Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324 Review



We continued our testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA 2009, the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. We ran four of the built-in subsystem tests (CPU Arithmetic, Multimedia, Memory Bandwidth, and Physical Disc Test). All of the scores reported below were taken with the processor running at its default clock speed of 1.6GHz with 4GB of DDR2 RAM.

In most of these tests, the T135D was a middle-of-the-road contender. For an ultraportable system, the numbers are decent, and real-world performance was acceptable.


To test multimedia capabilities, we attempt to play back a 720p WMVHD clip and a 1080p clip.

The T135D played our HD test files just fine, and even though the CPU was taxed, the movie trailers played back smoothly without hiccups.
