http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_t115.jpgToshiba's new 11.6-inch Satellite T115 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/satellitet115/) and 13.3-inch Satellite T135 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/satellitet135/) won't be the flashiest thin-and-light notebooks on the market, but they're an economical entry point into the increasingly popular class of casual-use, ultraportable laptops.
At less and inch thick and weighing in under four pounds, both new Satellites are portable, have 720p native resolution displays and cost as little as $450. The processor options aren't anything to go crazy over, but with the optional Intel Pentium SU4100 the notebooks can achieve up to nine hours of battery life.
They won't be your best bet for a primary computer, and I wouldn't ask them to do too much heavy lifting, but at the lower ranges the Satellite T100 series (http://gizmodo.com/tag/satellitet100series/) appears to offer better than average value.
Toshiba's thinnest and lightest Satellite laptops, T100 series laptops are ultrathin PCs built for everyday mobility. Delivering more performance than a netbook, and less weight and more battery life than standard laptops, Satellite T100 series laptops are design engineered for life on-the-go. With two screen sizes to choose from (11.6" and 13.3") and now equipped with a dual-core AMD processor plus ATI Radeon HD graphics, Satellite T100 series laptops offer full-range performance for productive multi-tasking and digital entertainment enjoyment in a sleek, thin and ultraportable package.
