Review Toshiba Satellite U840W 21:9 Ultrabook

Moviebook. Those believing that notebook manufacturers are done innovating are obviously wrong. Toshiba recently rolled out the Satellite U840W - the first Ultrabook with a theater-like 21:9 aspect ratio. Is this a notebook specifically for movie...

high quality chassis ; keyboard backlight ; better overview of display area ; very high sound quality ; good battery life

meager port selection ; small keys ; frustrating touchpad

Review: Toshiba Satellite U840W

Its unusually wide display gives this Toshiba Ultrabook a novelty vibe, though it's really not that much different from a typical Ultrabook.

Clean design; impressive-sounding speakers; extra-large 14.4-inch widescreen display; good battery life

No optical drive; extra-wide screen may not work well with video streaming services; uncomfortable keyboard; screen height smaller than average 13-inch laptop

(Credit:Sarah Tew/CNET) The Toshiba Satellite U840W is an odd-duck hybrid laptop, awide-screen movie-friendly Ultrabook that lacks a DVD or Blu-ray drive.Its extra-wide screen could be useful for some, but no one really needsa screen this wide. Any...
