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.
