Reviews for the Toshiba Portege R930-1CX

80% Toshiba Portégé R930-1CX review: lightweight business laptop
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It’s expensive for a laptop with only an Intel Core i3 processor and slow 320 GB hard disk. However, the R930 scores in other areas, with a slim, lightweight design that may appeal to business travellers. Battery life is also good, and its additional security features and support for mobile broadband should appeal to people who need a secure laptop for travel.
