Overview

Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-10H

Editors rating
Rating: 7.0
Verdict

The Satellite Pro U400 has a number of strong points, but the battery life, in particular, is disappointing. It could be a good choice if you need a compact notebook that'll spend most of its time on the desktop. But mobile professionals needing a long-lived system away from mains power may want to look elsewhere.

Typical price

£ 649
