The Toshiba T235D sports some nice features behind its 13.3″ 1366×768 LCD, a dual core Neo K625 @ 1.5GHz, 2x2GB DDR3-800 and it is a Radeon HD 4225 that provides the graphical power.  It weighs under 4lbs with a 6 cell battery installed and is between 0.7″ to 1.03″ thick.  The gaming performance is nothing to brag about but general performance shows improvement over the previous generation of mobile AMD solutions.  If you are looking for a thin $600ish laptop and can’t wait for Bobcat read the review at AnandTech and see if it peaks your interest.

“Unlike the higher performance AMD parts, the Nile platform (and Geneva CPUs) compete in the ultraportable market. We’ve looked at a few laptops from the previous generation AMD Congo family, the Acer Ferrari One and the MSI Wind U230, but to date we haven’t found anything that can seriously challenge the Intel ultraportable market. On the performance side, both Intel’s CULV and AMD’s ultraportables have easily pounded Atom netbooks into the ground, but where CULV laptops are able to hit 8+ hours of battery life we’ve yet to break the five hour mark with an AMD laptop (while using a moderately sized 6-cell battery). The Toshiba T235D changes that, and finally we have an AMD platform—and a Toshiba laptop—that we can recommend without a whole bunch of caveats.”
