Review Toshiba Satellite R830-11C Notebook

 

Business Subnotebook. Toshiba has released the Satellite R830, a 13.3-inch subnotebook that could be of particular interest to business customers. The small, light laptop stands out with its stylish appearance, good battery life and built-in solid...

Matt display, Low weight, Magnesium case, Good battery life, SSD drive, USB 3.0, The slick magnesium case and the SSD. The case doesn’t just look good, it is also very robust and resistant to fingerprints. The SSD makes for a fast-running system

Battery recharges slowly, High price, Some noise from the SSD, A cooling system that would turn the fan off completely in idle. Then the notebook would be almost silent when idle, with there being no conventional hard drive

Review Toshiba Portege R830-110 Notebook

 

Low cost expert. Light, long battery life, and well put together.

Good application performance; Good battery life; Light weight; Slim case; (Stable), matte magnesium case; Optical drive; HDMI, eSATA, Docking Port; Precise multi-touchpad; Good but not perfect input devices; Sensible hardware tools

System noise under load; Short travel of the keys and touchpad buttons; Weak TFT backlight; Low contrast of the display; Narrow viewing angles

Very good battery life with a low power consumption.

Toshiba Portégé R830 Review

 

There was a time when Toshiba's line of Portégé business ultraportables was the epitome of sleek utility, particularly in the days of the R500 and R600. Samsung stole some of that show when it released the Series 9 (reviewed here)—the closest a PC has...

Extremely portable; great performance for the size; superb battery life

Ho-hum looks; odd proprietary SSD

Naturally, the extra 1.3GHz of the R830’s CPU produced benchmark results that were substantially superior to those of the Series 9—ranging from 42 percent better in Quake III to 112 percent better in MainConcept. Against our ultraportable zero-point...

Toshiba Portege R830 (Core i7-2620M 2.7GHz) - It Just Keeps On Going

 

The Toshiba Portege R830 is one for the suits, those who have no time for anything other than an Intel Core i7 processor, a built-in optical drive, and more than 4 hours of battery life. It's slim profile and 1.4kg light weight make it as portable as...

Toshiba Portege R830 (PT321A-01L002) ultraportable laptop

 

Toshiba Portege R830 review: A 13.3in ultraportable with great features, strong build quality and excellent battery life

Excellent performance and battery life ; Good build quality ; Plenty of built-in features

Keyboard not backlit ; Screen not great ; Long charging time

Toshiba's Portege R830 is a great choice for business users who want something that's easily mobile, yet fully-featured and fast. It's not perfect -- it could use a better screen, a backlit keyboard and a quicker charging time -- but it's very well...

Toshiba Satellite R830

 

This light and stylish, magnesium-clad ultra-portable laptop will make a great, affordable travelling companion for productivity-oriented individuals.

Very light (less than 1.5kg), Understated and stylish, Generous connectivity and specs, Excellent value

Mediocre screen, Keyboard feedback too shallow

Toshiba Portégé R830 - X3435 Notebook Review

 

Toshiba's Portégé series has been around for quite a while now but they've often slipped under the radar with their more flashy

The Portégé R830 is priced at Rs.85,589 (MRP) and Rs. 80,990 (MOP). It’s got the specs, but the price is quite exorbitant. The only noticeable cons in the performance were lack of a backlit keyboard and slight overheating when pushed to the max....

Toshiba Portégé R830-1DZ review

 

If you're looking for a blend of portable and powerful, then the Toshiba Portégé R830-1DZ could be right up your street.

Graphics aside, the raw performance of the Toshiba Portégé R830-1DZ is head and shoulders above the opposition in this group test. The blend of high-quality components and variety of connectivity options in this small shell combine to make the Portégé...

Toshiba Satellite R830-143 review

 

If you're looking for something to travel around with that you'll use largely for working as well as playing the odd movie then the Toshiba Satellite R80-143 could be right up your street.

Toshiba’s Satellite R830-143 is the smallest of the laptops on test and if you’re after a highly portable model with excellent battery life, it’s hard to beat. Its diminutive size means that some compromises have been made, and while the screen is...
