. Toshiba just did not put the speakers in this notebook impressive. If this is your computer just to listen to your music library, I recommend buying a good pair of headphones.
The keyboard and touchpad
The major changes between T235 T135 last year and this year is the keyboard. Satellite T235 has a Chiclet keyboard style or the style of the island with more space between each key. In theory, the less frequent errors, but in practice we found little difference. I was personally a big fan of the keyboard on the T135 series notebooks, so I was a bit "sad to see the new keyboard on this model. On the positive side, the keyboard is comfortable to type and type of solid support provides an excellent even under pressure. Individual keys are flexible action sensitive, and each key has a flat surface. cone noise is minimal, but strong "click clack" sound as you type. consumers considering the purchase of a Dell latitude d531 battery writing long documents or notes during class should have no problem with this keyboard. palm is pretty much the perfect size for an adult-sized hands between people and wrist support without creating additional stress points as you type. However, the right palm is suffering from a small amount of bending under pressure.
Synaptics touchpad works well, and after the update rate of the driver update seemed fine. The touchpad is a pleasure to use. Most of our testers agreed that the laboratory can slide your finger across the surface of the touch screen. The touchpad buttons are covered in the same chrome reflection fagile money and do not offer much in terms of comfort. Pressing a button is very shallow with an audible click when pressed. Luckily, the touchpad buttons have been improved after a series T135 and keys to respond to any pressure, no matter if you press the touch screen, near the center and margins.
Ports and Features
Port selection was pretty good compared to laptops and netbooks ultraportables, but we've come to believe that all portable computers (laptops, even though the consumer price of the budget) should have at least one USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 is fine for now, but we are seeing more and more accessories that can take advantage of USB 3.0 portable and must keep pace with time. T235D has three USB ports (one is a combo eSATA / USB), HDMI and VGA, LAN, audio jacks and a Kensington security slot. Expansion slots include the only 6-in-1 card reader SDHC compatible.
Performance and Benchmarks
We found a dual-core 1.5 GHz AMD Turion II Neo K625 deliver solid performance on this laptop. Although the latest generation of Intel processors provide the numbers for most of the synthetic low-voltage performance in real life, so powerful Intel Core i3-T235D tm2t 330UM HP Pavilion. Although the Pentium II processor Neo K625 is good, we are especially pleased to see how it behaves with T235D ATI Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics. The short answer is that this laptop offers a video and perform significantly better than phones with built-in Intel graphics card games.
The latest generation of Intel integrated graphics work best when it comes to basic games like World of Warcraft or more sets of first-person shooter. Also, compinions dual-core processor and ATI graphics cards, such as Netflix videos a lot more fun than a netbook based on Intel's Atom.
In terms of day to day activities, it is fair to say that most consumers do not notice much (if any) performance difference between the T235D and T235 U5400 based on Intel Pentium. That fact alone probably means that consumers are more cautious you should take into account the T235D based on AMD because it is $ 30 cheaper than Intel T235. Overall efficiency of multitasking and to run applications with T235D is fast and responsive.
The only problem we encountered in our laboratories and high performance has been outstanding amount of bloatware that Toshiba is installed on your system. It is clear that Toshiba satellite a105 battery wants to make life easier for consumers who are not comfortable with modern technology, but plenty of pop-up with Windows, which indicates the recording, the security settings of your hard drive, wireless settings, and just down the road. It is impossible to give an accurate measure of the delay, but it's safe to say that the pop-up bloatware often draw attention to a few seconds when you try to do something else.
