Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-S1001V

CNET Review
The Good: Sturdy and attractive design; Penyn-class Core 2 Duo processor; open DIMM slot should you want to add more memory; great keyboard and soft, quiet mouse buttons; can charge USB devices, even when off.
The Bad: Meager allotment of memory holds back performance; glossy screen might put off some business users; brutally bad speakers.
The Bottom Line: Double down on the memory and the 13-inch Toshiba Satellite U400-S1001X becomes a well-rounded laptop that will withstand the rigors of business travel.
