And those will videos look great on the U840’s 14-inch LED high definition TruBrite display.
But how does the Toshiba Satellite U840 compare to the U840W?
Toshiba Satellite U840W: the ultimate Ultrabooks for movie fans
There’s only one place to begin - the 14.4-inch 21:9 ratio display. It’s the first of its kind, lending the U840W a shape akin to a folded up newspaper that you can sling under your arm.
The unique shape is ideal for film fans and media lovers. It’s also great for multitasking, letting you view movies and work documents side-by-side. Like the U840, pictures on the U840W look amazing, distortion-free, and crystal clear.

The Toshiba U840W can also count upon Harmon Kardon stereo speakers and SRS Premium Sound for an increased level of immersion when viewing the latest Hollywood films.
Away from its media skills, the U840W, just like the U840 has a 32GB SSD with a 500GB hard drive, and a generous 10GB high-speed DDR3 RAM for work documents, photos. You’ll need the storage for all those movies you’ll be watching on its beautiful backlit LED display. There’s no other Ultrabook quite like the Toshiba U840W.
Whichever laptop you go for, each comes fitted with the latest Intel core processors, and all the storage you could ever need from a Toshiba Ultrabook
The Toshiba Satellite U840 with its high definition TruBrite display makes movies come to life, while the Toshiba Satellite U840W lets you enjoy them in a way previously impossible on an Ultrabook, with audio to match its picture quality. The big question now is which to choose.
