Toshiba uncovers its Z830 Ultrabook
JAPANESE LAPTOP MAKER Toshiba has announced its Z830 Ultrabook at the IFA show in Berlin.
The Z830 is the firm's first entry to the Ultrabook class. The laptop will have an Intel Core i processor, will weigh 1.12kg and will be 15.9mm thick. This is a little thicker than Lenovo's U300s but thinner than Apple's Macbook Air at its thickest point of 17mm. It will be lighter than both by around 200g.
Toshiba said, "These new systems offer impressive portability, durability and essential features with truly smart styling. The Z830 series devices will be available during the fourth quarter of 2011 in Europe."
The company claims the Z830 Ultrabook is 20 per cent lighter and 40 per cent thinner than its Portege R830 laptop. There will be a Portege Z830 and Satellite Z830 with the only difference being the option to upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional on the Portege.
Other than looking thin and pretty the Z830 will have up to 6GB of DDR3 RAM and a 128GB solid state drive. It will have a 13.3in screen, like other Ultrabooks, with 1366x768 resolution.
The Z830 will have a light and durable magnesium alloy casing and will feature WiFi, Bluetooth, VGA, HDMI, USB and support for Intel Wireless Display.
Like its other announcements at IFA Toshiba hasn't revealed any information on price. However, we do know that the Z830 Ultrabook will have a spill resistant keyboard. µ

1.) Chris Martin, thanks for including a photo of the Z830, the subject of the article. Hopefully the few lazy INQ writers who refuse to take the extra two minutes to add a photo or link will eventually follow suit, maybe even your illustrious leader.
2.) And you, Give me an IT...blah blah blah, you're obviously an effing idiot as screen sizes have always been measured in inches. Next, you'll be complaining that pixels aren't measured to metric sizes.
At first, I thought "hey, the Inquirer finally managed to cope with the metric system - welcome to the rest of the world in the 21st century!" Until I noticed "13.3in". Damn!
