  • Small, narrow keys, Short battery life, Windows 8 software is out of sync on such a compact laptop

  • Cheap construction, TN display with weak viewing angles, Below-average keyboard, High-pitched, clanging speakers, Low webcam quality
  • Cheaper than a high-end smartphone Toshiba Chromebook CB30-102The Toshiba CB30-102 adds to the list of inexpensive Chromebooks. The browser OS seems to have matured. If you are ready to use your Google account instead of local storage, Windows software an...

  • Lightweight, Keyboard is smooth and responsive, Great sound
  • Uninspiring trackpad, Screen is washed out and a little dark, 2GB RAM is not really sufficient
  • Toshiba has done a pretty decent job with the CB30. It's an admirable first effort, overall it's responsive, nice to use and fairly light meaning it doesn't weigh heavily on your lap when you're using it and you won't break your back carrying it around al...
