disappointing from the start

By steamboatned (cnet.com) Read the full review

After the warranty expired I ran into endless BSOD problems due to???? maybe memory, maybe the replaced touch-pad, who knows? I expected so much more from Toshiba. I read the reviews and the editors seemed to gloss over the issues that users had,...

lightweight, good battery life

touch pad needed replacing, hard drive is crashing, speakers are worthless even 'tho software was updated, touch pad buttons are very hard to press (caused right thumb to be tweaked)

My favorite laptop ever

By spinella (cnet.com) Read the full review

This is a great business laptop for the road warrior. Also, I can write for hours with it on my lap, does not overheat.

It is light, bigger than an ipad, and has a full functional keyboard, but of course the battery life is the best ever

I had to update the bios when I got it to correct the poor sound mentioned in the review. The hdmi port can drive a movie on a big screen, but barely

The speakers are EXTREMELY weak. I couldn't hear videos even when I had everything up as high as it could go. The mouse pad was also very problematic because it would work for a minute or two, and then it would stop registering. Had to buy an actual...

It runs prgrams like a basic computer should

Very many weird problems. The flaws make it almost un-usable, see the bottom line summary for details

Toshiba Satellite T135D Review

By Jerry Jackson (NotebookReview.com)

The Toshiba Satellite T135 series is a popular 13-inch thin-and-light notebook available in a variety of configurations. We previously reviewed the T135 with Intel inside, but what about the T135D with the latest AMD dual-core processors and ATI...

Excellent performance ; Great price ; Good keyboard

Exterior gets hot ; Average battery life ; Glossy plastics

The Toshiba Satellite T135D is a solid notebook that offers a lot for a modest price. It's not perfect, but if you can learn to live with its flaws then you can save $100

Does the AMD-based T135D offer more than the Intel-based T135 for $100 less? We took a closer look to find out

Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324

By John Marrin (pcworld.com)

Though the awkward model number doesn't roll off the tongue, the Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 ultraportable laptop is a slim, sleek package that offers some pleasant surprises while making a few compromises. For one thing, the glossy black chassis,...

Beautiful screen ; Slim, sleek design

Small keyboard keys ; Merely fair benchmark performance

The T135D-S1324 is an easily packable laptop ideal for light-duty office, home, and travel use.

Along the front edge of the chassis is a row of LED status lights (power, Wi-Fi, hard-drive access, and so on), which are visible whether the laptop is open or closed. Thankfully, they're small, neatly arranged, and not annoyingly bright. Overall, the...

By Michael A. Prospero and Jeffrey L. Wilson (laptopmag.com)

Strong graphics performance, Good wireless throughput, Stylish design

Narrow and stiff touchpad button, Less battery life than Intel version, Runs hot

Although Toshiba was able to cram discrete graphics into the T135D, the thinness of the system contributes to poor heat dissipation. After playing a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad registered 101 degrees Fahrenheit, the space...

The temperature by the exhaust vent rose to an unbearable 125 degrees. We consider anything over 95 degrees to be uncomfortable, and anything over 100 degrees to be unacceptable

Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324

By Scott Stein (cnet.com)

When Toshiba announced the Satellite T135 series, its line of thin-and-light ultraportable laptops last year, we were immediately interested for two reasons: performance and price. In a world of Netbooks toting endlessly similar Atom processors, having...

Better-than-Netbook performance and a 13-inch screen for only $599; lightweight chassis

Weak speakers; keyboard and touch pad get hot during prolonged use; dual-core AMD Neo processor doesn't provide any step up from the Intel processors in previous versions

Toshiba's lightweight and affordable thin-and-light T135 series shaves another hundred off its price by switching to an AMD Neo processor in the T135D-S1324, while offering only slightly diminished performance.

By (cnet.com)

Affordable thin-and-light; strong battery life

Tinny speakers; no Bluetooth

For a budget Windows 7 thin-and-light that won't need to recharge often, you could do a lot worse than the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309.

Dual-core CULV processor; Windows 7 preinstalled; very good battery life

Weak speakers; uncomfortable touch pad

Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but if you're going to get one, make sure it's the dual-core T135-S1310, and not its single-core cousin.

Toshiba Satellite T135 Review

By Kevin O'Brien (NotebookReview.com)

The 13-inch Toshiba Satellite T135 is an Intel CULV-powered ultraportable boasting long battery life, a thin chassis, and a very low weight. Powered by the 1.3GHz SU4100 and Intel X4500 integrated graphics this notebook is a big step above netbooks but...

Excellent battery life ; Thin and lightweight ; Solid keyboard

Torx screws on the hard drive bay cover ; Super glossy plastics

The Synaptics touchpad was a slight disappointment in that it had a very slow refresh rate. Compared to other touchpads where you can draw circles quick enough to the point where the cursor starts to test the refresh rate of the panel, this particular...

In this review we see how well the Toshiba Satellite T135 performs in our tests, and if it is really worth the price premium over a standard netbook

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300

By Scott Stein (cnet.com)

Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same. It's a deceptive world out there, especially since many thin-and-lights trade performance for a stylishly thin chassis, all while marketing a mainstream look that suggests...

Lightweight body, Windows 7 preinstalled, very good battery life

Underperforming single-core CPU, weak speakers

Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but the Satellite T135-S1300 isn't as multimedia-savvy as it seems to be at first glance.

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310WH

By Darren Gladstone (pcworld.com)

Sleek, slim lines ; Crisp, colorful screen

Small-ish touchpad ; Odd build quality around the keyboard

The sweet style and beautiful screen will draw you in, but check the T135's keyboard for yourself before you buy.

Toshiba Satellite T135 - Review of the Toshiba Satellite T135

By Dana Wollman (laptopmag.com)

Attractive design, Fast performance for its class, Slightly less expensive than competing models, Strong wireless range, HDMI output

Stiff, narrow touch button, Long boot time, Weak speakers

Despite being 12.7 x 8.8 x 1.4 inches-in other words, a full-sized notebook-the T135's keyboard feels a bit cramped. Toshiba could have easily fixed this by extending the keyboard from edge to edge, instead of leaving almost an inch on either end of...

The keys themselves are flat and arranged close together, with the right Shift key slightly shrunken and the four arrows wedged into the lower right corner-almost an afterthought
