80% Toshiba Satellite Click 2 L30W-B-10D review
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
If you are looking for versatility the Click 2 isn’t a bad choice if you want a hybrid device. It has a great screen for the money and its performance was adequate enough to perform most tasks. If tablet functionality isn’t important to you, the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 has better performance and marginally better battery life.

The latest Toshiba hybrid is a visual and ergonomic improvement over the last generation, which means it’s easier to use, but it remains thicker and heavier than the competition. Its good screen and build quality are hampered by its low-end components, poor keyboard and mediocre battery life. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 11 has more going for it – including a better price.

Model:

The Toshiba Satellite L30W-B-10D is another tablet/laptop hybrid. Its design is smart and functional with brush metal finish on aluminum. The hinges attaching the tablet to the keyboard dock are solidly constructed and seamless. The hardware consists of an Intel Pentium N3530 processor with Intel Burst Technology 2.0 clocked at 2.16 GHz, 4 GB DDR3L 1600MHz RAM, Intel HD Graphics and a 500 GB hard disk. The Toshiba Satellite L30W-B-10D uses a Toshiba TruBrite HD TFT High Brightness LED display with POS technology.

The entertainment playback quality is very good and the device is able to perform everyday tasks with relative ease. Other interfaces are micro-HDMI-out, 1 USB 3.0 port on the dock, 1 USB 2.0 port on the tablet, HD webcam, and a SD card slot. Sound quality is pretty decent with Onkyo stereo speakers with DTS Sound and audio enhancement tuned by Skullcandy. The keyboard on the dock consists of 87 key. The entire system including dock weighs in at 2.1 kg. Battery life is good with a 3-cell Lithium-ion pack capable of powering the Toshiba Satellite L30W-B-10D for around 8 hours.

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.

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.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
