Toshiba’s Business Solutions Division (BSD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced that it is expanding its portfolio of products designed for Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMB) to include the Portégé® R30 laptop, a premium ultraportable PC.
The thin and light Portégé R30 offers the ultimate in mobility and unparalleled performance with a 4th GenerationIntel® Mobile Performance processor without sacrificing battery life. Users will enjoy a wealth of features – including a built-in DVD drive – in a laptop that is only about one inch thin and starts at just 3.2 pounds and backed by the Toshiba Quality Guarantee.
“As today’s SMB businesses have become increasingly reliant on mobility, they need a laptop that is ultra-portable, but without sacrificing the performance and features of an enterprise class PC,” said Carl Pinto, vice president of products, engineering and marketing, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Business Solutions Division. “The Portégé R30 offers full performance, durability and battery life in a slim, 13-inch form factor, enabling increased productivity and flexibility for mobile workers, at an affordable price point and an unmatched quality guarantee.”
Full Performance in a Thin-and-Light Design
The Portégé R30 offers full performance – plus a built-in optical drive – without the burden of a bulky laptop. Users will have all the speed they need to work and create with a 4th GenerationIntel Mobile Performance processor, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, and up to a 1TB hybrid hard drive or 512GB solid state drive. Built-in Intel® vPro™ technology, plus Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and a Fingerprint Reader provide the extra security IT departments require.
Toshiba Quality Guarantee
To further demonstrate its commitment to quality and reliability, Toshiba is including the Toshiba Quality Guarantee on the Portégé R30 laptops. The Toshiba Quality Guarantee means, if the LCD panel, hard drive, memory or system board fails within the first six months of ownership, Toshiba will replace the entire unit with a new Portégé R30.
Designed for Durability
Encased in a premium magnesium alloy Tough Body chassis, the Portégé R30 offers increased protection with a shock-absorbing design and a unique honeycomb reinforcement structure for increased rigidity and durability. It also features Toshiba’s innovative EasyGuard® technology to help safeguard the laptop’s critical components against the stress and hazards of today’s mobile world. The Portégé R30 undergoes rigorous spill, drop and Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), and features a highly efficient cooling technology that keeps the device cool.
Full-size Ports for Dongle-free Convenience
With the Portégé R30, mobile workers can share and sync for greater efficiency with a full range of essential ports – three USB 3.0 ports plus a full-size HDMI®, media card reader and LAN port. Additionally, the latest USB 3.0 Sleep & Charge lets users charge their tablets and phones even while the laptop is off. This laptop enhances on-the-go convenience even further with up to an 8 hour battery – and can extend the workday – with a user-replaceable battery. The laptop also shares a common docking station and other accessories with other Tecra® and Portégé laptops for greater enterprise efficiency.
Pricing and Availability
The Portege R30 has an MSRP of $829.99 and is available through Toshiba’s Resellers and partners such as CDW, PC Connection and Zones.
