Toshiba Satellite U840W hands on review

Toshiba Satellite U840W – keyboard and touchpad

The backlighting on the U840W's tiled keyboard was a welcome feature at the dimly-lit press event and typing was easy enough though we found the key travel to be a little too shallow for our tastes.

The large multitouch touchpad packs in the standard swipe, pinch and zoom functions and we found its size to be quite generous and ideal for large-fingered gadgeteers.
