It also managed to take on the 3D water racer Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Web browsing in the Metro-style Internet Explorer 10 was fast too, which helped make working in Google Docs particularly easy.
Swiping around the colourful Windows 8 desktop was swift and responsive and apps and menus loaded with minimal delay. Indeed, I found it to be perfectly competent for most tasks. The U920T might have lower-end components, but Toshiba has evidently performed some wizardry to squeeze good juice from them. By comparison, the XPS 12 scored 7,223 whereas the Yoga only managed to achieve 4,971. On the Geekbench benchmark test it scored 5,302, which is a fair score for its specs.
It should hopefully still have enough power for the essentials. That's a lower-end processor than you'd find inside the Yoga or XPS 12 and a lot lower than the Core i7 chip inside Sony's Vaio 11. Purring away inside the U920T's chassis is an Intel Core i3 processor clocked at 1.7GHz, along with 4GB of RAM. It'll do the job for office tasks and social networking, but if you love kicking back with a few good movies, it's unlikely to satisfy. It's fairly bold, but doesn't impress nearly as much as some of Toshiba's displays on its regular laptops. As a result it showed more reflections than necessary under the harsh office lights of CNET UK Towers. Even at its max, I found it looked as though it should go a couple of notches higher. It's not that much cheaper than the other two, so it's disappointing not to see a few more pixels shoved into the space. The Dell XPS 12 packs a Full HD display into its 12-inch frame and even Lenovo's Yoga has a 1,600x900-pixel resolution. The 12.5-inch screen provides a 1,366x768-pixel resolution. The trackpad is small but quite responsive and has a satisfying click to it which I always enjoy.
The keys don't have much travel, so they require a lighter touch than a typical desktop keyboard would. I found it to be fairly comfortable to type on though. Keys are well spread out, but don't make use of the vertical space.
