Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite P745-S4250
Consumer conscious. Toshiba’s latest laptop touts solid multimedia-friendly features and specifications backed by a Core i5-2410M CPU, but cost-cutting doesn't do the Satellite any favors.

Archive.org versionThe Toshiba Satellite P745-S4250 has plenty of processing power with its Intel Core i5-2410M processor for all your work, multimedia and entertainment needs and comes in a nice portable size of 14-inches. With a large 750GB hard drive and about 6-hours worth of battery life, this laptop should make a decent travel companion. It also boasts great audio sound with its Harmon/Kardon stereo speakers with Dolby and Wave audio enhancements. But priced at $779.99, the build doesn’t feel as solid, the trackpad design could be improved for better comfort, and Bluetooth support is oddly missing.

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.

75%: 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.
