Tired of trade-offs with lightweight laptops? At just 1.5 kg, the Toshiba Portégé R30 tips the scale like an ultra-portable, but packs a punch like a heavyweight. Toshiba put in many things left out of other lightweight computers, such as a DVD drive and a wide range of full-size ports. That's because we know you might just need your Ethernet port in the office, or USB 3.0 ports on the road. And with both VGA and HDMI, you'll be ready for all presentation settings. Intel® Core™ processors give you great performance and save energy at the same time. But not only does the R30 pack a punch, it can take one, too. That's thanks to the magnesium chassis that has been reinforced with the proven Toshiba honeycomb internal structure and rigorously tested for drops and spills by independent German institute, TÜV Rheinland. The robust build is supplemented by an extensive list of manageability, security and investment-protection features designed to keep data safe, avoid downtime and lower cost of ownership. The lightweight, no-compromise Portégé® R30 will delight users and IT managers alike.
Take your performance to a new level with the 33.8 cm (13.3") Portégé R30. The power inside is an efficient Intel® Core™ processor that dazzles in all situations. Whether you're multi-tasking or running a power-hungry graphics application, the CPU and improved integrated HD graphics get the job done at a clip and save power at the same time. You get a full 9 hours on a charge. That's perfect for long flights or full-day meetings.
Many professionals can't do without a DVD drive. That's why, unlike many ultra-portables, the Portégé R30 features a built-in SuperMulti DVD Drive that reads and writes the most popular disc formats. You also get the choice of fast 7200 rpm HDDs or even faster state-of-the-art SSD drives. You'll be hard put to find a 1.5 kg light laptop with more drive choices.
The no-compromise attitude of the Portégé R30 extends to the connectivity options. VGA and HDMI let you plug into any presentation environment without hassle. The convenient SD card slot lets you share files and load programmes quickly and easily. Three fast USB 3.0 ports are also available to transfer data or charge your devices. Gigabit LAN allows you to take advantage of high-speed local networks, while support for high-speed Bluetooth 4.0, WLAN, and mobile broadband keeps you working wirelessly when no office LAN is available. And since the ports are full size, there's no risk of forgetting that much-needed adapter when you have to pack quickly.
The Portégé R30 is a no-compromise presenter, too. The non-reflective, back-lit 33.8 cm (13.3”) Toshiba High Definition Display makes for vibrant bright viewing in small groups whether inside or outdoors. Use the VGA or HDMI port to connect to projectors and displays in diverse meeting settings. And gone are the days when poor speaker quality prevents your presentations from having their full impact. The Portégé® R30 comes with built-in stereo speakers that are enhanced with DTS Studio Sound™ for a richer laptop audio experience.
The Portégé R30 was built to last. The elegant and highly-durable chassis features Toshiba's reinforced honeycomb structure for rigidity and high-impact resistance. Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) tests the laptop under extreme conditions, including drops, sudden shocks and spills. The HDDs are padded against shocks and use a sophisticated 3D accelerometer to shut down the drive when it senses unexpected shock or vibration. Its ultra-durable design minimises the risk of data loss, downtime and repairs, ensuring maximum productivity.
The internal layout of the Portégé R30 integrates a long-lasting battery into its slender casing. The use of energy-efficient components makes the most of every charge. This means you can enjoy up to 9 hours runtime without needing to recharge or compromise on the thin, lightweight design. And if you need even longer battery life, unlike most Ultrabooks, the battery is replaceable so you can carry an extra battery to double your range.
Having served businesses with their laptop needs for over 25 years, Toshiba knows what IT departments want. Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) allows remote updates of users' systems. Self-encrypted drives and the Intel® Trusted Platform Module (TPM) help safeguard valuable data on the user's hard disc against theft. A fingerprint reader, Kensington® lock slot and optional smart card reader are also provided for added security. And the laptop can be docked into the same docking station as many other Toshiba business laptops to make the most of your investment when you buy across the range.
