  • Small, light and portable; lots of different models, with a variety of specifications,
  • Chassis not updated from previous model; this class of notebook may suffer as ultrabooks become more popular.
  • The Toshiba Portege R830 is small and portable, with a good quality keyboard and a nice, matte screen. Toshiba could have done more with the design, but there are models to keep those who do, and don’t need optical drives, happy. ...

  • Graphics aside, the raw performance of the Toshiba Portégé R830-1DZ is head and shoulders above the opposition in this group test. The blend of high-quality components and variety of connectivity options in this small shell combine to make the Portégé ...

  • Very small and light; integrated optical drive,
  • Flex in lid; expensive.
  • Small, light, neat, but lacking the kind of sparkle that would really justify its high price, the Toshiba Portégé R830 certainly has a market, but could have garnered a larger one with a little more attention to detail....

  • A slim, lightweight business ultraportable that gives you full-size performance, features and battery life - and stands up to the rigours of travel
  • A slim, lightweight business ultraportable that gives you full-size performance, features and battery life - and stands up to the rigours of travel
  • A very business-like 13-inch ultraportable at a business price, the Portege R830 is truly portable but makes the minimum of compromises. The design statement it makes is that you need to get some work done...

  • Fast processor, Integrated mobile broadband, Good keyboard
  • Build quality could be better, Short battery life
  • Our version of the Toshiba Portege R830, the R830-138, offers great performance and some smashing features, such as integrated mobile broadband. There's no denying that it's very expensive for a 13-inch laptop, though....

  • Light and thin, incredibly powerful, good keyboard, plenty of sockets and peripheral options
  • Nagging software and notices, expensive
  • The Portégé R830 is a superb machine with plenty of power and a generous spec. However, it is expensive and some aspects of the software are irritating to use....

  • Abstract:  The Toshiba Portégé R830 isn't perfect. Not everyone will like the keyboard and it's not cheap, but it's stylish, well-built, has USB3 and lengthy battery life too. It's one of the best ultraportable laptops we've seen yet. Those who need the longest p...

  • The Portégé R830 is priced at Rs.85,589 (MRP) and Rs. 80,990 (MOP). It’s got the specs, but the price is quite exorbitant. The only noticeable cons in the performance were lack of a backlit keyboard and slight overheating when pushed to the max. Besid...
