Toshiba Satellite M645-S4118x - Specs & Features
The M645-S4118X has a plastic chassis with Toshiba's Fusion finish—a textured pattern that prevents fingerprints and smudges. It's a familiar look for Toshiba, as it's the same look shared across the entire Toshiba Satellite line-up. Given that nearly identical Toshiba laptops have been coming through PC Labs for over a year, it would be nice to see Toshiba update this design. In terms of dimensions, the Satellite M645-S4118X was fairly ordinary, measuring 1.4 by 13.3 by 9 inches (HWD). It weighs 4.9 pounds, which is average for the 14-inch category, but considerably lighter than the 5.5-pound HP Envy 14-1210NR ($999.99 list, 4 stars). The M645-S4118X also comes equipped with a spacious 640GB 5,400rpm hard drive. This speed is fairly common for 14-inch systems, but a faster hard drive can occasionally be found. I wouldn't fret about the speed of the drive, it's larger than the 500GB drive found in the Gateway ID49C13u ($680 street, 4 stars), but not as large as the 750GB drive found in the HP Envy 14-1210NR. If more storage space is needed, you can take advantage of the speedy USB 3.0 connection found on the side of the laptop. Your own photos and videos can be uploaded quickly thanks to a built-in multiple format card reader (SD, MMC, MS/Pro/Duo). A wireless Bluetooth 3.0 connection will also let you connect everything from your smartphone to headphones with a speedy cordless connection.
