    I've decided that the U405 is the laptop I'd like to purchase but what is the difference between the S830 and S833. I went to the Toshiba website, printed out the information on both models and there seems to be zero difference. Any ideas??? Thanks!

    It might help if you could say what country you are buying from. If you could link to the notebook specs that would help as well.

    The difference is S833 has a 9 cell battery and S830 has a 6 cell battery

    S830 is 4800mAh (lower battery life & battery does not stick out)
    S833 is 7200mAh (higher battery life & battery sticks 3/4' out the back of the laptop)
