Reviews for the Toshiba Portégé R830-S8310

Archive.org versionThe laptop’s 500GB hard drive is fairly clean of bloatware. There are a few preloaded offers from Amazon, NetZero, and Skype, along with the ubiquitous 30-day trial of Norton Internet Security and the ad-supported Microsoft Office Starter 2010. Toshiba also includes a number of its own apps. Toshiba Book Place is a basic e-book reader, while Toshiba Bulletin Board is a flashy but largely useless app to organize notes and photos.

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.
