Toshiba Portege R705-P35 review: Toshiba Portege R705-P35

 

Toshiba Portege R705-P35

Slim, upscale design; excellent keyboard and touch pad; includes Intel Wireless Display and built-in 4G wireless; solid value.

Missing dedicated graphics and Bluetooth; battery life merely average.

The Toshiba Portege R705 is as close to a perfect balance of design, price, and performance as you'll find in a Windows laptop.

Toshiba's Portege R series has always impressed, and the new 13-inch Portege R705 is close to a perfect balance of design, price, and performance.

Toshiba Portege R705-P25

 

An HDMI port and an SD slot are also included features. If you buy this particular configuration (Best Buy version), not only will you get the Navy Blue lid, but Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) technology as well. WiDi is similar to wireless HDMI in...

As light as the Sony VAIO Z. Draped in fine metals. Good speed from standard volt Core i3 processor. Intel WiDi built in. Reasonably priced. Comfy keyboard. Very good battery life, especially if you buy the extended slice

Poorly built speakers. You'll need to buy the Netgear receiver ($100) to use Intel's WiDi

The Toshiba Portégé R705-P25 is a sweet alternative to the Sony VAIO Z, bundling a 13-inch widescreen, optical drive, and a standard volt processor.

Toshiba Portege R705-P35

 

The R705-P35 13.3-inch widescreen boasts a 1,366 by 768 resolution. A higher screen resolution in this price range is a rare find, which is why the 1,600-by-900 screens on the Sony Z116GXS and HP Envy 14 ($1,286 direct, 4 stars) are deemed luxuries....

Good speed from standard volt Core i3 processor. Very lightweight. Metal chassis. Intel WiDi built in. Intel WiMax built in. Reasonably priced. Comfortable keyboard. Improved battery life

Poorly built speakers. You'll need to buy the Netgear receiver ($100) to use Intel?s WiDi

The Toshiba Portege R705-P35 is a more practical alternative to the Sony VAIO Z, bundling a 13-inch widescreen, optical drive, and a standard volt processor.

Toshiba Portege R705 Review

 

Toshiba's Portege R705 is an unexpected addition to the company's ultraportable range. Based on the Portege R700 unveiled as part of Toshiba's 25th anniversary for notebooks, the R705-P25 is a Best Buy exclusive with an MRSP of $889.99 but a street...
