      Toshiba - Portégé R500-10U

      Review summary: Looking for a laptop that you can carry around all day and not notice it? Then you might want to take a look at Toshiba's Portégé R500-10U. In fact, you could carry this one around all ...

      Toshiba Portege R500

      By Will Smith

      Review summary: When we first laid eyes on Toshiba's latest ultraportable, we were in awe of its crazy-thin, crazy-light profile. In the past, such notebooks sacrificed performance to fit into such tiny shells. To combat this performance sag, Toshiba paired its ...

      Pros: So, so tiny. Transflective screen rocks! Amazing battery life

      Cons: More flexible than we usually like our notebooks

      Verdict: Toshiba filled the R500 with loads of features. We love its full-size keyboard, 120GB hard disk (a 64GB solid-state drive is optional), and 12.1-inch 1280x800 widescreen display. But the best feature is the sunlight-friendly transflective nature of ...

      Toshiba Portégé R500-U10: Toshiba Portégé R500-U10

      Review summary: The most remarkable thing about the Toshiba Portégé R500-U10 is its 800g weight. It's easily the lightest 12.1in laptop we've ever looked at and, for a fully functional notebook, it's an incredible piece of design.

      Pros: Incredibly lightweight, Decent battery life, Good specification

      Cons: Prone to scratches, Expensive

      Verdict: A remarkably light laptop, but its delicate construction is a disappointment
