Dynabook Portégé® X30L-G notebook
I have had the pleasure of owning notebooks from Dynabook’s predecessor Toshiba for both work and leisure in the past.

I am pleased to confirm that not only did Dynabook further refine what Toshiba has left off; they have set a new benchmark for the ultra-light notebook category.
