When you need the thinnest, lightest and most powerful laptop, few
are better than Toshiba’s range of ultraportable machines. Packing power,
features and all-day mobility, the 13.3-inch Toshiba Satellite Z830 and Toshiba
Satellite R830 are two of the best portable powerhouses you can buy, so
we’ve taken an in-depth look, to help you decide which is the right one
for you.
While both the Satellite Z830 and R830 are thin and light machines
built for comfortable all-day mobility, they each have their individual
strengths. For example, while the Satellite R830 measures 18.3mm at its
slimmest point and weighs 1.5kg, the Satellite Z830 takes its ultra-slim
mobility one step further, measuring just 8.3mm and weighting a mere 1.12kg.
However, where the Satellite Z830 excels in terms of sleekness,
the Satellite R830 more than compensates when it comes to battery life. While
the Z830 can offer up to a fantastic eight hours of mobility from a single
charge, the R830 almost doubles this level of power, offering as much as nine
hours of mobility before you’ll need to recharge the battery.
Whichever model you choose, both the Satellite Z830 and R830 are
incredibly powerful machines. With a choice of cutting-edge, second-generation
Intel Core i3 and i5 processors on offer, you can enjoy class-leading
performance at all times, without having to sacrifice mobility.
The Satellite R830 sports a choice of full-powered processors, for
maximum performance and the Z830 uses power-efficient ultra low-voltage chips
to deliver a combination of power and mobility. And both laptops let you
install up to 6GB of memory, for the fastest possible software response times.
When it comes to storage, there is a big difference between the
Satellite Z830 and R830. While the Z830 uses a compact Solid State Drive (SSD),
to provide unbeatable reliability and data access speeds, the maximum storage
is currently 128GB. The R830, on the other hand, uses a mechanical hard drive,
and while it is not as fast as the Z830’s SSD, you have access to as much
as 640GB of storage so better for those who have larger photo and video
libraries.
Due to the Satellite Z830’s ultra-slim chassis, there is not
the space to feature a built-in optical drive. As a result, you cannot access
DVDs or CDs on the move, without buying an external optical drive and carrying
it with you. In contrast, the thin and light R830 packs a full DVD rewriter, letting
you watch DVDs, listen to CDs and create your own discs wherever you go. Before
you buy you need to consider just how much you use an optical drive or whether
you can get away by transferring files via USB or alternative means.
In terms of other features, the Satellite Z830 and R830 are almost
identical. Both offer three USB ports, for connecting cabled peripherals;
Bluetooth 3.0, for connecting wireless peripherals; 802.11n Wi-Fi, for enjoying
high-speed wireless internet connections; Gigabit Ethernet, for high-speed
fixed internet connections; and an integrated webcam, for online video
conferencing.
Whichever model you choose, the Toshiba Satellite Z830 and R830
are both among the best ultraportable laptops around. With their stunning
combination of power, style, mobility and features, you can enjoy all the
benefits of a full-size laptop, with the added benefits of having a machine
that’s unbeatably portable. For frequent travelers, that’s a
combination that’s hard to ignore.
