Toshiba's Portégé range is aimed at high-level business users who need both portability and massive power. Our review sample R830-10Q came with a pretty staggering 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor running at 2.7GHz. At £1,600 (ex VAT), this is...

Review date: 30 January, 2012. Review by: Sandra Vogel Toshiba has built a good reputation for its Portege range of notebooks, with the R series doing very well in the thin and light market arena. The latest update to the R830 model includes modern sp...
Small, light and portable; lots of different models, with a variety of specifications...
Chassis not updated from previous model; this class of notebook may suffer as ultrabooks become more popular.
The Toshiba Portege R830 is small and portable, with a good quality keyboard and a nice, matte screen. Toshiba could have done more with the design, but there are models to keep those who do, and don’t need optical drives, happy...

Toshiba has updated the Portégé R700 with new components but retained the old chassis design. We'd prefer a more solid lid section, but the R830 is an impressively portable notebook. Battery life is good too, but the cost remains high. Specifications A...

The Toshiba Portégé R830 isn't perfect. Not everyone will like the keyboard and it's not cheap, but it's stylish, well-built, has USB3 and lengthy battery life too. It's one of the best ultraportable laptops we've seen yet. Those who need the longest p...

Because it's so light, the build quality of the Portege R830 feels weak at first, but after you scrutinise it you realise that it's actually a strongly-built notebook. Its chassis is made out of magnesium alloy, so it's very sturdy. There is some give...

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...
