Toshiba Satellite U405-S2820: budget laptop features small case, long battery life.(REVIEWS: LAPTOPS)(Product/service evaluation)(Brief article)
STRONG BATTERY LIFE AND BRIEFCASE-FRIENDLY dimensions make the $949.99 Toshiba Satellite U405-$2820 a good budget contender--as long as you don't need a performance powerhouse.
The Satellite U405-S2820 is like a shrunken version of the Satellite A305-S6845 we recently reviewed. Both have the same attractive, fingerprint-prone finish, as well as the same shimmering media control panel, glossy keyboard, and uncomfortably warm touch pad set flush to the chassis.

At 5.5 pounds, the system was unobtrusive during our long walks, and its 13.3-inch, 1,280x800-resolution display was certainly bright and clear enough to see in even the moodiest coffee shop. In addition to the standard selection of ports and slots, the notebook includes 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, but no Bluetooth support. You also get a fingerprint reader, a Webcam, and a roomy 250GB hard drive, plus microphone and headphone jacks. (You'll need the latter to compensate for the unit's weak speakers.)
