Up until now, the only first-rate ultraportable that Toshiba offered was the Portégé R200, but its hefty price tag and laggard performance were definite turn-offs.

That's all about to change. At $1,350 street, the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5022 puts price and performance in perspective. An ultraportable that weighs just over 4 pounds and carries dual-core components as well as a built-in DVD burner, it can serve as a fully equipped notebook for those who hit the road regularly.

The U205-S5002, a version with a slower processor, sells for $1,199.99 direct.

It's been a long while since we've seen a Toshiba notebook in the TR labs, so we thought we'd correct this by getting in one of its latest range of Satellite Pro notebooks. Toshiba is still very much one of the larger players in notebooks and anyone that's looking for a portable computer at a reasonable price is likely to have a Toshiba on their shortlist.

Two things struck me straight away when examining the Satellite Pro A100 for the first time. Its size and finish clearly mark it out as a mid-priced notebook, but also that it had some interesting touches that mark it out from the generic-chassised notebook horde.

The notebook is on the large side and the grey plastic which curves down at the front is not that inspiring. However, the black speaker grilles above the keyboard are thin and wide, which looks good and are helped by the presence of a Harman/Kardon logo next to them. They sound pretty good too, with lots of detail and no distortion, though there’s no bass to speak of.

Toshiba's ultra-portable notebook, the Satellite U200, with a 12.1" screen and weighing in at only 4.1lbs offers affordability, durability, mobility and power. It has the same chassis and components as the Tecra M6, which was designed for business users. However, since the U200 is part of the Satellite series it is geared more towards the average user.

Over the past two months I have been looking for a notebook that was light and durable enough to carry to school everyday in my back pack, but be powerful and feature-rich. I have looked seriously at the Compaq V2650CA, Acer 5502, Toshiba Satellite UF0H, and the Toshiba Satellite M100. Out of these, I found the M100 to have the better build, however I thought the weight and dimensions to be too high.

The Satellite U200 is also sold as the Toshiba Satellite U205 in the U.S.

Finally, I came across the U200 on Toshiba's web-site. The quality build of this practical looking, light and feature-rich machine won me over.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this laptop. It is great for me to carry around, take on flights or to school everyday. It's a great laptop for business but also has a lot of consumer oriented features. The widescreen is great for viewing worksheets side-by-side or watching movies. The fingerprint reader provides extra security for the business user.

I'd recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a notebook that is very durable, light and powerful. It's not too expensive price makes it a good option for the business user or student, looking for portability, durability, and performance, but not gaming.
