Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite R830-11C

Toshiba Satellite Z830 review: First Look
Source: It Pro Archive.org version
The Toshiba Satellite Z830 is the most promising Ultrabook design we've seen so far, if only because it doesn't slavishly ape the MacBook Air. Much depends on pricing and battery life though which we won't be able to judge until final production models arrive in the UK later this year.

First look at Toshiba's Portégé Z830 Ultrabook

Indeed, Toshiba seems deliberately tried not to go down the Apple 'design above all' route. Yes, the Z830 is not as pretty as the Air or Acer's Aspier S3, but it has three full-size USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI - the latter arguably more useful than the Air's DisplayPort connector.

Toshiba Portege Z830 first look
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
All told, though, we're deeply impressed by the Toshiba Portege Z830. It really is remarkably thin and light, and attractive too. But it's the fact that Toshiba has achieved this without compromising on almost any front. It may not quite be class leading in any one area - particularly the screen - but for usability, connectivity, performance and battery life combined there are few competitors that can hold a candle to it. All that remains to be seen now is whether Toshiba can get the pricing right here in the UK.

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.

84%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
