But the Toshiba’s greatest problem is the competition. With the likes of Lenovo ThinkPad X200 proving cheaper and better in almost every regard, it just doesn’t do enough.

The Toshiba Portege M800 is a great machine to use every day. Surprisingly, Toshiba hasn’t charged a premium for this machine and at £780 (inc. VAT) is one of the best multimedia notebooks we’ve seen in recent months.

60% Toshiba Portégé M800-106 13.3in Notebook
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
With the Portégé M800-106, Toshiba delivers a 13.3in notebook that's attractive enough, eminently portable and stuffed with features. It also continues Toshiba's reputation for excellent notebook speakers. However, it's let down by an average screen and incredibly poor battery life, meaning that if you want to use it on the move you'll have to spend close to £100 more to get the desired performance. This, ultimately, makes the M800 disappointing value for money despite its other potential strengths, so Toshiba should be kicking itself for its penny-pinching since it makes an otherwise good notebook rather ordinary.

White and bright Toshiba

Overall, the Toshiba M800 is a winner in terms of looks and design. The white and glossy finish is just too attractive to dismiss and while I was out and about over the weekend, I spotted a pastel pink M800 and thought that was equally riveting — in a girly way. White, however, is the new pink and is neutral and non-gender specific. That said, the M800 is great for those in need of a stylish notebook that exudes an air of professionalism.

For a long time it was only Apple's laptops that came in white, but now they're ten-a-penny. Even the sub-£200 Eee PC and its gang of low-cost netbooks are clad in white these days. But despite lacking the exclusivity that it once brought, the finish looks stylish on Toshiba's latest laptop. A nod to Apple's iconic design from Toshiba, but perhaps the original is best.

While the performance of the Toshiba Portege M800 wasn't anything mind blowing, it makes up for this by delivering a smooth multimedia experience that should please the senses. The built-in FM radio reception worked surprisingly well and before you dismiss it as a gimmicky snag, at least the tuner does provide some entertainment on the go without stressing the battery excessively. Audio playback was also adequate, and was capable of clear and crisp audio results. Just don't except any hard-hitting bass from the tiny speakers. The M800 does have its fair share of concerns, though these are mostly minor that can be easily overlooked. For example, the screen was glassy, vibrant and clear dead-on, but suffered from mild color shifts and a washout when our eyes strayed off the vertical axis slightly. If you think about it positively though, that means you're ensured some privacy when viewing your screen. So like we mentioned earlier, there's nothing really glaring to be concerned on the M800. Retailing at a cool S$2299, the Toshiba Portege M800 will not burn that big a hole in your pocket unlike some of the other 13.3-inch ultraportable notebooks, so why not test-drive the M800 if you're looking for a stylish rig that delivers a pretty decent overall experience?

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

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.

Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate or technology group. The company was established in 1939 and in 1978 Toshiba became the official company name. The company's products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard drives, printers, batteries, lighting, logistics and information technology. Toshiba was one of the largest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances and medical equipment.

76.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
