Toshiba Portege Z830

First Look: A 13in notebook that weighs just 1.11kg and is just 16mm thick? Count us in.

One area that is a bit of a let down is the touchpad, simply because it isn't of the single piece variety, as seen on Apple's laptops and the Samsung 9 and 7 Series laptops, that we've grown to like. Nonetheless, it does support multi-touch and the...

First Look: Toshiba Portege Z830

There's lot to be said about the Toshiba ultrabook. There are two models available, the Portege, we're dealing with today, and a Satellite model, which is aimed more at the home market. Toshiba is only offering Core i3 and Core i5 models at the start....

Incredibly light, fantastic business features, good keybaord and trackpad

A little dull to look at, noisy fan

The Toshiba is a bit of strange machine. To look at, it has none of the excitement that you might enjoy with a MacBook Air, or the Asus UX31. But it's lighter than both, it has more ports than both - and every other ultrabook - and it's got more...

Okay, first a confession. The Toshiba bods wouldn't let us play on the newly announced Toshiba Portege Z830 Ultrabook. Heck they wouldn't even let us go

Toshiba Portégé Z830-10P review

The Toshiba Portégé Z830-10P is a business-skewed version of Toshiba's ultrabook, with relatively slow processor and Windows 7 Professional.

The Toshiba Portégé Z830 is remarkably similar to the Toshiba Satellite Z830. However, it packs less memory and has a slower processor than its sibling, resulting in slower performance but 30 mins extra battery life. The only things it offers to...

Toshiba Portégé Z830-104 review

The Toshiba Z830 ultrabook is available in several versions, including the business version Toshiba Portégé Z830-104 tested here.

The Toshiba Portégé Z830-104 is an ultraportable for the travelling professional who needs their laptop lightweight and practical rather than attractive. It might look plain but it has plenty to offer if you need portage. It's a tad on the pricey side...

Toshiba Portégé Z830-104 review

Its full-size ports and backlit keyboard make Toshiba's Ultrabook stand out from the crowd, but it's not enough to make the Portégé our Ultrabook of choice

Toshiba Z830-10T

There's something nice about having a laptop that receives positive passed remarks and the Toshiba Z830-10T certainly does this. It's one of the increasing numbers of ultra-portable laptops on the market and among the best, and has a price tag of just...

Very light and slim, Unique Looks, Great Connectivity, Nice Keyboard, Great Battery

Poor Screen Angles, Average Build Quality

Toshiba Port?g? Z830-10N 13.3in Ultrabook

Review The last time I tested a Toshiba laptop, it had a glowing orange screen and the keyboard rattled like a box of Lego. Come to think of it, newspapers at the time were scaring readers about ‘house parties', so it was quite a while ago. So perhaps...

Despite some annoyances, I really enjoyed my time testing the Toshiba Portégé Z830. It is a good all-rounder, but so very slim and light, and it runs on batteries for the best part of a day. Surely these three features alone deserve to make it a great...

Toshiba Portege Z830 Ultrabook review

Ultrabooks might be the products that change the face of...

Small and light to carry around; good battery life

Not much storage on the SSD; can’t access battery; lid feels a bit vulnerable

The Toshiba Portégé Z830 is a very neat, slim, small ultrabook. We think the lid section should be more solid, but the battery life is good. You will need to decide though, whether the 128GB SSD offers enough storage.
