Pocket-Lint: The Toshiba Satellite U840 is the latest consumer Ultrabook from the company and the first to offer a 14-inch display, which was nice and vibrant when we got the chance to see it in action.
The hardware load-out is fairly typical for the latest generation of Ultrabooks, with a third-gen Intel Core processor and up 8GB RAM. There is a 32GB SSD to keep things speedy and 500GB of hard drive on offer.
Engadget - While Toshiba already outed its Haswell plans, the company has chosen today to unveil a few more PCs. The outfit's refreshing its Satellite U and M range in the UK, with the U50t being equipped with a 10-point touchscreen and Windows 8 onboard. The Satellite M50D and M50Dt, meanwhile, boast AMD's latest APU processors and Radeon graphics.
Techradar: The Toshiba U840-10V comes in at the lower end of the price scale for Ultrabooks. Available online for around £650 (around AU$998/US$1,034), it beats the price of the likes of the Asus Zenbook UX31 by a couple of hundred pounds, and the likes of the Samsung Series 9 by enough to buy a whole second laptop.
TrustedReviews: Hands-on: Starting at £899, the Toshiba Satellite U840W is relatively affordable and definitely offers something different to the Ultrabook crowd with its unique 21:9 ‘cinema’ screen, which is great for both movies and productivity. Along with an unusual, attractive and ergonomic design, excellent sound, and a price that won’t break the bank, this makes for an interesting entertainment-oriented contender.
