On Geekbench 3, a synthetic test that measures overall speed, the Z30t-B reached a score of 6,401. With a 2.6-GHz Intel Core i7-5600U processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, our review configuration blew away other business ultraportables in our performance tests. The Portege Z30t-B's internals make it a real workhorse. However, the photos looked a little grainy, even near the windows in our well-lit office. I could see individual hairs on my head and the line around the collar on my shirt.
The 2-megapixel webcam takes color-accurate photos with plenty of detail.
#TOSHIBA PORTEGE DRIVERS AUSTRALIA 1080P#
When I watched the 1080p trailer for Captain America: Civil War individual shards of glass appeared crisp and easy to identify during a scene when the captain broke through a window. The 13.3-inch touch-screen display is fairly bright, incredibly accurate and can reproduce 99.6 percent of the sRGB spectrum (100 percent is excellent). Sometimes, I gave up and switched back to the trackpad. However, I longed for a center scroll button when I had to move my mouse to my browser's scroll bar to navigate up and down a Web page. It's comfortable to use, and the two buttons situated above the trackpad are nice and clicky. Like other business-focused notebooks, this one offers a pointing stick, which provides highly accurate navigation without making you lift your fingers off of the home row.
But even when I enabled them, they sometimes didn't register, causing me to repeat my motion. Three- and four-finger gestures, like swiping three fingers down to show the desktop, are disabled by default.
Two-finger gestures like scrolling and pinch-to-zoom worked consistently but exhibited occasional lag. My experience using gestures was a mixed bag, however. The 4 x 3.25-inch buttonless touchpad was a bit slippery but mostly accurate as I navigated my way around the desktop.
