Toshiba Satellite U840W alternatives

Information from 02 Jun 2012.

Looking very focused toward that cinema experience but also something that will be useful for productivity. Side-by-side windows would work well in this resolution. The weight seems acceptable for the size and as with other Toshiba Ultrabooks, the port selection is good.

The specs shown here are for the U840W in Europe. Known as the U845W in the USA. RAM up to 10GB on this model. Harman / Kardon Speakers. "Up to 9 hours" battery life. (Source: Toshiba)

The Macbook Air 2015 brings with it Broadwell cpus to replace the Haswells but it has an Intel HD 6000 gpu instead of the 5000 series. It will be competing with the likes of Dells XPS 13 and Toshiba's KIRA 10 series among several others.
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch 2015, 14.0 inch, 1408 grams (3.1 lbs)
The X1 Carbon is an ultraportable device with a base made of magnesium and aluminum. The display (IPS) cover uses carbon-fibre and glass-fibre reinforced plastic, and the hinges are reinforced with carbon fibre. More tough than classy. The keyboard and touchpad have been revised from the previous model. It's reasonably thin and light especially for a 14 inch laptop, a choice from a powerful set of Broadwell ULV cpu's can be chosen, up to 8GB RAM and various serial ATA storage up to 512GB.

Toshiba CB30-B-104, 13.3 inch, 1350 grams (2.98 lbs)
This Toshiba CB30 Chromebook model has a full HD IPS screen and its weight is ok for a 13.3 inch laptop but it's price may not be.

Dell Latitude E7450 (2015), 14.0 inch, 1550 grams (3.42 lbs)
The business oriented Dell Latitude E7450 is quite a powerhouse and with a carbon-fibre and magnesium-alloy body coming in at 1.55kgs so it's light for a 14" laptop.
