The machine is a Intel CULV powered ultraportable one which shows off of long battery life and thin chassis. The machine is an alternative to those who are looking for features found in netbooks but are not ready to purchase netbooks. Check out our exclusive Toshiba Satellite T135 notebook review to know what the phone has in store for you.

Toshiba Satellite T135 Looks And Design

The machine is an stylish ultraportable which looks very much like a standard notebook from the top, but when you see it from the side then it is much thinner. Build quality of the machine is quite good despite its thin chassis.

Flex and squeaks are kept to a minimum and thanks to the subtle finish, it does not attract fingerprints. The screen cover too feels durable and inspite of the glossy finish, the machine is protected against fingerprints. With the machine weighing 3.8 pounds and measuring 12.7 x 8.8 x 1.4 inches, the machine can be held on one hand. If you are looking forward to upgrade Satellite T135’s memory and other components, there should not be any kind of problem. All you need to do is to remove standard screws and then swap the components.

Toshiba Satellite T135 Display

The machine sports a 13.3 inches LED backlit screen which displays pictures of resolution measuring 1366×768 pixels. Color saturation is above average but the contrast ratio is really weak. Viewing angles of the notebook are above average. Vertical viewing angles start to show color distortion when tilted 15 degrees or more while horizontal viewing angles start to show distortion at about 45 degrees. The colors however appear clear, but outdoor visibility is affected from the reflections from the surface panel. Watching videos on Satellite T135 is an average experience. As the viewing angles are not good hence two persons cannot sit and enjoy a movie.

Toshiba Satellite T135 Keyboard

The machine features a full-sized keyboard which provides great support under strong pressure. The palm rest appeared perfect to rest my wrists. The keys are very responsive and typing is a delight on the new keyboard. However, we felt that the keys are a bit too close to each other and Toshiba could have slightly widened them. Typing noise was minimal and it is very easy to type long documents.

Toshiba Satellite T135 Touchpad

The touchpad was a bit of disappointment as it had a slow refresh rate. We were also disappointed to note that the touchpad has a narrow touch button and we felt that touchpad buttons could have been improved. The touchpad felt a tad stiff and we expected Toshiba to equip the machine with a better touchpad.
