This is your standard compact clamshell laptop: a 14-inch,
1,366x768-pixel screen, Intel Core i5 CPU, 6GB of RAM, a 750GB hard
drive, and a DVD drive to boot. Upgraded Harman/Kardon speakers and an
aluminum body place this Toshiba on the upper tier of Satellites (as the
P series name implies, in case you follow Toshiba taxonomy). A wide
clickpad like those seen on recent Satellite ultrabooks aims to make
Windows 8 gestures easier, too.
So, how does touch on a laptop work? I'm not sure on one this big. The distance from the screen to my hand often meant reaching over the keyboard and occasionally scraping the trackpad, a problem I can see many dealing with. On the other hand, this Satellite is one of the most complete and compact designs I've seen in a while.
The Satellite P845t will be available October 26. The only
question is whether this touch-enabled version is significantly more
expensive than a touch-free laptop; if so, I could see a lot of people
hesitating to get touchy.toshiba satellite p845
