Welcome to a Laptep Adapter specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
The Toshiba CB30-A3120 Chromebook is a 13-inch device designed for web browsing, productivity through Google’s apps and document services, and light media consumption. Like other Chromebooks, it doesn’t run Windows, instead using Google’s ChromeOS, which simply exists to run the Chrome web browser and its associated apps. This new Toshiba model is a few inches larger than the last Chromebook we reviewed (the Acer C720), but will the CB30-A3120 handle the Chrome experience with the same ease as Acer’s smaller model? Read on to find out.
The A3120 with adapter such as Toshiba Satellite M205 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Tecra A7 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite L505D Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite T130 Ac Adapter, Toshiba TECRA R10 Ac Adapter, Toshiba terca 8200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A660 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3743U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3049U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3395U-1BRS Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3421U-1BRS Ac Adapter features a silvery-gray plastic body with a slightly textured top that is pleasing to the touch and is emblazoned with the Chrome and Toshiba logos. The smooth plastic around the screen, keyboard and bottom is not the most sturdy available, and pressing on the back of the screen and around the edges on the plastic causes noticeable screen rippling. Overall, the machine’s 3.3 lb body feels dense and well-balanced. The A3120 has two vents: one on the bottom in the center, and one at the rear of the machine left of the center. Together they keep the machine running cool overall, and are adequate at dissipating any heat that accrues through very strenuous use.
The non-replaceable 4-cell lithium ion battery in this Chromebook handled quite well when we tested it. Under normal use, with Bluetooth off and at near-maximum brightness, the battery gauge is listed at almost 11 hours at full capacity. To push the battery to its limits, we turned on Bluetooth and simultaneously ran a long, looping YouTube video, two Twitch streams, in addition to a Plex-streamed action movie. When subjected to these conditions, the battery life dropped to 4 hours and 40 minutes. This is not a normal scenario for use, though, and battery life will likely be much better than this for document editing and web browsing. Under typical conditions, it seems that the battery could power 10-11 hours or more of continuous use before being depleted, which speaks to the OS’s lightweight nature.
Overall the Toshiba CB30-A3120 is a good machine for its price point. While its screen doesn’t have the pixel density or richness of a smaller notebook with the same resolution, it isn’t necessarily bad unless you’re comparing it to much higher definition screens, and you won’t find any of those at $300 or less. Finding another 13-inch laptop with an ease of use comparable to this one’s would be difficult, and if you’re looking for a budget ChromeOS experience (possibly for a student) that features a larger screen than the Acer C720, we would recommend giving the A3120 a look.
