This, readers, is the [Toshiba](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Toshiba/) Portege Z835, and it's on its way to a Best Buy near you. As *Laptop Magazine* reports, the company's new [Ultrabook](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Ultrabook/) (and latest addition to the [Z830](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/toshibas-portege-z830-is-an-ultraslim-ultrasexy-ultrabook/) family) is available exclusively at Best Buy for $899, fulfilling Toshiba's promise to break that sub-$1,000 barrier. (At the moment, we're not seeing it on the retailer's website, though we expect it to pop up pretty soon.) By comparison, that's $400 less than the comparably sized [MacBook Air](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/dnp-stub-apple-refreshes-macbook-air-with-sandy-bridge-thunderb/) and about $300 less than ASUS' [Zenbook UX31](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/asus-zenbook-ux31-review/). Weighing in at less than 2.5 pounds, this featherweight is powered by a 1.4GHz Intel Core i3 CPU, boasts a 13.3-inch display with 1366 x 768 resolution and ships with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. But is it *worth it*? Well, we're currently testing our model, and will have a review for you to consume in the very near future.
