Lisa Gade reviews the Toshiba Portege R30 ultraportable laptop. The R30 is a 13.3″ machine with more ports, expandability and drives than you'd find on an Ultrabook, yet it still weighs just 3.25 pounds. The 1″ thick Portege R30 runs on Intel 4th gen full...

Toshiba tends to take its time when it comes to new fads like Ultrabooks, or even updating its laptops with the latest Haswell processors. True to form, its Portégé R30 is a distinctly unassuming mid-range laptop with a modest specification and little in...
The Toshiba Portégé R30-A-14K's lo-res TN display is disappointing in a laptop costing £900. However, the laptop's relatively lightweight design and long-lasting battery ensure that it could earn its keep when on the move. The hard drive's shock-protectio...
