The New(Smallish) Hotness in Laptops Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1325

0 comments
So the current state of my computing power consists of my nice fat hand built AMD powered PC at home, my MSI Wind U100 netbook and my Android phone on Verizon. The Android is holding down the pocket computing quite nicely. There isn't much I can't do on the phone. In fact with the exception of one or two e-mails so far all of my management of the video game I'm trying to get developed has happened on the phone. I haven't used my desktop PC at all in the last month or so. Most of my computing happens on my work laptop or the MSI Wind. I spend huge quantities of time on the work computer each week and the rest of the time I use the Wind. The Wind functions extremely well for doing nothing but browsing web pages and may be watching the occasional SD youtube.com video. However it falls flat on it's face as soon as a video goes HD or full screen. It also fails in the size of the screen. It's like trying to watch video or view images with any detail on my phone, which is probably the phones only down fall. Which brings me to the solution.

This is the Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1325. This wee beasty is 13.3" in screen size and slightly larger over all. It's sporting a new processor from AMD that is looking to put the hurt on the currently dominating Intel Atom processor. The name of the processor definitely doesn't do it justice. It's called the AMD Turion Neo X2. The processor is currently running at 1.6Ghz which is similar to most Intel Atom processors but the key is that it is a dual core processor similar to the larger Intel Core 2 and "i" based chips. So basically you get twice the computing power in the same space as what the current Atom processors take up in a laptop. This is more than enough power to run HD youtube videos and probably even pull off some decent quality gaming. This bad boy packs in all the expected features for a high end netbook with one curious exception. No built in blue tooth for some odd reason. This means if you need bluetooth you have to give up one of your free USB ports to one of those micro bluetooth adapters. That aside I don't think you can get a better portable computer for the price. Full spec sheet and video after the break.
