| Bottom line | Toshiba's experimental extra-wide-screen ultrabook gets a
Windows 8 software upgrade, but it turns the Toshiba Satellite U845W into a computer imperfectly matched for what Windows 8 has to offer. | While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013. | The VivoBook S500CA offers a big-screened touch-screen
Windows 8 laptop for a bargain price -- and without many extras. |
