Not least of which is the amazing battery life the devices, dubbed the T135 and T115, offer. According to Toshiba, they’ll provide a whopping nine hours on a single, full charge. As anyone who has ever been caught short mid-assignment knows, this is nothing short of manna from heaven.

The laptops’ aforesaid energy efficiency also means they’re surely among the most eco-friendly laptops around, having been granted Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold status. So, if you’re of an environmental bent, you’ll be able to work on the move with a clearer conscience.

But what about the specs? Well the T135 and the T115 both sport Intel Celeron dual-core processors and 3G mobile broadband support. The smaller T115 offers up 250GB of storage and up to 3GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the T135 provides 500GB hard drive and up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM.
