- How Toshiba's 128GB SSD-equipped Portégé R500 stacks up
- Toshiba has released what it says is the first laptop with a 128GB SSD. Technically, the 17-inch Alienware Area-51 m9750 can be configured with two 64GB SSDs, but Toshiba gets credit for shipping the first laptop equipped with a 128GB SSD that you'd actually want to carry anywhere. ...

- Toshiba Portege M700-S7002
- The business-oriented Toshiba Portege M700 borrows and improves upon features found on the company's lighter and more expensive flagship Tablet PC, the Portege R400. For example, the Portege M700 incorporates the same useful display anchors, which keep the screen from wobbling, that we first saw on the R400. The Portege...

- Toshiba Portege R500-S5003
- When we first saw the Toshiba Portege R500 back in the summer of 2007, it quickly became one of our favorite ultraportable laptops--and one of our favorite laptops overall. Thanks to its small size, light weight, and plentiful extras, the R500 was very close to the final word in ultraportable...

- Video: Toshiba's sub-2 pound Portégé R500 includes optical drive, all-day battery
- As you can see in the attached video taped at Digital Life in New York City, I can vouch for the fact that Toshiba's Portégé R500 sub-notebook has a built-in optical drive for CD-ROMs and DVDs. You hardly ever see this in a sub-notebook because they take up so much...

- Perhaps the laptop we've been most looking forward to checking out this year, Toshiba's Portege R500 is very close to the final word in ultraportable systems. Incredibly thin and light, it manages to squeeze a 12-inch display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150. While there have...

- The follow-up to Toshiba's prior-generation Portege M200, the new Portege M400 is the first convertible tablet PC to offer Intel's Core Duo processor as an option. The system combines its new CPU with some nice convertible-tablet standards, such as a swiveling 12.1-inch display and a swappable optical drive. Still, though...
