MagyarDynabook Portégé X30W-J-10K laptop in review - A lightweight with port diversity
With the Dynabook Portégé X30-W-J-10K, Toshiba's successor sends an extremely interesting device onto the market. The following features particularly catch our eye: a magnesium casing that weighs less than one kilogram and a matte 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen. Furthermore, the device offers an Intel Core i7 1165G7 with 16 GB DDR-4 RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD as storage solution. Dynabook also gives the Portégé many ports and a special warranty.
Possible competitors are the Fujitsu LifeBook U9311X i7 LTE, the Dell Latitude 9420 2-in-1 and also the HP Elite Dragonfly Max. This review will show whether the Dynabook Portégé can compete with these rivals and whether the price of 2,299 Euros (~$2,666) is justified.

Case & features - High-quality laptop with Thunderbolt 4
The magnesium casing excels with its very low weight and an extremely high build quality. The Portégé also makes a very robust impression. It lies well in the hand and is thus the ideal daily companion. The position of the ports is very well implemented here. They have been cleverly placed sideways from the center of the device to ensure comfort when typing, even when all ports are occupied.
Compared to the rivals, our test device is at the top in terms of WLAN performance and can thus convince. Dynabook installs two webcams here, whose quality is sufficient. One of them is located in the display, as usual, and can be closed with a manual shutter. The second webcam is placed in the keyboard base and can record the surroundings in FullHD with 30 fps and 8 megapixels in tablet mode. Only the performance of the micro-SD card reader is below average.

Warranty
Dynabook has an exceptional warranty offer for the buyer and relies on high confidence in its own manufacturing quality. The Portégé comes with a one-year money-back guarantee. If the device breaks within a year without software, user or environmental influences being to blame, Dynabook repairs the device free of charge and refunds the purchase price on top of that. However, this is conditional on the user registering within 30 days of purchasing the device. More about this can be found at Dynabook.
Input devices - Quiet keyboard that is expandable
The keyboard does not have a particularly long key travel, but this is acceptable considering the device's low height. The counterpressure of the keys is okay. The layout seems a bit constricting for the user, but you will get used to it over time. The keyboard illumination has three levels, which can be easily adjusted via FN+Y. As an extra, Dynabook adds an active input pen with four additional tips. This can be attached by the user via an included loop, which has to be glued to the case.
The ClickPad is not particularly large at 10 x 5.5 cm (~3.9 x 2.2 in), but has been maximized due to its construction. The fingerprint sensor is located on the upper left corner of the touchpad. The gliding properties are good, and the feedback of the built-in keys is clearly noticeable.
To access the Portégé's innards, 12 screws have to be removed from the base plate. Only the SSD and the fans are directly accessible. Unfortunately, there is no additional slot for another SSD.
Display - Matte 13 incher without PWM
The matte 13.3-inch IPS touch display offers good contrast and black values with a FullHD resolution and is ahead of the competition in this respect. The sRGB color space is covered by 98%, and thus the device is also suitable for editing pictures and videos after a display calibration. The factory calibration is sufficient for everyday applications.
The illumination of 90% is good, and the brightness is also a solid 390 cd/m². In line with its price the panel is also viewing-angle stable, and the colors as well as the contrast do not invert, even in oblique viewing. In combination with the matte display, our device can convince with low-reflection viewing in outdoor use. Compared to the competition, the Portégé has a good overall package. Only the display brightness of the HP Elite Dragonfly Max is almost twice as high.

Performance, emissions and battery life
The manufacturer uses the Intel Core i7 1165G7 for the processor which delivers a very good performance. In the high-performance profile, the performance in our CineBench R15 Multi endurance test remains almost consistently stable even over longer periods. The processor can use 41 W for a short time, but this value drops to 28 W after a few seconds. The Portégé is also suitable for a few games thanks to the integrated Intel Iris XE Graphics. Compared with competing devices that use the same graphics card, the performance here is rather below average. The permanently available CPU power is reduced from 28 to 20 W in battery mode. The graphics performance on the other hand remains stable on battery power.
In combination with the fast PCIe-SSD (3.0 x 4), the system performance is very good overall and all inputs are implemented without delay. In our standardized latency test, the test device also does not show any conspicuities.
The fans reveal a rather noticeable pulsating behavior during demanding tasks and jump up and down. The Dynabook Portégé only gets noticeably warm at the upper edge and at the bottom. On the other hand, the device stays quite quiet and cool during everyday tasks. The waste heat is cleverly dissipated behind the keyboard, between the hinges, so that a good airflow is generated even in tablet mode. For enough fresh air in normal and tablet mode, the feet have been made a bit thicker so that enough air can be sucked in from below or from the sides. We noticed a slightly audible electronic noise during operation, which is mainly perceptible in idle mode.
The battery runtime is very good in the practical WLAN test: It lasts for almost eleven hours at 150 cd/m² and almost eight hours at full brightness. The device is recharged in a flash in just over an hour. If you draw a conclusion from the other test devices, only the Dell Latitude 9420 offers a bit more endurance due to the larger battery.

Verdict - Competent business convertible with potential for improvement
The light magnesium case of the Dynabook Portégé X30W-J-10K cannot only convince with its weight. The feel and workmanship are very good for the price. We also liked the matte touchscreen, which convinces with its contrasts and black levels. With the external dimensions of a DIN A4 sheet of paper, the device still has a good connectivity to offer. The device can be fully recharged in just over an hour via USB-C on one of the two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The manufacturer also installs a second webcam in the keyboard base, which expands the application possibilities.
Intel's 11th generation processor, a 1 TB SSD, and 16 GB of working memory enable our review sample to convince with high system performance, which can, however, quickly bring the battery to its knees during demanding tasks. Under low load, the battery is very enduring. The manufacturer's special warranty provides an additional incentive for the purchase.
The Dynabook Portégé X30W-J-10K becomes the ideal everyday companion and convinces with good system performance and runtime.
The weak points are the fans, which can get loud under load, but do not behave in a high-frequency manner. The input devices are good, but still have room for improvement. We would wish for a longer key travel and a larger clickpad from Dynabook here. A second M.2 slot has unfortunately not found its way into the case either.
If you compare it to the competition, you get an ultra-light device with enough system performance and a long battery life. A matte touchscreen and a certain amount of connectivity round off the profile. If you don't mind a bit more weight, you should take a look at the more expensive Dell Latitude 9420 2-in-1. The LifeBook U9311X from Fujitsu is most similar to the Dynabook and also combines a very light case with many ports, while the HP EliteBook Dragonfly Max primarily offers a higher case quality as well as a better keyboard.
Price and availability
The Dynabook Portégé X30W-J-10K with Intel Core i5 1135G7, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD is available for around 1,200 Euro (~$1,391) at OfficePartner. The variant with the Intel Core i7 1165G7, 16 GB working memory and a 512 GB SSD is available for 1,800 Euro (~$2,086) at OfficePartner. If you need even more storage, you can buy our test configuration from TSComputer for 2,200 Euros (~$2,550).
