Toshiba Creates Another Great Business Laptop

Posted Jul. 27th, 2010 by Jeremy Ashburn

Let’s look into what Best Buy offers for the business professional. Best Buy’s Toshiba T235-S1352 is a great business laptop because it’s lightweight, has super long battery life, and is will adequately multitask with its peppy dual core processors. The T235-S1352 is has a 13.3″ LCD screen (1366 x 768 resolution) that can play 720p content. The machine comes with a 1.2GHz (Intel U5400) processor that and the Intel HD on-board graphics card; surprisingly it will play full blue ray/high def movies at 1080p. Inside you’ve got 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a larger 320GB (5400RPM SATA) hard drive. The battery life is now up to 8hours, 33 minutes; a definite improvement from the older generation. Also included is an integrated webcam/microphone set and a HDMI output for transmitting to a compatible HDTV set. Other specs include Multiformat media reader, Wireless N & WiFi, 4 USB ports (3 USB v2.0 ports and 1eSATA/USB combo), 1 VGA port, 1 HDMI output port, 1 headphone out and 1 microphone in jack. It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. The thing weighs 3.9 pounds and is a little over 1-inch thick.

The Toshiba T235-S1352 is now priced $579 at Best Buy. It’s a store item (not an outlet item) so you can buy it locally if it’s in stock. User Opinions
The Toshiba T235-S1352 only have 2 reviews with a 5 Star rating at Bestbuy.com. Toshiba released the T235 line in this past July so this is still a relatively new product. I’m not surprised that it hasn’t built up a lot of new reviews yet. Take a look at this page to see Toshiba’s own specs on the machine. Here’s the two opinions thus far:

I went into Best Buy looking for a netbook and got this Toshiba instead. It almost as small as a netbook but it has the better qualities of a full-sized laptop. I have a 17 inch Toshiba and now I have this Toshiba and neither laptop from this company has ever let me down. I am very impatient when it comes to computers and this one is definitely making the cut. It is fast, runs so smoothly, the display is amazing, runs windows 7 amazingly and it is so easy to carry around! Definitely get it especially if you need a light laptop because you’re always on the move.
I took a chance on this computer and ordered it before I could find any online reviews. I’m glad I did. It rocks. Best keyboard I’ve ever used. System is snappy once the usual bloatware is removed. Great screen and the whole system is thin and lite. No real downside so far.
