It's powered by a second-generation Intel Core i5 dual-core processor, which provides breakthrough digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing.

Other features include an ultra-fast USB 3.0 port, SuperMulti drive that can burn a plethora of disc formats, built-in webcam with Face Recognition, and HDMI video output for connecting to a compatible monitor or HDTV.

This Portege comes pre-installed with the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (learn more below).

Toshiba Resolution+ Technology

The R835 includes Toshiba's exclusive Resolution+ technology, which upconverts standard DVDs so you get a sharper, more vibrant picture that looks and feels more like HD.

Here's the problem: No matter how sharp the screen, your collection of standard-def DVDs is bound to look grainy. Resolution+ solves that problem by breathing new life into your favorite flicks.

Here's how it works: Color Correction and RGB Gamma improve brightness, color saturation, contrast, and hue. Next, Advanced Color Image fine tunes environmental and character colors--like sky, grass, leaves and skin--to give these images a more natural appearance. The standard definition video of your DVD is converted from a low to a higher resolution so you can enjoy your DVD movies with sharper image clarity and contrast on your HD display.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, February 9, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Port�g� R835-P94 13.3-Inch Laptop (Magnesium Blue) (Personal Computers)
Just got this last week and cannot get over the battery life. Given my last laptop had me looking for an outlet every 45 minutes, the all day life on this is amazing. The computer is zippy, effortlessly handled every program I've thrown at it thus far, is extremely light (3lbs), and looks sleek. Basically, I love it.

A few con's:
*hate chrome, the hinges are not my cup of tea
*the eco utility does this weird dimming thing randomly, kind of annoying but I rarely use that power setting anyway.
*backlit keyboard wouldve been the cherry on the top.

Aside from that, no issues so far. Definitely recommend the laptop

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good laptop & value, March 8, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Port�g� R835-P94 13.3-Inch Laptop (Magnesium Blue) (Personal Computers)
I haven't had this one very long, but after installing some high end programs (Adobe CS-5 suite, Corel Draw X5, Video Studio pro, and MS Office) and running them, I am very pleased with the results. No problems at all installing or running the programs. I loaded and edited eight high res photos in Photoshop with no problems. The small screen doesn't give me the view or capabilities of my 25" monitor & desktop computer, and I would not like to do any serious graphic design work on the Toshiba, but for what it was intended for, it does very well.

If you would like to see more reviews on the Toshiba R835-P94, look at the Toshiba R835-P81, it is the same computer except the P94 also has Bluetooth and is over $100 cheaper. The P94 is an Amazon exclusive, which probably accounts for the lower price. The P81 comes with 6 GB of ram while the P94 only has 4 GB. The 4 GB of ram is fine for most applications and most users, but I like to max-out my ram. I bought two 4 GB high speed... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Laptop, March 7, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba Port�g� R835-P94 13.3-Inch Laptop (Magnesium Blue) (Personal Computers)
Got this R835-P94 as an full-function alternative to an ultra laptop or netbook for a trip to Jamaica and general use afterwards. Worked great in all regards, battery life is super, quick for all Office Pro and Photoshop/Premier Elements use. Bluetooth & WiFi connections no problems either, and good sized hard drive too - the 2000+ pics & videos we took didn't put a dent in it.

Was concerned that the screen might be too small as I was used to a 17" laptop and desktop screen size, but not a prob at all for me.

Only downsides were the glossy screen which I knew about going in and the chiclet keyboard which I did not.

Only thing I would have liked was a backlit keyboard because I did use it at night and my touch-typing hadn't come up to speed with the chiclet keys, but this had everything else at a good price.
