Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 Review
Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 is in ‘netbook’ category, because of its small size and 11.6-inch screen with a very high definition display provides sharp viewing.
Its is very good in performance when compared with other netbooks, with 1.3 GHz Intel Pentium SU2700 processor. Very high price when compared to most of the netbooks, outfitted with a webcam, lacking an optical drive are its drawback.The real good news is it has very good battery life. It has a Pentium processor with decent RAM and hard-drive but with a small touch pad and uncomfortable keyboard.It has a pixel resolution of 1366×769 with no feeling of crapping like other netbooks, but built-in audio has low output volume.
Looks And Design
Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105 looks pretty much the same as that of T135 line of Toshiba Satellite laptops. A glossy plastic surrounds the notebook’s inner and outer surfaces and is very thin. The weight of Satellite T115 is very much the same as that of HP Mini 311 and Samsung NC20. Toshiba’s familiar “Fusion” design is imprinted on the machine and the lid and the palm rest are made of up a combination of plastics.

Keyboard
The keys of the machine are flat and the surface is more of a matte in nature than glossy. We found the keys to be a little unsettled and not that solidly constructed. They made noise while typing and the mouse buttons are a bit hard to press.
Battery Life
Solid battery life is one of the major hallmarks of the machine. The battery gives a solid 7 hours of run time which is indeed pretty good.
Though the laptop boasts of decent specs, yet we were a tad disappointed regarding typing and navigating on the machine. You can purchase the machine but I will recommend going for either Toshiba mini NB205 or Lenovo IdeaPad S12.
