Now 13-inchers are meant to be versatile. That means half-decent battery life is a must. Brightness maxed out, CPU flogged to its very last breath, the Toshiba L830 musters a noble 2 hours 36 mins. You can easily double that in normal usage. The Toshiba L830 features a space-age design with mid-range internals, and a good display and keyboard, if a slightly eccentric typing feel.

Looking for a laptop for movies on the go but don't want to pay the whopping price for an ultrabook? The Toshiba L830-10X offers a glossy white shell and a wide screen that's great for films. It's sadly let down by poor performance. If you only care about movies on the go then it's worth a look, but you can find more powerful machines for less money.

A cheap, portable business laptop, but the basic ergonomics and average build quality leave it lacking.

Small, white and glossy. Toshiba's product line features an interesting subnotebook dubbed Satellite L830-15L. The buyer not only gets a 13-inch HD screen but also an energy-efficient ULV processor for just under 640 Euros (~$834). We were especially curious about the graphics card's performance. Can the Radeon HD 7550M also cope with computing-intensive 3D applications.

70.75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
