Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite W30t-A-101
Successful merge? The Satellite W30t intends to combine the advantages of a tablet with those of a notebook. Therefore, the device is equipped with an efficient Haswell processor and a conventional hard drive. Is it possible to merge tablet and notebook?

Still, and even if it's not all best-in-class stuff, in this world of choice it's the balance of price to power versus design that might see the Toshiba push forward. There's no official price yet, but our IFA rep speculated that it will be around £550 on release. That's the clincher really - it's a few hundred quid less than its main competitors.

Toshiba's Satellite W30t is a Windows 8.1 shot at a laptop and tablet hybrid. Here's our Toshiba Satellite W30t hands-on review from IFA 2013. Hybrids are all the rage now with manufacturers tying to tempt us with not only a typical laptop, but a tablet in one device. The best of both worlds is generally the idea and this effort is one with a tablet which has a removable keyboard docking station.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

73%: 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.
