Toshiba Portege R835-P50X View

Beauty ultraportable, and the style is as important as computer power. Sometimes even more important. The focus was on the edge, managers of seduction, to the detriment of speed, functionality and price. Yes, I tell you about two 13-inch Apple MacBook Air ($ 1,299 direct, 4 stars) Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3A) (list $ 1650, 4 stars).


It is not an ultraportable, but does not prevent the street style of acting. Toshiba Portege R835-P50X ($ 888.99 list, Best Buy) smarter than their competitors cookies subtle, but much cheaper and works the ISA should be ultraportable. For these reasons, it's Editors Choice '"ultraportable category.

Design

By focusing on more slimming, Toshiba has incorporated one of the lightest ultraportables, most functional in the category of 13 inches. This same method was its predecessor, the Toshiba Portege R705-P35 ($ 900 list, 4 stars), so attractive. The R835-P50X uses a combination of metal and plastic frames of 3.2 kilos, which is about three tenths of a pound more than the air 13 inches (2.9 pounds) and Series 9 (2, 9 lbs .) The framework includes a bit heavier than an optical drive, a feature not found in most of its competitors ultra-thin. It measures 12.4 inches by 9 1 (RDC), and is not as robust as the MacBook Air 13-inch or 9 series, folds and curves laptop when pressure is applied. However, it remains an elegant look.

The

13.3-inch widescreen display is not as bright as the MacBook Air, 13 inches. It 'also the mother of a brighter than the versions without the Dell V130 (830 dollars directly, 3 stars), although Samsung Series 1366-by-768-standard text, but never mind that the average user. If you want a high-resolution display, the MacBook Air 13-inch (1440 x 900), and the Sony VAIO PCV-Z1390X (1600 x 900) ($ 3.800 Direct, 4 stars) can give this.

R835-P50X offers a solid experience in writing .. Each key is the perfect answer irregular deep you get is not as flat as the keys to the MacBook Air and 13-inch Samsung Series 9 E 'as the Lenovo ThinkPad keyboard, only keys that seem all the pieces of Chiclet gum. The keyboard is not lit, but you must use systems much at number 9 and Z1390X to have such a luxury. The mouse buttons are listening then just do not click on this drive andthe touchpad is large and very sensitive.
