I don't understand why they don't sell it elsewhere. It was the same with the previous model I bought. You've got a full power, A4 sized, < 1kg laptop that gives you a full day's work on a charge. How can they not sell that? And eventually Toshiba decided they had to exit the laptop market because they couldn't make any money at it... It's baffling.

- deaddodo 7y agoThe do sell it here, it's just under a different brand name and model number: https://us.dynabook.com/computers/laptops/portege/X30/X30-F1338 https://us.dynabook.com/computers/laptops/portege/X30/X30-F1... It's ~1kg, but that's mostly due to additional RAM and the like.
- mikekchar 7y agoThat's not actually the same machine. There is a similar model on the Japanese side. It's missing some extra USB-A connectors and an actual network connector. I think the extra weight is actually because battery technology is different. It is possible that they can't sell the lighter / longer life battery in the US. But, you are right anyway. It's close enough :-) I'm glad they are finally realising that this is a useful configuration for some people.
