  • Good application performance, Good battery life, Light weight, Slim case, (Stable), matte magnesium case, Optical drive, HDMI, eSATA, Docking Port, Precise multi-touchpad, Good but not perfect input devices, Sensible hardware tools
  • System noise under load, Short travel of the keys and touchpad buttons, Weak TFT backlight, Low contrast of the display, Narrow viewing angles
  • As long as the dim display doesn't disturb, and no workstation tasks are performed with the R830-110, then the 13.3 inch device is a viable alternative for all those on the search for a subnotebook with a long battery life, integrated UMTS modem, docking...

  • Abstract:  Until recently, choosing a notebook always involved compromise. You bought for performance or battery life, but never both. If you wanted performance (or big screen size), you got poor battery life. If you wanted long battery life, you got feeble proce...

  • Excellent performance and battery life, Good build quality, Plenty of built-in features
  • Keyboard not backlit, Screen not great, Long charging time
