Toshiba made it a priority last year to focus less on the consumer notebooks and more on the lucrative business notebook market instead. The latest Portege X30 series looks to be the Japanese manufacturer's most lightweight business notebook yet at just 1.05 kg. We expect the touchscreen-enabled SKUs to be slightly heavier, but this is still lighter than the latest Lenovo X1 Carbon and HP Spectre 13 at 1.14 kg and 1.11 kg, respectively. Additionally, the Toshiba will still be thicker than the aforementioned Lenovo and HP systems at 16.4 mm.
The Portege X30-D will launch in four SKUs from the Core i5-7200U with 8 GB of RAM up to the Core i7-7500U with 16 GB of RAM. Unlike the more mainstream Satellite series, the flagship Portege lineup skips the subpar HD panels in favor of FHD even on the entry-level SKUs.
