Cheap Ultrabook

Est. $800
Estimated Price

Faster, lighter, longer battery life: The Toshiba Satellite U845T-S4168 basically defines what an $800 Ultrabook should be, experts say. Its lightweight aluminum body, great 14-inch touch screen and marathon battery life impress critics. With the same guts as many $900-plus Ultrabooks -- a Core i5 processor, 6 GB of RAM and a 128 GB solid-state drive -- it's just as powerful, too.
