Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite M840-A780

60% Toshiba Satellite M840 Review
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
Toshiba sells the Satellite M840 for a price of Rs. 41,000, a bit expensive considering the kind of options available in the market. It’s one of the cheaper notebooks running a Core i5 processor. You’ll find other notebooks with a slightly slower processor but with better design and better graphics performance for the same price. The HP Pavillion G6 that we recently reviewed is a good example of that. If CPU performance at a low price is all you’re looking for, then this Satellite M840 will suit you well.

AMD Radeon HD 7670M: Renamed Radeon HD 6650M and therefore still produced in 40nm.

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.

60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
