While we noticed a hint of flatness in Beyonce's "Girl (Run The World)" video and the lack of bass, dialogue in the "Mirror Mirror" trailer was loud, crisp and clear.Īfter 15 minutes of running a full-screen Hulu video, the touchpad, space between the G and H keys and the underside of the laptop registered a cool 79, 82, and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. They easily filled our small testing room with loud, clear audio. Horizontal viewng angles were rather shallow: at 45 degrees to either side, images became dark and difficult to distinguish.ĭon't underestimate the R835-P55's pair of diminutive speakers. While the colors were captivating, we noticed some graininess during darker scenes.
When we watched the 1080p YouTube trailer of "Mirror Mirror," we enjoyed the rich gold of the castle spires, as well as the deep blues, greens, reds, and violets in the party guests' attire as they twirled across the dance floor. However, the glossy display delivered deep vibrant color.
In fact, it's 64 lux below the ultraportable category average. The two discrete mouse buttons delivered the firm, springy feedback we wished we could have felt in the keyboard.Īt 170 lux, the Toshiba Portege R835's 13.3-inch 1366 x 768p display isn't the brightest. Multitouch gestures such as pinch-zoom, two-finger scroll and rotate and three-finger press and rotate were quick and accurate. Our fingers glided effortlessly over the matte black surface. We loved the spacious 3.26 x 2-inch Synaptic touchpad. Typing as a whole wasn't the most pleasant experience the keys felt mushy and lack backlighting. It's not that big of a deal with most of the keys, but the space bar, Enter, and Shift keys felt somewhat unsubstantial. Since the R835's spill-resistant keyboard sits between the battery and the large touchpad, the keys are more squashed than on other keyboards. The US36SD-A1 and the Vostro V131 have a thickness of 0.8 inches, while the Portege Z835 cuts the slimmest figure at 12.4 x 8.9 x 0.3/0.6 inches. Compared with its competitors, the Portege R835-P88 is a bit thick at 12.4 x 8.9 x 0.7/1.1-inches. However, the R853-P88 seems positively chunky next to the 2.4-pound Toshiba Portege Z835 ultrabook. At 3.2 pounds, the R835-P88 is lighter than both the ASUS U36SD-A1 and the Dell Vostro V131 (3.6 and 4 pounds, respectively).
