The Toshiba Satellite U845W Ultrabook sports a unique 21:9 screen tailor-made for movies and enhanced productivity, but the keyboard could be better.

Now that almost all TVs and tablets are shaped to fit widescreen movies, why not laptops, too? That’s the thinking behind the Toshiba Satellite U845W, whose 14.4-inch screen has an ultra-wide aspect ratio of 21:9. That means when you play the latest movies, it won’t show the black bars on the top or bottom. The unique 1792 x 768-pixel display also makes it well-suited for road warriors who like having two documents open side by side. Better yet, its squat dimensions means you don’t have to worry about the person in front of you reclining his or her airplane seat. Is this the ultimate work and play Ultrabook?
