Our likes outnumber our dislikes when it comes to the Toshiba Satellite Click 2: It makes few compromises in laptop mode, and it offers good build quality, screen quality, and speakers, along with a solid keyboard and touch pad and respectable battery life. On the minus side, its performance is sufficient for routine tasks only, its screen resolution is low, and we wish the lid didn't wobble so much when attached.

The Toshiba Satellite Click 2 L35W-B3204 sits in between the small, 10-inch, Atom-equipped tablets and the laptop-grade convertible hybrid laptops that cost twice as much. There's definitely a gulf between the small low-powered systems and the expensive laptops, but it's a tough one to fill, and the Click 2 winds up feeling more like an awkward interloper than a natural bridging of the gap. It also makes it tough to categorize, but even when stacked against the Asus Transformer Book T100TA, it comes up wanting. The size and design of the Click 2 is fairly clunky, and the 13-inch tablet is too big for convenience and too heavy for portability. As result, the Asus T100TA remains our Editors' Choice for entry-level detachable Windows tablets with its lower price and mobile design.

A 13.3-inch tablet just isn't my cup of tea, nor am I a fan of bulky laptops. Still, the Click 2 is an okay computer. Its performance and battery life are good for its price range, and its screen is bright and responsive (it just doesn’t have very many pixels). The keyboard dock, on the other hand, is awkward and mistypes often enough to be annoying. I would highly recommend heading out to a store to see and feel the Click 2 for yourself.

Comment
Model:
The Toshiba Satellite Click 2 is a tablet/laptop hybrid that features a tablet with removable keyboard design much like the Microsoft Surface's and Asus T100's. Powered by the quad core 2.16 GHz Intel Pentium processor N3530 with 4 GB of RAM, it does not lack in performance. It has a 13 inch display screen is a 10-point multi touch screen with basic 1366 x 768 resolution, which means that the screen is not as sharp as most screens of the same size. The integrated Intel HD Graphics allows running basic processes and games with ease.
It weighs a comfortable 2.2 kg when attached to the keyboard dock and 1 kg when not attached. The docking keyboard has a flimsy-feeling hinge that wobbles slightly when docked. The tablet part of the Click 2 makes about half of its entire weight, so it does not balance too well on its own. The docking keyboard houses a single USB 3.0 port and that's it. Most of the connections are on the tablet itself including a micro HDMI-out port, an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 port and a headset jack.
Thanks to the power efficient processor, the Click 2 lasts about 8 hours of videos. The tablet features a 500 GB hard drive and should be suitable for those looking for tablet/laptop hybrid with larger screen.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
