There have been rumours of a new version of the Toshiba Portege for some time now and it seems that the new Satellite U840 could fit the bill! It is a new light and slim ultrabook, finished in a lovely aluminium effect, running Windows 7 and powered by an Intel i5 processor, now that sounds like a Portege replacement and therefore we need to take a closer look at it.
The Satellite U840 has a 14.0 inch widescreen high definition LED Backlit Display that supports 720p, 16:9 aspect ratio with a 1366 x 768 of pixel resolution and there is even room for a built in web camera and microphone.
It will be powered by the middle of the range Intel ULV Core i5-2467M processor that offers 1.60 GHz to 2.30 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB and a 3 MB L2 Cache and supports the Intel HM65 Express Chipset. While the graphics are from the Intel HD Graphics 3000 card with 1696 MB, total 64 MB dedicated memory + 1632 MB shared memory. There is a handy 8 GB of DDR3 RAM made up with 4 GB + 4 GB at 1333 Mhz and the storage is provided by the Hybrid 320 GB at 5400 rpm and in keeping with the ultrabook theme, there is a useful 16 GB solid state drive (SSD).
Networking is provided by the usual 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and the 10/100 Mbps LAN Ethernet option. As for connectivity there are three USB Ports 2 x standard USB 2.0 and 1 x fast USB 3.0 plus Sleep & Charge, there is also an HDMI port and support for the Intel WiDi wireless video streaming technology. It will be running on the Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) operating system with service pack 1, weighs in at a light 1.73 kg and finally it measures a slim 342 mm (W) x 232 mm (D) x 19.9 mm (H).
The Satellite U840 has shown up on the Toshiba website in Australia and New Zealand with a starting price tag of around $1,600 USD, no news of a US launch though so far!
