If your MacBook Air is particularly self conscious then tell it to look away now, as Toshiba’s Portege Z830 may very well induce a major bout of depression.

Measuring a wafer-thin 15.9mm at its thickest point, the 17mm MacBook Air and the 16.3mm Samsung Series 9 notebooks can only look on in envy as Tosh miraculously crams in a 128GB SSD, backlit keyboard, 6GB RAM and a 13.3in matte screen in to the 1.12kg body.

Coupled with Intel’s next-gen Sandy Bridge processors as well as HDMI, VGA, USB and Ethernet connections, the thinnest notebook on the block certainly seems to justify it’s estimated US$1,000 price tag.
