Toshiba Portege Z830-10N review

Don't be put off by the dull, grey styling: Toshiba's Z830-10N Ultrabook is quite a remarkable computer.

Good erformance ; Thin and light ; 128GB SSD ; Batter life ; WiDi comatible

Some flex in chassis ; Bundled software

Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U review

If you wanted a stylishly light and powerful Toshiba laptop, you would immediately look to the Portege R830. That is, until you came across the £999 Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U - Toshiba's shiny entry into the ultrabook market that will go up against...

Light and slim ; Good keyboard and touchad ; Imressive seakers ; Good erformance ; Plenty of connectivity

Flimsy screen ; Too much bloatware ; Boxy design ; Quite ricey ; Matt screen will disaoint some

The Satellite Pro Z830-10U is one of the best ultrabooks we've yet seen, and certain features, such as connectivity and touchpad usability, outshine all its rivals. However, there are still niggling issues such as build quality and excessive bloatware...

Toshiba Portégé Z930-108 review

Toshiba describes the Toshiba Portégé Z930-108 as the ultimate mobile business laptop. We give this 13in ultraportable a thorough testing to see how well it fits this ambitious title.

Toshiba's Z930-108 could make a good choice as a portable business laptop. It's thin, extremely light and has good build quality. Features are abundant and it’s a fast performer too. But the Z930-108 doesn't quite deserve the ultimate business laptop...

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 Satellite Z830-10U review

The Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U is one of Toshiba's ultrabooks, this one aimed at a consumer audience instead of business.

The Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U costs less than the Portégé Z830-10P and has better hardware specifications. Business users will have to swallow the difference though in order to get Windows 7 Professional. For anyone else, the Satellite is the best...

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...

One of the lightest, best-connected and most affordable 13in Ultrabooks on the market.

Incredibly lightweight ; Excellent connectivity ; Affordable ; Backlit keyboard ; Matt screen

Design not as clean as rivals ; Screen’s poor viewing angles ; Mediocre keyboard

Toshiba PortĂ©gĂ© Z830-10P

The PortĂ©gĂ© Z830 is an impressive business ultrabook. Apart from the amount of flex in the lid, we like the slimline design and thoughtful ergonomics. Not everyone will appreciate the connectors on the back edge, though, and we'd have liked access to...

Lightweight and very portable ; Standard-size ports and connectors ; High-quality speakers

Too much flex in the lid ; Limited available storage space on SSD ; No access to the battery

The Toshiba PortĂ©gĂ© Z830 is an impressive attempt to bring the ultrabook format to business users. Apart from the amount of flex in the lid, we like the slimline design and thoughtful ergonomics. We're pleased to see full-sized ports on the system,...

Toshiba Satellite Z830 review

The Toshiba Satellite Z830 may be slim and light, but it fails to beat its ultrabook competitors in power, build quality and battery life. Your £1,000 would be better spent elsewhere.

Extremely light ; Super-slim design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Great multi-tasking performance

Chassis seems very weak ; Unimpressive screen ; Less powerful than similarly priced competitors

The Toshiba Satellite Z830 earns points for its slim and exceedingly lightweight design. It may not look as fancy as other models, but it will certainly suit a professional looking for a portable business machine.

Toshiba Portégé Z830-104 review

Toshiba isn't trying to compete directly with Asus and Apple with its Portégé Ultrabook – instead of concentrating solely on styling and hyper-slim dimensions, the company has added a dash of practicality with full-size ports, a matte-finish screen and...

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
