You won't get a lot of accessories with the T135D, but that's ok by us—we'd prefer to pay less up front and pick out our own accessories. In the box, you will find a Quick Start guide, warranty booklet, resource guide, a few other pieces of propaganda, and the AC adapter and power cable. Toshiba doesn’t include any media with the T135D, but there are instructions on the Quick Start guide for creating your own recovery discs.

Our test unit came preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as well as a number of programs and utilities. Some of these extras are useful, while others we would happily do without. Here's the full list of included software:
