Toshiba Portege Z835-P370
If you are shopping for an ultrabook, you need to at least consider the Toshiba. Four months after its introduction, Portege Z830/835 company remains the lightest in its class at 2.5 pounds (2.9 to 3.3 pounds compared to a rival for most), with the best collection of ports, including Ethernet, HDMI, VGA, and a memory-card reader to give some Ultrabooks out or delegate the dongles, as does the Dell XPS 13 ($ 999.99 direct, 4 stars).
We tested two versions of the Toshiba, but not economically transportable Intel Core i3-powered Portege Z835-P330 ($ 799.99 list, 3.5 stars) and the fast but pricey Core i7-based model Z830-S8302 ($ 1,429 list, 3.5 stars). Today we are looking at the middle or the Core i5 model, the Toshiba Portege Z835-P370 ($ 1,049.99 list), and the risk of sounding Goldilocksian, it was our favorite of the three.
Design
The super - thin ( 0.6 by 12.4 by 8.9 inches , HWD ) Z835 - P370 gets its light weight from a magnesium alloy chassis base makes it surprisingly tough - unlike its vanishingly thin screen , that flirts with the F word ( thin ) if you understand its corners and wiggle them . In its favor , however , the screen hinge our test unit did not get the shakes during typing our Toshiba Z830 - S8302 is made .
The 13.3 - inch display with the same mediocre 1366 by 768 resolution as per ultrabook we've seen , with the exception of 1600- by- 900 - pixel Asus Zenbook UX31 - RSL8 ( $ 1,049 list , 4 stars ) and HP Envy 14 Spectre ( $ 1,399.99 direct , 4 stars ) . It is well lighted , with sharp text and color despite narrowish angle viewing ; between the screen and the LED - backlit keyboard , we had no working through a long night in a less - than - a brightly - lit room .
Besides the backlight ( by default off after 15 seconds of inactivity , although you can move permanently on or off ) , the keyboard offers a wonderful layout , with dedicated Home , End , PgUp , and PgDn keys instead of doubling up the function on the cursor arrow . We do not try to claim its spill resistance Toshiba , but we soon grew trained in its stable , relatively shallow typing feel . Speakers focused , Toshiba touchpad with two mouse buttons chrome rather than the mere clicky corner fashion nowadays ; their operations slightly astringent is a difference in the pad 's smooth gliding and tapping .
Features
The Z835 - P370 is no technology Intel Smart Connect the HP Envy 14 Spectre and the Dell XPS 13 will be able to tap to update Microsoft Outlook and other applications to the Internet while the system can accommodate ( although one USB its 2.0 port can charge handheld devices while the system can accommodate ) . But it has other wireless capabilities including Wi - Fi , or Wireless Display WiDi , and Bluetooth .
While Toshiba ultrabook is no optical drive , we mentioned his amazing array of ports . Microphone and headphone jacks and an SD card slot is located on the left side of the chassis , using a USB 3.0 port on the right . Two USB 2.0 ports , an Ethernet port , an HDMI port for modern monitors , and a VGA port for older displays or Projector is behind .
128GB solid - state drive The Portege has 77GB of free space out of the box , the parts occupied by everything from a recovery of the system partition to a measly 30 - day trial of Norton Internet Security Google Chrome and a slew Toshiba utilities - brand . As expected , the SSD makes the little laptop much perkier than a hard - drive - based system , booting in 26 seconds and continuity of sleep in 3 seconds by our stopwatch .
