Toshiba decided to go for well sized touchpad. Once you're looking
for the buttons you'll be in for a surprise. The left as well as the right
button need quite a substantial amount of force until they release. For the left
click this can be solved by tapping the touchpad, which results in the same
gesture but for a right click you'll have to use the button in the bottom right
corner. Fortunately when steering the cursor over the display the touchpad is
very precise and furthermore you can program a gesture where you tap the
touchpad with three fingers and then it opens a program.

At a first glance the Z830 looks like a very nice device. But as soon as you take it into your hands you'll feel that the magnesium aluminium alloy is very thin and starts to bend quickly. Especially with the cover lid it's the bending angles are almost frightening. Furthermore there is the keyboard and the touchpad with the very short keydrop. One millemeter keydrop more would have helped a lot in this case. With its 1'110 gramms the Z830 is the lightest Ultrabook on the market but unfortunately this comes at quite a cost. | - Design - Weight - SSD - Price |

Toshiba equipped its 13.3 inch Ultrabook with a display that
definitely isn't above average. Although the TN panel offers good
brightness to use the device outside when the sun is shining the viewing
angles with 45 degrees horizontally and 10 degrees vertically are bad.
Luckily there is a matte display but the you see that the contrast ratio
is bad a again and black is more of a dark grey than black Another thing that could be improved concerns the keyboard. There is such a short key drop that it feels irritating to use it. Typing really isn't comfortable. Furthermore there is the same issue with the touchpads left and right key. You need way too much force until they release, which is a pity. Luckily the touchpad is precise. |

Performance / Battery Life | + | - | |
Equipped with a Core i5-2467M
dual core CPU that has four threads, clocked at 1.6 GHz and Intels
integrated graphics chip, the Z830 isn't the fastest notebook
we've ever tested. But that's also not what it's been built
for. Thanks to a quick SSD it feels very responsive. A closer look at battery life shows that the Z830 really has some stamina. It take more than four hours and thirty minutes until the device is going to shut down when you browse the web via using the integrated WiFi module. |

Recommendation | + | - | |
If you should be looking for the lightest of all Ultrabooks then you'll have to look at the Z830. If you're really interested in this device we recommend that you try the keyboard and touchpad to see wether you like it or not. | - Ultra portable | ||

We give the Z830 from Toshiba sufficient three out of five stars. | |||
