Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305WH
Like all other consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV)-equipped laptops that came before it, the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1305WH ($649.98 list, available at Staples) measures less than an inch thick and runs on an ultra low-powered processor. Since the last time I reviewed this system (namely, the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300, Toshiba has bumped up the Intel Pentium processor to a dual core version and the hard drive to 320GB. Performance is good, battery life is very good, but compared with other CULV laptops it's the least attractive looking, with a counterproductive pair of mouse buttons. The Asus UL30A-A1 and UL80Vt-A1 are much better alternatives.
