The New Portege 800
Last year, Toshiba launched its Protege 700 series which was considered as a best laptop of that year. This year Toshiba has launched it new Portege 800 series, which retains the dynamicity of the 13 inch Portege Laptops and comes with a few additional features, one of which that is most talked about is its powerful battery.
The portege 800 series laptops have almost the same body of the R700 series, with a few exceptions. The bluish metal alloy body looks elegant as ever, but the sides of the screen is overly chromed and gives a cheap feeling to laptop. The laptop is quite light 3.2 pounds, just like its counter parts in the same category but not as thin like MacBook Air or Samsung 9 series. The laptop reaches a maximum height of 1.1 inches and a minimum of 0.7 inches, hence, the light weight.
The keyboard has the famous trendy look of island keys that are widely spaced and gives a nice look. The keys are more rectangular in shape rather than being square, which would cause typing errors. This style for keys would be selected in such manner so that the size of touch pad could be increased and that is why we see a spacious touch pad and palm rest below the keyboard. The tactile buttons for left and right click are big as well. The keyboard is not backlit and it’s hard to find the keys because many keys are moved from their conventional location, especially Enter and the Right Shift key. As you can see below
The upper lid has the shiny screen with the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The viewing angles of the screen are a bit disappointing and so is the audio, which has always been a letdown in Portege laptops. The R800 series is equipped with Intel HD 3000 graphics accelerator, which cannot be considered as a dedicated graphics option, but it was able to play some of the games, like Unreal Tournament 3, at a fair enough speed.
The laptop has a current generation Core-i processor in it and has a very nice 4 GB of memory that could be increased to 8 GB max. The hard disk is of 640GB with 5400 rpm. This combination enables a user to do multitasking without any hiccup. The R835 performed so well that it out mastered Samsung 9 series and the irony is that one could by two Portege laptops in the price of one Samsung 9. The laptop has quite a few notable expansion ports as USB 3.0 port, HDMI pat. The Laptop’s battery is the biggest pros, with 7 hours video playback support, the battery performance has stunned many critics till now.
The new Toshiba Portege R835 is a new 13 inch category laptop that could be used as an alternative to MacBook Pro. The machine is equipped with a second generation Intel Core-i processor and has a very powerful battery, but has a few down sides, such as missing Bluetooth and mobile hot Spot support. But, overall it could be considered as a pretty nice buy within an $800 budget.
