Reviews for the Toshiba Portege Z30-A-12T

Comment

Model: The Toshiba Portege Z30-A-12T strikes out as a light and solid machine. Encased in a magnesium chassis, its sturdiness is uncompromised. Solidness aside, it is notably light, weighing at only 1.2 kg. The color on its exterior appears in steel gray metallic. It is also equipped with three fast USB 3.0 ports, two display outputs (VGA and HDMI) as well as Gbit LAN. There is also multi-card support. Mounted on it is a 2.0 MP webcam. Display-wise, the 13.3-inch widescreen promises a WXGA resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which corresponds to a pixel density of 118 DPI. Toshiba claims on achieving high brightness with its HD antiglare screen.

The Z30 comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional and is capable of being upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro. Under its hood, it is powered by the 4th generation Intel Core i5-4200U with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, an Intel HD Graphics 4400, and a 256 GB SSD. One striking feature of the Toshiba Portege is its battery life which Toshiba contends is capable of reaching a maximum of 12:41 h. All things considered, it is undeniable that the Portege Z30-A-12T is not some average subnotebook, but a powerful and well-made machine.

13.30":

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.
