Model: The Toshiba Portege Z30-B-111 is an ultralight laptop that caters to the needs of business travellers. The well-built, lightweight magnesium chassis does not only look good, but feels stable and reliable. The laptop has met the high-quality standards and passed rigorous inspections carried out by the independent German test institute TUV Rheinland. It comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition and there is an option to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit edition with an external DVD drive. The system comes with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core i3-5005U processor, 4 GB DDR3L RAM (maximum 16 GB), an Intel HD Graphics 5500 graphic card, a 128 GB Solid State Drive and a non-reflective 13.3 inch Toshiba HD High Brightness screen with LED backlight.
However, the screen is not Full HD and only displays up to 1368 x 768 resolution. The keyboard is backlit and comfortable to type on. It does not come with a DVD drive but it has a multi format card reader, which supports SD and microSD. Moreover, there are three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an external monitor port, an RJ-45 port, a headphone / microphone combo jack and an integrated 2 MP webcam. The laptop has a convenient weight of just 1.2 kg and Toshiba claims that the battery life can last up to 17 hours.

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.
