Toshiba Satellite T130-14T

The Satellite series is comprised of T130 in Germany and Austria currently 3 models. These differ with regard to CPU (Pentium Pentium SU2700 or SU4100), hard disk size and available Bluetooth option. Since both processors have the same power dissipation, are not differences in terms of battery life or emissions between different models likely. But the SU4100 can trump compared with SU2700 with two cores, so models that are equipped with dual-CPU, can be expected depending on the application a bit more performance.

Already in the UK before we find a slightly larger model selection. In addition to another processor option, the Intel Core 2 Solo ULV SU3500 CPU, but offered only in terms of color for more variety.

In the U.S., however, the corresponding models are denoted by Satellite T135. The model T135-S1310 meets there in much of our Toshiba Satellite T130-14T test model. In the U.S. you have to but in this model with a smaller hard drive by ‘only’ 320 GB capacity to make do. The Austrian / German top model, by contrast, offers 500 GB more space for user data.

A touch of elegance, which certainly attracts dirt magically, has missed the Toshiba Satellite T130. Within a short time, it is überseht even without external influences of the user from dust particles. In addition, the gloss has a negative impact on the feel of the palm rest and the input devices.

While we are satisfied with the typing comfort of the keyboard, the touchpad at first turns out to be quite used to. There are also other disadvantages of the slimline casing made of plastic. On an optical drive will be needed for reasons of space omitted, as the temperature development is not optimal. With reflecting the mobility of the laptop screen is unnecessarily restricted. On his part, slightly ameliorated the glossy surface measurements can not hide as well.

For the Satellite T130 scores with a long battery life and low power consumption. Similarly, one can be satisfied with the application’s performance.

The target group of consumers are 13.3-inch model with a focus on long battery life and adequate application performance. For the excessive use as a home cinema, it is suitable, however only after connecting an external DVD drive. However, it can be connected only via such a USB interface. For this you can watch movies through HDMI also suitably equipped big screen televisions. Charged with the sleep and charge function of the left USB port can also be switched off, the T130 small appliances such as satellite audio player. Compared with the similarly equipped UL30A from Asus, but it cuts off both in terms of battery life as well as the poor performance and value for money.
