Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Click W35Dt-AST2N01

30% Toshiba Satellite Click review
Source: Digital Trends Archive.org version
At a quick glance, the Toshiba Satellite Click seems like an intriguing low-priced, attractive detachable best fit for basic tasks. For what it’s worth, the Click certainly sports aesthetics that are much more attractive than what we typically see in this price range, and we’d take the system’s mediocre keyboard and touchpad for text input over an on-screen keyboard any day.

40% Toshiba Satellite Click Review
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
With the $599 Satellite Click, Toshiba sought to create a low-cost Windows 8 hybrid for the masses. We like the bright 13-inch display, loud speakers and long battery life this device offers in laptop mode. Unfortunately, while the Click's AMD A4 processor runs cool, don't expect much more than netbook-like performance.

The tablet-laptop hybrid scenery is a major result of the Windows 8’s dual personality characteristics. Most of these devices out there tend to provide a compromising solution to what is supposed to be a laptop or a tablet. The Toshiba Satellite Click W35Dt-AST2N01 is no different from the rest. It tries to provide the portability of a tablet with the functions of a laptop in one device with a rather low price. It uses an AMD A4 ULV processor, which is the main reason for its low price tag. With this processor, a fan is not needed, which results in a silent device. The downside of using ULV processor is the low performance, which does not meet the requirements of regular laptop users or gamers.

The Click’s 13.3-inch 1366x768 LED display delivers relatively clear and crisp images and neat viewing angles. The detachable keyboard, which alike Asus Andriod tablets provides extra battery life, distinguishes it from a tablet. The combined battery life gives users 8 hours of normal usage. The keyboard is not the best of its kind but it does the job and it also features a single USB 3.0 port on its right edge as well as a power port on its left edge. The Click certainly spots much more features typically seen in this price range. As a hybrid solution, it does not meet its purpose with low performance and weight and dimensions of an oversized-portable device.

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.

35%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
