Both 13.3-inch laptop models are currently some of the most popular ultra-slim laptop models on the market. The Asus UL30A-X5 is slightly more powerful than the Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310, but overall, they’re interchangeable models for average laptop users.
The Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 comes with an Intel Pentium SU4100 (1.3Ghz) processor, 4GB of RAM and 320GB of storage. The Asus UL30A-X5 on the other hand has an Intel Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and 500GB of storage. Both models have an HD screen with the same resolution (1366 x 768). Both models also come with 3 USB ports, an HDMI output, and a memory card reader. That’s where the similarity ends.
The Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 comes with several additional features such as Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity and sleep and charge functionality. On the other hand, the Asus UL30A-X5 laptop also has some features that are not found in the Toshiba model. For example, it comes with built-in SRS Premium Sound speakers from Altec Lansing. It also has a longer battery life, lasting up to 12 hours on a single charge. The Toshiba model can last up to 9 hours on a full charge.
There are also notable differences in their design. The Asus model has a brushed metal finish on its outer casing, while the Toshiba model has a sleek glossy finish. The Asus model is the thinnest and lightest laptop measuring just 0.98 inches thick and weighing 3.74 pounds. Toshiba’s model measures 1.35 inches thick and weighs 3.9 pounds. So what is the best ultra-slim laptop model? Despite their many differences, it can still be difficult to make a choice. The 13.3-inch Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310 has a huge price advantage (it costs around $593 per unit, which is around $100 cheaper than the Asus model). The Asus UL30A-X5, on the other hand, has a better feature set and a gorgeous design. If you have some extra cash to spare, the Asus model will be a great buy.
