Aesthetically the U200-161 defies easy qualification. At some angles it looks really rather sleek and understated, but from others – especially when looking at the touchpad area below the keyboard – it seems rather generic. Inoffensive is the over used term that probably best applies, and at this price one shouldn’t expect a design marvel. At the very least the build quality is up to Toshiba’s generally excellent standards, so there are no concerns in that department.
