It seems like almost every notebook PC
manufacturer has decided to announce an "Ultrabook" (a 13-inch thin and
light multimedia laptop) this week. Toshiba America is the latest
company to join the fray; Toshiba today unveiled the Portégé Z830
Series, the company’s first Ultrabook using second Generation Core processors. The new Z830 has a starting weight
of less than 2.5 pounds and features a 0.63-inch (15.9 mm) profile ...
making it about 20 percent lighter and 40 percent thinner than the
previous Portégé R830 Series.
As with most of the "Ultrabooks" hitting the market,
the Z830 supports the latest Intel Core processors, DDR3 memory, and
promises to provide an impressive combination of multimedia performance
and great battery life. The Z830 Ultrabook offers a 128GB solid state
drive for increased speed, durability and better energy efficiency than a
typical hard drive. The new Ultrabook comes with Toshiba’s new
"Hi-Speed Start Technology" which allows the notebook to boot Windows
"in just seconds."The Portégé Z830 Series is also packed with several modern conveniences such as a full-size LED Backlit and spill-resistant keyboard that makes it easier to see what you're typing in low light conditions and helps guard against accidents. The Ultrabook also includes Toshiba’s USB Sleep & Charge technology which lets you charge a USB device such as a camera or iPod even while the Ultrabook is powered down.
