The T135 is Toshiba's thinnest and lightest Satellite model yet, offering a 13.3inch screen and weighing only 3.9lbs. The laptop has been engineered to provide the convenience of a standard size laptop in a more sleep, ultra thin package.
It comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (32-bit version) allowing for a faster and more reliable performance. (More information on Windows 7). It also comes with additional software, including Norton Internet Security 2009 (30-day trial), Toshiba PC Health Monitor, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Edition (60-day trial), Windows Media Player, Google Toolbar, WildTangent Orb Game Console.
The attention to detail allows this laptop to provide the ultimate package for the every day user. The full sized keyboard and touchpad enable greater flexibility to browse and control whats happening on-screen with gesture commands. The laptop's 1.3 megapixel digital web camera - built into the LCD's bezel - lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. It also boasts Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities-the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. No need to keep remembering and changing passwords - just show your face to the webcam and it will automatically log you on! Great if you're using one laptop for several users -say for the whole family or for a small business- the Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.
The integrated N Wi-Fi networking capabilities, provides up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range using 802.11n-compatible routers. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found at Wi-Fi hotspots and in older home routers). The Bluetooth connectivity (version 2.1 + EDR) enables you to communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled devices such as PDAs and mobile phones and because of the embedded A2DP profile, you are also able to stream music to compatible Bluetooth-enabled headphones and speakers.
The T135 hard drive protection is also invaluable. The portable nature of laptops exposes a real threat to knocks and bumps that can cause real damage. This model features a 3D accelerometer monitoring system that detects freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated HDD to secure against loss of personal data. Other toshiba innovations include a USB sleep and charge port that allows you to charge your electronic devices - like your phone or MP3 player - even when the laptop is turned off!
