Toshiba’s Portege Z830 is the world’s thinnest laptop

Tosh is taking size zero to a whole new level with its shiny new Ultrabook

If your MacBook Air is particularly self conscious then tell it to look away now, as Toshiba’s Portege Z830 may very well induce a major bout of depression.

Measuring a wafer-thin 15.9mm at its thickest point, the 17mm MacBook Air and the 16.3mm Samsung Series 9 notebooks can only look on in envy as Tosh miraculously crams in a 128GB SSD, backlit keyboard, 6GB RAM and a 13.3in matte screen in to the 1.12kg body.

Coupled with Intel’s next-gen Sandy Bridge processors as well as HDMI, VGA, USB and Ethernet connections, the thinnest notebook on the block certainly seems to justify it’s estimated US$1,000 price tag.
