Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite Radius 14 E45W-C4200

70% An affordable, fully reversible laptop

A Toshiba laptop served as my travel workhorse for several years back in the day. I liked it, but haven’t since used another of the company’s machines. That wasn’t for any particular reason—it was just the way things worked out. However, if the E45W-C4200X is any indication of what the company is up to these days, I may have been missing out.

The Toshiba Radius 14 doesn’t have many competitors. While there are 2-in-1 devices sold at or below $500, almost all of them have a 10-inch or 11-inch display, and most use Intel Atom processors (or similar) rather than Intel Core. Dell’s Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 stands out as the nearest alternative.

At a manufacturer's suggested price of $585, the Satellite Radius 14 has a hard time competing with its less expensive 2-in-1 competition. But at $500 from Best Buy, things get a lot more interesting. At that price you're getting a lot of laptop for the money, including a big 14-inch screen, decent battery life and good CPU performance.

If Toshiba's Satellite Radius 14 had an IPS screen at its low price, this would be nearly a rave review. As is, its best features are its comfortable keyboard, easy-to-use touch pad with quiet clicks, good overall strength, and high-quality Harman/Kardon speakers. It's also a solid everyday performer thanks to its Core i3 processor and 6GB of RAM, although the 500GB hard drive was slow enough to make us feel impatient.

Comment

Model: The Toshiba Satellite Radius 14 E45W-C4200 is a budget friendly laptop. One of its key features is its ability to vary screen positions right up to being a tablet. The brush metal grey finish, black chiclet style keyboard and clean cut lines lends to a classy looking setup. The chassis is solid enough to handle the inherent portability of the Windows 8 system. Its 14 inch HD TruBrite panel features a 16:9 aspect ratio and features good colors and clarity.

The audio quality perfectly complements the display with the Harman/Kardon stereo speakers tuned by DTS sound. On-board the Toshiba Satellite Radius 14 E45W-C4200 is an Intel Core i3-5015U dual-core processor clocked at 2.1 GHz, 6 GB of DDR3L SDRAM, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a 500 GB HDD as internal storage. The laptop just weighs 2.04 kg (4.5 pounds) and comes with a card reader, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI port and a webcam. Battery life on the laptop is supplied by 3-cell pack rated at 45 Wh.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

5015U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.

Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.


67.5%: 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.
