subject: 13-inch Toshiba L730-t02r Review [print this page] With stylish and colorful shell design, the Toshiba Satellite L Series notebook computers in the young people have a good reputation. In the spring of this year's L-Series product line, Toshiba comprehensive upgrade to the L700, L730, L750, not only has a stylish new color options and patterns, more fully upgrade the hardware configuration, but still maintained a very high price.
Today's hero is the Toshiba L730-T02R, same with Toshiba L700 Satellite series, but body size does reduce to 13 inches (L700 14 inches). Toshiba L730 Sandy Bridge architecture with a new processor, and integrated next-generation Core HD3000 graphics card, while L700 is the older generation Core processors with entry-level graphics card. Core Sandy Bridge architecture is able to replace the entry-level graphics card? Based on this, we pick one of two representative L-Series products, both old and new platforms to see how much difference in the end.
Beautiful bright red appearance of the more portable 13 inches exquisite body
Design on the same Toshiba L730 and L700, Toshiba L730 different body size is only 13.3 inches, both out of office or home entertainment, L730 will have a more portable mobile experience. Evaluation of this Toshiba L730-T02R is a red rose blooming wild appearance, roof design with piano paint a high gloss, very bright in the light, giving a gorgeous fashion sense, it is more biased in favor of women users.
Toshiba L730's body in the thickness of the product in the same size and color not too out of place on the whole still followed the standards of previous generations of product design, the thinnest at 28mm, the thickness at 37mm (this is basically the same thickness and L700 .) L730 weight is 1.908kg, travel weight of 2.238kg.
Screen, the Toshiba L730 uses a 13.3-inch 16:9 LED backlit widescreen display with 14-inch L700 with a resolution of 1366 768. 13.3-inch field of vision because of a relatively small area, so the image display than the 14-inch L700 looks more comfortable.
Keyboard feels more rigid
Toshiba Satellite L730 series continues the gorgeous Japanese style, mainly from two parts, one is the roof design, followed by the keyboard part. Toshiba L730 using the entire piano keyboard part of the baking process, this can be integrated with the roof, so that the whole performance is more beautiful.
The Toshiba L730 and L700 compact keyboard looks almost exactly the same as at first glance, but actually the keyboard work of these two products is not the same, L730 wide adoption of the touch keyboard keycap Korea off the use of tactile baking, and L700 to maintain the traditional matte texture of the keycap.
Because body size petite 13-inch, touch pad design, a relatively small number, for men with large hands, the control region can be a bit cramped, but for the female preference for small-size notebook users, the Toshiba L730 touch indeed the most appropriate board. Above the user-friendly touch pad designed specifically for independent control keys, Fengyun independent of the physical buttons used to control the touchpad on and off, compared to the commonly used shortcut key combination Fn + faster.
Thermal performance is extremely good but the interface design Lueqian heat
Although the same range of products, but the Toshiba L730 and L700 of interface design can be completely different. Toshiba L730 which will be designed to the right side of the outlet, while the low frequency drive on the left.
Most of the users are to use the mouse with the right hand, then placed in the right side of the vents when the temperature is too high will reduce the user's comfort. But the move with this problem does not exist, because very few users are also carrying out a lot of computers with accessories, which is also a 13.3-inch Toshiba L730 another user of a design is more tangled. Another problem is that Toshiba L730 right side of the interface, too dense, headset hole, SATA / USB composite interface, HDMI, RJ45, VGA and even security keyhole are crowded together.
In MobileMark 2007 battery life test to get 3 hours of battery life results in the same size products in general. The main reason is that only a 4200mAh battery capacity is too small to support a longer life. If users want to get a longer battery life, consider purchasing a larger capacity Quguan network lithium-ion battery.
Running at full capacity by 2 hours after we found the right side of the keyboard area is relatively high temperatures, because this is the outlet located, but we see no more than the body temperature and surface temperature, so the user can get a good daily use cool experience. Overall, 13.3-inch body Toshiba Equium L40-156 battery size by the effects of thermal conditions Toshiba L730's performance is still very good.
Sandy Bridge Rush old i3 + GT525
Toshiba L730-T02R in the configuration on the selected entry-level Core i3-2310 processor, clocked at 2.1GHz, 3M has a high-speed three-level cache, integrated Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics card. Body with 2GB DDR3 memory and 320GB hard drive, built-in DVD burner, DVD SuperMulti Double Layer. Windows 7 Home Basic pre-installed system. Machine configuration balanced, there is no obvious short-board.
PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC's overall performance. Test test content can be divided into the processor, graphics test, hard disk test. SYSMark family of software is in the real, appropriate applications and simulate real users on the computer to come to the computer's operating performance data. It can use the scientific method will be widely attributed to the findings can be applied as a model, and the idea of combining a variety of test software to evaluate a system's performance. Through these two basic test system can detect the machine's performance.
Toshiba L730-T02RC uses the latest Intel Core i3 2310M processor, which is a Sandy Bridge architecture with a new generation of processors, the performance has been enhanced not only in graphics performance has also been a leap in development, it The intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics core for entry-level graphics cards alone were a threat has been formed. We selected another L700-C50B is the use of i3 380M + entry-level NVIDIA GeForce 525M significant independence
3DMark06 mainly use the latest generation of game technology to measure level of DirectX 9 3D hardware, you can test the basic understanding of the hardware game graphics performance. See this set of data Toshiba Equium L40 battery we can say or face of the four hands, fists, even GT525M has started could not be started, the integrated graphics core HD3000 or can offer. Visible alternative to Intel's entry-level graphics cards mentioned should refer to the previous generation such as the NVIDIA GeForce 210M products.
Summary
Toshiba L730 there are many color options, the pursuit of individual users can choose according to their own favorite. The compact body products, mobile portability is good, more suitable for entering the workplace who need to move the business office. In addition to its outlet and the right side of the fuselage interface design is poorly TOSHIBA Equium L20-264 battery conceived and not well adapted to the habits of most users. However, this product is still relatively high cost, can accept some of the shortcomings we need to consider the user's own.
