Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830

CNET Review
The Good: Stylish new design; charges USB devices, even when off.
The Bad: Glossy finish attracts fingerprints; way too much bloatware; Sleep-and-Charge feature is turned off by default.
The Bottom Line: Toshiba's thin-and-light Satellite U405 is a sleek alternative to the 13-inch MacBook, but is weighed down by excessive out-of-the-box bloatware.
