Even though its performance is lower than expected, so is its price. At $749, it’s more than half the price of a Dell(Dell Inspiron 1520 battery) Adamo, MacBook Air, or ThinkPad T400s. Of course, the IdeaPad U350’s real competitors are the budget-range MSI X340 ($799 as originally reviewed) and Acer Aspire 3810T ($899), but it’s also cheaper than either of those.
The M305 does feature wireless A/b/g/ and also houses a 1.3m effective webcam at the top of the LCD. This is becoming a pretty standard feature now, but it’s still nice to see it at this price point.
Something that is missing however, is that this model does NOT come with an internal Bluetooth device. Something that I feel is sort of a skimp on Toshibas(Satellite A70-S2362 battery) end, being classified more to the ultramobile, I think this should and could easily be remedied, but it’s something to note.
The Vaio NW125 uses a standard six-cell battery and lasted 2 hours, 49 minutes on CNET Labs’ demanding Sony VAIO PCG-FR130 battery drain test. In anecdotal testing, with the laptop running under typical usage scenario, we didn’t surpass the 3-hour mark. That’s fairly disappointing, when you consider smaller laptops at or near the NW125’s price use extended-cell batteries, which greatly lengthen the time you can spend away from a wall outlet.
Your mileage may vary and it’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things anyhow. The fact that the button exists at all is a great touch on HP(HP Compaq Presario B1903TU battery)’s part.
