Best Buy has put on sale the Toshiba Portege Z835-P330 model, the company’s first available ultrabook.
The 13.3-inch Portege Z835-P330 is currently the cheapest ultrabook on the US market, with a price of $800. This price is maybe a surprise for many, because the 0.6-inch thin 2.5-pound laptop was expected to start at about $1,000 after the first announcement. The Z835-P330 offers the Intel Core i3-2367M dual-core ultra-low voltage 1.4GHz processor with embedded graphics, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive. The inclusion of a 128GB SSD in an $800 ultrabook configuration is a big plus for the Z835-P330. For comparison, Acer’s S3 with a Core i5 processor and a traditional HDD was the cheapest ultrabook until now with an $840 price tag, while the similar SSD-equipped Lenovo’s U300s, Asus UX31E, and MacBook Air 13 start at more than $1,000.
