Toshiba Satellite T115 nice appearance at first sight, but the glossy plastic casing is a fingerprint magnet is horrible, so you'll want to keep the cloth handy if you're distracted by the stain. The 11.3 x 8.3 x 1.4-inch notebook is only a hair larger and heavier than the Acer Aspire 1410. Despite the plastic body, T115 does not feel or look cheap. He struck us as very solid, but slim. Plaid design extends across the touchpad. Under the seat bar length mouse design that flows into a row of status lights. Housing for 6-cell battery to increase the unit about half an inch, resulting in sloping gently. Although thin design, this notebook has a hot exhaust system is quite good.
Toshiba T115 touchpad surface measuring 3.0 x 1.5 inches, equivalent to a wide touchpad on the Toshiba NB205 mini. It's just a little rough. Toshiba Satellite Notebook Touchpad T115 supports multitouch.
As expected on the 11.6-inch system,
Notebook keyboard is close to full size with a button in middle relief. Shortened the right Shift key is placed-though really cram in a dedicated Page Up and Page Down buttons. The Enter key also smaller than usual, and the Alt and Ctrl on the right are very small that can hardly be used. On the left side Alt, Fn key and the Windows are all very thin, so this is not useful for those already familiar with keyboard shortcuts.
The large but unified the mouse buttons on this notebook is a drawback. Bar nice and long, but to get a good response. we must use the outer edge, this is a bit stiff and noisy.

Then for the T115 speaker is located under the front edge of the notebook, it does not produce sound impressive, but the audio came out loud and flat, and the volume is not too big. The spread of the port is what would expect to find on a netbook-sized system. HDMI and VGA ports along the left side line with a card reader 6-in-1 memory. You'll also find a USB port that can charge gadgets like cell phones even when the notebook is in sleep mode.
