Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite U50t-A-10F
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
Most Ultrabooks have small screens and limited native connectivity so they’re not ideal for business use. Toshiba’s Satellite U50T aims to be the exception - featuring a 15in display, 21mm chassis and a comprehensive set of connections. The Satellite U50T provides good mid-range performance at a competitive price. It got good connectivity, but there is a major trade-off when it comes to screen quality.

Retailing at £700, it’s pretty hard to fault the Toshiba U50T-A-10F provided that this is definitely what you’re looking for: a 15.6-inch Ultrabook is unusual, and many will see that as negating the point of the format. But the extra space is put to good use, even if the screen is weak and low resolution -- a battery that lasts over seven hours and charges very quickly is something that any laptop buyer should look for.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
