Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Click Mini L9W-B-102
Netbook 2.0 Current tablets with docking solutions could be what netbooks were a few years ago: compact companions with long battery runtimes that can be used for multimedia contents as well as productive tasks. Toshiba relies on a very small size, two batteries, a high resolution and a dock with a USB type A port. A recipe for success?

Archive.org versionThe Toshiba Satellite Click Mini is close to being a great device, but it's let down by odd speaker design, below-average battery life, and a keyboard that may annoy some people. If you think these niggles won’t bother you, though, it's a decent enough buy for under £190. For other options check out our regularly-updated Best budget laptops.

Archive.org versionThe Click Mini is very cheap, especially considering it comes with a free one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365, but this isn’t enough to overcome its main failing and it is one that hybrids consistently face: it tries to be both tablet and laptop, and ends up not doing either particularly well.

Archive.org versionToshiba has created an incredible value full HD laptop that doubles as a tablet. It's perfect for frequent travellers, students taking notes in lectures, workers in meetings and people on a budget. This machine is well built, runs smoothly and fast, and while it's not as impressive as say an iPad Air battery-wise, it still holds up, lasting longer than a traditional laptop and over an hour longer in our benchmarks than a Yoga Tablet 2.

Archive.org versionThe Toshiba Satellite Click Mini fiddles with the budget hybrid formula, injecting a high-res screen into a miniature scale. But after the 13-inch not-so-mini Toshiba Click, this follow-up really does feel extra small. For us it's too dinky, so unless you're a pre-teen or have rather petite hands you'll likely think the same. Typing and using the trackpad feels very cramped and won't do your joints any favours in the long-run - especially if you're after a serious portable typing tool.

Archive.org versionThere are even stereo speakers, which sit on either side of the tablet part. They’re fairly weedy-sounding, but at least they get you a bit of a sense of stereo. Overall the Click Mini is a bit like what you might get if you took a netbook from the late-noughties, made the screen removable and updated all the insides and the screen spec. And maybe that’s what some people are after.

Archive.org versionThe screen quality is also good and rarely matched at this price range. The budget IPS panel is harmless to your eyes, it has wide viewing angles, it’s bright enough and has a good color reproduction. Nevertheless, the whole visual experience is ruined due to the huge screen bezels. The 8.9-inch diagonal could have easily been 10-inch. So our final thoughts on the device are mainly positive and, to be honest, for €300 you get a bonus docking station with extra battery and physical keyboard – something you can rarely see in budget tablets.

Comment
Model: The Toshiba Satellite Click Mini L9W-B-102 is a device that can play the role of a laptop and tablet. With a detachable screen and a solid hinge system, the laptop can be transformed easily. The design is kept slim and simple with a thick black bezel surrounding the 8.9 inch 16:10 multi-touch display. The chassis comes in pearl white and the docking section contains a black tile-style keyboard. Weighing in just 978 g with the keyboard attachment, the Toshiba Satellite Click Mini L9W-B-102 is certainly portable yet fairly capable thanks to the quality hardware.
The Windows 8.1 device comes with an Intel Atom Z3735F processor clocked at 1.33 GHz, 2 GB DDR3L RAM, an Intel HD Graphics GPU with shared memory and an internal storage of 32 GB utilizing SSD technology. The Toshiba Satellite Click Mini L9W-B-102 also comes with a micro HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port, an SD card slot and stereo speakers. There are two cameras on-board the device; a 5 MP Full HD rear camera with auto-focus and a secondary 2 MP web camera. Battery life is decent with a 2-cell Lithium-Ion Polymer pack that enables up to 13 hours usage in laptop mode and up to 7 hours usage in tablet mode.
Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):
Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Z3735F: SoC with an integrated quad-core Atom processor clocked up to 1.83 GHz, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a single channel DDR3L-RS-1333 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

68.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
