Toshiba Satellite Click hands-on: budget road to nowhere

2013-11-05
hi I'm Scott Stein and we're in a weird world when it comes to Windows 8 laptops and tablets there are a lot of different types a lot of different prices and debatable use in a lot of cases you'd have to credit Toshiba for trying to come up with a budget solution here in the Toshiba Satellite click this sells for $5.99 and comes with a package it sounds like a regular laptop four gigs of RAM 500 gig hard drive and an AMD processor that's a little different than the type you'd seen before but wait is this the perfect solution for you not really because it's number one it's heavy this is a four point eight pound laptop that also converts into a tablet at the flick of a switch look at that but this is 2.8 pounds right here it's a 13 inch tablet it is not exactly pocket-sized feels okay but it only had about three hours of battery life so what are you gonna use this for you're probably gonna dock it right back into that keyboard and speaking of keyboards this keyboard doesn't feel as good as it looks this thing is flat it's cramped it wasn't fun to type on and there were two shivah laptops that have been much better with their keyboards this is not one of them and the keyboard does have any ports on the side what what why well look there's just one USB 3.0 port the rest are tucked up here in the tablet and they're all micro HDMI and micro USB that's not great no Ethernet here so if you dock this into the keyboard you can't use this really as a dock there is a second battery here so you can get up to 6 hours of battery life but on our test we didn't quite get that and the processing power here is not good to put it lightly the a4 AMD processor in here was very sluggish you could do better with a lot of other processors out there you might even better going with an Intel Atom processor on a lower end laptop tablet hybrid if you want to go there or if you want to tablet get a tablet go get an iPad go get a surface go get an Android tablet and maybe just buy a laptop by a regular laptop with touch that has a better keyboard at least that you feel like you'll enjoy this top-heavy weird sort of a product feels like it falls too far in between and is a budget laptop II thing that you are probably not gonna want best thing I can say is it comes with a 500 gigabyte hard drive which can store lots of stuff so there you go this is the Toshiba Satellite click and I don't think it's gonna solve windows 8 problems or yours for that matter
