Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite L830-10X

Archive.org versionNow 13-inchers are meant to be versatile. That means half-decent battery life is a must. Brightness maxed out, CPU flogged to its very last breath, the Toshiba L830 musters a noble 2 hours 36 mins. You can easily double that in normal usage. The Toshiba L830 features a space-age design with mid-range internals, and a good display and keyboard, if a slightly eccentric typing feel.

Archive.org versionLooking for a laptop for movies on the go but don't want to pay the whopping price for an ultrabook? The Toshiba L830-10X offers a glossy white shell and a wide screen that's great for films. It's sadly let down by poor performance. If you only care about movies on the go then it's worth a look, but you can find more powerful machines for less money.

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.

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.
