  1. Buy Toshiba Portègè A30D Ultrabook

    0

    (0)

    The Toshiba Portègè A30D is a 13.3" office notebook, which can be seen both as a light and as a compact notebook or a quite heavy and slightly bulky UltraBook. Those who do not expect record-breaking size and weight will get a mobile companion with docking port and many security features. Moreover, the case is quite solid.

    An easily replaceable battery and silent operation are advantages, which not every device of this category delivers. However, the Toshiba Portègè A30D also has flaws, which we do not want to conceal: The touchpad did sometimes not work flawlessly, the sound system is sub-par even for an office notebook, and the SSD has fast read speed but an extremely low capacity and delivers relatively poor write rates so users that download or install lots of stuff should be warned.

    Key characteristics

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Intel Gigabit Ethernet I219-V Ethernet + Intel Wireless-AC 8265 Wi-Fi a/b/g/h/n/ac w/Bluetooth 4,0

    • Ports: 3xUSB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, Docking Station, Ethernet, 3.5 Audio Jack, SD Card Reader

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

    • Weight; 1.5kg

    Gaming Benchmarks:

    • The Witcher 3 (Low Detail @1280x720):  (Unplayable)
    • Rise of the Tomb Raider (Ultra Low Detail @1280x720): (Unplayable)
    • Farm Simulator 17 (Medium Detail @1366x768): (Playable)

     

    Reviews on other sites

    • Solid attractive chassis

    • Windows 10 Pro with Bitlocker support
    • Easily removable battery

    • Long battery life

    Contras:

    • Relatively large and heavy for a 13,3" Ultrabook
    • No Thunderbolt 3 and/or DisplayPort
    • Strange keyboard layout
    • Viewing angle stability is sub-par for IPS standard (but may be caused by Toshiba trying to make something similar to HP SureView for improved privacy)
    • As typical of Toshiba their SSD drive storage is particularly slow
    • Bad speakers

     

    Conclusion

    The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for any first time enterprise professional that values security over design.
