At the end of the day Toshiba left consumers with an interesting pair of options for a thin-and-light notebook with a 13-inch display. The Intel-based Satellite T135 offers good performance, a nice notebook design, and great battery life for $700. On the other hand, the AMD-based T135D delivers better performance with day-to-day tasks and an identical design for only $600.

The Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 ultraportable laptop is a slim, sleek package with a dual-core AMD chip that offers some pleasant surprises while making a few compromises. If you're willing to trade some performance for good battery life and a sweet screen, the Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 is a good candidate for an ultraportable mobile companion. It's easy on the eyes whether it's open or closed, and if you can live with the small keys, the T135D-S1324 should serve you well.

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, accented with a subtle carbon-fiber graphic, can be a magnet for fingerprints and smudges; but the unit's subtle curves and smart tapering down (from about 1.5 inches in back to just over a half inch in the front) make it a good design for carrying in your hand or in a bag. The T135D-S1324 is an easily packable laptop ideal for light-duty office, home, and travel use.

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 a higher-powered dual-core processor such as the U4100 in the T135-S1310 made a big difference in the amount of productivity we could expect in a slim laptop with strong battery life. 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.

At $599, the AMD-powered Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 gives you a strong bump in graphics performance. However, the $699 Intel ULV-powered version of this notebook lasts over two hours more on a charge, so it comes down to what you value most. In the 13-inch notebook class we prefer the ASUS UL30A, which costs only $50 more than the T135D when purchased via Amazon yet offers nearly 10 hours of battery life and bettery ergonomics.

Last fall, Toshiba entered the affordable ultraportable market with the $699 Satellite T135-S1310. Like the Lenovo IdeaPad U350, Asus UL30A-A1, MSI X340, and others, it delivered basic computing abilities in a 13.3-inch chassis—perfect for those who wanted a take-anywhere machine with a larger screen and keyboard than a netbook can provide, without the high price typical of cutting-edge ultraportables. With this laptop, Toshiba brings the AMD Turion Neo chip to the budget-ultraportable party. This 13.3-inch machine has a sharp design and some nice extras, not to mention decent performance.

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Furthermore, it supports Hybrid CrossfireX (for accelleration) and PowerXpress(to save current) with a dedicated graphics adapter (of the HD 3000 line). Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.
Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.

1.7 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
