- Good points:
- SSHD means very fast startup and shutdown. Beatiful design and very light weight.
- Bad points:
- Fan is a bit noisy and it would be good if a proper docking facility was available.

- Good points:
- Whole package feels well put together. Like the full size Ethernet port.
- Bad points:
- Competitor's claim their battery life is better, but would need to check under equal conditions.

Mark, Often on the move
- Good points:
- Very stylish, slim, light and ultra portable. One of the best entry level ultrabooks
- Bad points:
-
The battery does not last any where near 8 hours. 5 hours at best on eco mode with WiFi; the lowest setting. High performance will see your battery exhausted in little over 2 hours.
Of course the infamous fan noise but this is less of a problem for me, the BIOS update does a half decent job of reducing the distraction

Laptop Buyers GuideManufacturer's Description
THE ULTRA LIGHT ULTRABOOK
The Satellite Z830 is incredibly thin, light & powerful, and despite being just 1.12kg light and 0.83cm thin, packs in a battery that lasts up to 8 hours and features extensive connectivity including 3 x USB, HDMI and SD ports. All of this technology is encased in a striking and stylish brushed metal design.
from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 403 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or













James, Bristol Business user
Score 8.0/10nice design
smooth keyboard but takes getting used too
backlit keyboard is a major plus
matt screen is fantastic
Windows start up is fantastic
VGA output
ability to turn off mousepad
weird fan - slightly noisy when CPU is loaded but not constant
has a a power saving USB port saving thing that screwed with an external hard drive but this can be overcome.
