Design and feel

Four corners of the machine are curved beveled create a soft feel. With 14.5 x 7.9 inch dimensions, this machine gives you a lot of space to work horizontally, but the ratio of 21: 9 of screen 14.4-inch also means the screen is short and somewhat unbalanced compared with other models. The size of the machine can a bit cramped if you put in the backpack, the backpack is often long enough for you to fit the machine, but will be slightly harder to pull the lock.

Toshiba Satellite U845W-S410 with eye-catching appearance, most of the items are made from scratch bronzer attractive aluminum plus a lid section is a rubber strip along the edges. The bottom of the Toshiba Satellite U845W-S410 is made of a material similar to soft cover and small holes consecutive ratings can help users handle comfortably and surely. Weighs 1,83kg, it is only slightly heavier than the Samsung Series 5 14 inch type (1.78 kg) while the equivalent thickness (about 2 cm). As noted above, the size “like no other” by U845W created a stocky looks, but it kept the elegant style that you’d expect from a high-end laptop.

The machine supports 3 USB ports (one of which is capable of Sleep-and-Charge – allow charging for mobile devices even when the computer is turned off), an Ethernet jack, a port HDMI, 2 ports for headphones and mic off (using technology Sleep-and-music – listen to music when the power is off) and memory card reader are located at the lower of the machine.

Keyboard and touchpad

U845W keyboard is also designed island phenotype that we often see in conventional laptops, as well as other machines of Ultrabook, shallow keys.

Synaptics Touchpad production by scrolling and clicking quite smoothly. However, if Toshiba touchpad placed in the middle, the better will be slightly to the left as today because we do not easily change usage habits. Flip open the Web and zoom works very well, but a few other operations such as image rotation is limited. In general, little inertia and less sensitive trackpad, do not get exactly the type or click slight manipulation. However, the ability to recognize the palm works pretty well, so you can be assured will not be mistake when hands accidentally touch the touchpad while typing.

Screen and sound

TN 14.4 inch screen, 1792 x 768 resolution is the main attraction of this machine, it’s even more amazing full HD video support.

It should be noted: 1,792 x 768 resolution increased the breadth of pixels compared with 1366 x 768 resolution, so even though there are some advantages when watching the film, the width of the machine makes everything on the screen felt smaller than usual. When viewing a web page or working with a Gmail account, you will always have to enlarge the screen by default font size seems to be smaller.

Sides of the keyboard are two stereo Harman Kardon speakers, a strong enough structure to make room for a medium sized sound overwhelmed. Bass heard quite clearly, but not sharp. Software SRS Premium Sound 3D pre-installed on the machine allows you to adjust the sound of the machine depending on when you’re listening to music or watching movies. Adjust the bass all the way down to result sounds more alive.
