Great machine

By Barb and Craig Atkinson (Waldorf, MD USA)

This review is from: Toshiba Portege Z835-P370 13.3-Inch Ultrabook (Silver)

This is a great machine. I am a windows guy and I was looking for something lighter and more portable than my 2yr old 17.3" HP. This laptop fits the bill. It is very light but sturdy. Touchpad works great and I love the backlit keyboard. Typing if easy and responsive and I have large hands. Most of the connectors are in the back which is good...I hate it when the power cord is on the wrong side. Battery life has been good. I can generally go most of the day without having to charge it.

The wireless connectivity is good but I have not been able to get the Bluetooth to connected to my phones or other devices yet. I wish it came with some type of 3G/4G capability, but I knew that going in.

This machine is very fast. A reboot from within Win7 takes less than 30 seconds to shutdown and completely reboot. The 6Gb of RAM means everything run fast in memory. I wish the SSD hard drive was bigger because Toshiba takes nearly 20Gb for their recovery partition right off the top so my biggest concern is how quickly Win7 bloat fills it up.

Overall, I love this laptop and it is changing the way I do business.
