Test du Toshiba Satellite U500-1FC indexé le 23 Juillet 2010
Plus : La dalle tactile apporte un vrai plus pour la gestion des images et les applications comme Google Earth. Le moteur est costaud, la connectique riche. Moins : Trop gros, trop lourd et trop peu autonome pour un ultraportable.

Good performance and a generous set of features stand the U500-1EX in good stead, but it's too bulky and cumbersome for genuine mobile use and the touchscreen is largely superfluous. It's still fundamentally a decent laptop, but you're better off with the cheaper, near identical non-touchscreen version.
It may be a tad heavy and have underwhelming standard battery life, but the Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 has plenty of features, performs well for the most part and it's comfortable to use. We'd like it if a more powerful battery was installed by default and we also hope that Toshiba updates the fingerprint software on all its shipping models. We also wish the fingerprint utility would also work with Firefox.
Although the quality of the keyboard lets it down, the Toshiba Satellite U500-178 is a great machine for those wanting to combine their desktop PC and laptop. It’s easily small enough to take to work with you each day, yet provides outstanding office and multimedia performance. A great all-rounder, and well worth a look.
