Toshiba Portege Z835-P330 is an ultrabook contender and it is made to compete with laptops like Asus Zenbook, Lenovo U300s, and Acer S3. It is also a good alternative to the high end Apple MacBook Air. The best thing about the Toshiba Portege Z835-P330 is its price. Unlike most Ultrabooks out there, this system is priced below $1,000. The review model which I got in my offices costs $899 and for this money, you get 128 GB SSD memory (Acer S3 which was priced similarly had just 20 GB of SSD memory with traditional platter drive). However, the CPU is dropped to Intel Core i3 and the Toshiba has cut serious corner here for keeping the price down. Everyday users won’t see much difference but this one is definitely slower than a Core i5 chip. This isn’t the Apple MacBook Air but Toshiba  [...]

What will you do, if you are asked to develop world’s cheapest computer? No ideas, well here’s what you will you: you will strip the laptop to utter bare minimum. The Toshiba NB505 Netbook that we are covering here might not be as skeletal as world’s cheapest laptop, but then asking too much from a system priced at $288, definitely will be a bit voracious. The specifications for the Toshiba NB505 also don’t get a lot of appreciation. The Netbook comes with a negligible 1 GB of RAM and 1.66-GHz Atom CPU, which ensures that it, delivers performance just to please the customers shopping on the very last shelf of the laptop market. The performance from the Toshiba NB505 could be estimated from the fact that the Netbook didn’t actually ran in many of the our benchmark  [...]

The Toshiba M100 is a perfectly timed face-lift for the previous 4000 series, so it will be interesting to see how some other ultra portables in the market competes with this system. The m100 comes with 1.2 GHz Pentium M power, and shares some of its design trades with its precursor M100 and has a 12.1 in polysilicon display, an inner optical drive and a full-size keyboard. Most of the ultraportable systems in the market having 12 in displays exile the optical drive for huge USB cable tethers or two pound slices. The Toshiba M100 weighs around 4.3 lbs with the optical drive, and if you are getting the system in ultraportable mode, then the system weighs only 3.7 pounds. The M100 measures 1.3 x 10.6 x 9.8 inches (H x W x D), and hence is just a few tenths  [...]

The Toshiba Satellite C655-S5049 certainly isn’t the flashiest kid on the block, and that’s pretty understandable, considering the fact that it has been priced only a mere $349. Toshiba gives the 15.6-inch laptop, a simple, lusterless-black, textured plastic chassis, which any manufacturer could give. On top of it, the system comes with a single-core Intel Celeron processor, which suffers from basic use, but at the same time the single core processor of the system makes it trail behind the slightly pricier $150 to $200 priced dual-core laptop. The laptop also doesn’t have a Webcam, which simply could be a disappointment for anyone who is use to Skype and someone who’s shopping for a low-end laptop. So if you don’t have any problems with the single-core processor and the absence  [...]

The Toshiba Portege M780-S7230 was a shocker to us, and after reviewing the exchangeable tablet laptop the Toshiba Portege M400 with a Core 2 Duo processor, four years back we were not expecting it. But, it’s nice to see that the 2010 Portege M780-S7230 is a pleasant surprise and this convertible laptop/tablet comes with a Core i5 processor, with pretty much the same design. The Portege M780 is priced princely at $1,699; and gives you a strong, medium-weight 12.1 inch computer offering a tightly locking, capacitive-touch twirling screen. Though, keep in mind that you can easily get its medium-range specs and Core i5 processor for almost half the price in laptops without touch-screen, and the battery life here also is not all that stellar. Design We termed the almost similar  [...]

The Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850 is the part of Toshiba's Qosmio line which always has been the experimental playground of the company for the high-end systems including the ingenious multimedia home theater laptops and enormous gaming rigs. Though, there have been plenty of revolutionary ideas there, but more often then not what we’ve got has been a tad overpriced system with non-functioning Webcam hand gesture controls and out-of-date video cards. But with the new Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850, the company has targeted brand on gaming power, and has packed the Qosmio X505-Q850 with all new Nvidia's GeForce GTS 250M graphics card and mobile Intel Core i7 CPU. But at the same time has toned down a little, the exaggerated red flame design of the old systems. The Qosmio X505-Q850 comes with a  [...]
