Welcome to a Laptop Ac Adapter specialist of the IBM Ac Adapter
The powerful quad-core chip will delight games fans – it can handle any game you throw at it. Even complicated 3D games ran beautifully smoothly – and it’s futureproof too. Mind you, you can pick up the Asus Nexus 7, which has the same amount of power – for half the price.
Battery life is important if you’re always taking your device out and about – the battery life for the AT300 is pretty average – you’ll get about six hours of video viewing, so you might want to carry a charger with you.
There’s a five-megapixel snapper onboard, which also boasts LED flash. Snaps came out a tad fuzzy when shown on the monitor or TV, but they’re okay. If you want to make Skype calls, there’s a front-facing two-megapixel snapper.
The tablet market is remarkably full – but the Toshiba AT300 does boast quad-core power and a really responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen. It’s a good choice for apps and games fans. The display is not as bright as that on rivals such as the Apple iPad, but Toshiba’s Resolution+ feature makes a difference – plus there’s plenty of onboard storage.
Without any room in the budget for dedicated graphics, the Toshiba’s not one for lunchtime gaming sessions, either. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 core is fine for watching the occasional HD video, or running a secondary monitor, but it scored just 14fps in our Low quality Crysis test.
The benefit of such modest performance should be long battery such as IBM 02K5669 Ac Adapter , IBM Thinkpad 290 Ac Adapter , IBM 92P1025 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad R51 Ac Adapter , IBM 40Y7668 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad T60 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad Z60 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad T40 Ac Adapter , IBM 92P1021 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad 600 Ac Adapter , IBM ThinkPad T42 Ac Adapter , IBM 08K8209 Ac Adapter life, but here the Toshiba disappoints. Despite the low-voltage processor, the Satellite Pro’s 4,200mAh battery lasted only 5hrs 21mins in our light-usage test. With larger 15.6in models routinely sailing past the six-hour mark, the Toshiba’s well behind the budget frontrunners.
There’s little to get excited about elsewhere. The 5,400rpm 500GB hard disk and DVD writer are standard fare at this price. The included 802.11n wireless chipset is single-band only, but the presence of Gigabit Ethernet is welcome. The “Pro” suffix at the end of this machine’s name suggests that Toshiba has designed this machine for the office, but there’s no sign of a fingerprint reader, Intel vPro, TPM or any other corporate features.
For just £413 inc VAT, the Toshiba is small, light, and just about sturdy enough to carry around from day to day. It’s far from a perfect purchase, however. It’s only got the power and screen to cope with basic Windows applications, and, if you can forgo the optical drive, there’s stiff competition from Dell’s slim, capable Vostro 3360. Those after an unfussy workhorse may find the Toshiba fits the bill, but, be in no doubt, this is as basic as business laptops get.
