Toshiba Portege R500 Upgraded to 128GB SSD

That's a lot of numbers in the headline. Just know that the Toshiba Portege R500—an acclaimed 12.1" ultraportable—has officially gotten the rumored upgrade to a 128GB solid state hard drive. That's twice the SSD storage we see in the Lenovo X300 or the MacBook Air. Still priced at $2,999, the new 2.4-pound Portege R500-S5007V also features a 1.33GHz Core 2 Duo processor, DVD burner, 2GB RAM, and plenty of other goodies. For the full details, here's the mega press release: More »

Toshiba Ratchets Portege R500 SSD Up To 128GB

Toshiba's under-2-lb. Portege R500 will get its SSD boosted to 128GB, though at a still undeclared but likely super high price, says UK's Register. The machines get a bit of a chip upgrade, too, from Intel's 1.2GHz U7600 Core 2 Duo to a 1.33GHz U7700. The R500 is, to my knowledge, the lightest PC with an internal DVD burner, at least in the US market, but I can't back it 100% because of a little problem called Vista. More »

Is MacBook Air Worth the Money? Five Slim Laptops Face Off

Updated with battery life stats, by popular demand. We can all agree that the MacBook Air is a slick-looking little laptop. It's so thin! You can't argue with that! But if you're in the market for a small, high-performance laptop, is it the best option? I pored over specs for four similarly positioned and more-or-less similarly priced laptops to see if you'll get your $1,800 worth out of the Air. Let's go to the chart, shall we? More »

Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet Has Touchable Screen, LED Backlighting

If you're a tablet person, you should take a look at Toshiba's latest, the Portege M700. It's got a 12.1" LCD screen, the first from Toshiba with LED backlighting and an antiglare coating for maximum indoor/outdoor performance. The screen has another talent too: unlike many Tablet PCs, this can be touched with your finger rather than the stylus, for extra flexibility. It comes with other features not seen on some earlier Toshiba's, such as a built-in webcam. And it has stuff that Toshiba buyer's look for, like a fingerprint reader, spill resistant-keyboard and accelerometer-based HDD protection. Unlike competitor's models, the Portege M700 still comes with a "tablet" level price: $1700. And up. (Jump for press release.) More »

Toshiba Portege R500 1.73 Pound Ultra-Portable Notebook Goes Solid State

The 2.4-pound Toshiba Portege R500 may have cleared the FCC, but its younger, slimmer brother just weighed in at 1.73 pounds. How did Toshiba do it? By swapping out a standard hard drive and putting in a 64GB solid-state flash drive. The R500-S5003 has no moving parts (there's no DVD drive), and will cost $2,699. If you want an integrated optical DVD SuperMulti drive, tack on another $300 and get the R500-S5004 for $2,999. Definitely two great options for the businessman who wants to travel light. And with no moving parts, it's slightly less likely to break when you drop it. State? STAAAATE?! [Toshiba via Sci Fi]

Toshiba Portege R500 Ultra-Portable Notebook Gets HSDPA, FCC Clearance

That super light 2.4-pound Toshiba Portege ultra-portable (previous version here) has gotten a little upgrade in the form of 3.5G HSDPA connectivity. That's right, you'll soon be able to take this laptop out anywhere and still be able to get online and upload your own YTMNDs, thanks to the GSM, GPRS, EGPRS, WCDMA and WCDMA+HSDPA support. The good news is, the laptop's already cleared the FCC, so you may get it sooner than you think (if you think that it's coming out in Q4 2007). Full specs after the jump.

Toshiba Portege G900 Screen Video

You saw the unboxing video of the Toshiba G900 yesterday, but Matt from Tracy and Matt have a video of the screen up today. It's hard to tell from the video (screens are here), but that 800x480 is really huge. And in a device only slightly bigger than other slide-out-keyboard Windows Mobile smartphones, this seems like the Peter North of WM screens. But slightly less wet. More »

Toshiba Portege High-Resolution Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone Unboxed

We've seen the Toshiba G900 Windows Mobile 6 smartphone work its way past the FCC already, but Matt from Tracy and Matt have an unboxing of the 800x400-enabled touchscreen phone up now. They compare it to similar HTC phones and Samsung WM phones and pretty much come out with the conclusion that this is gigantic. We wish they'd fire up the screen so we can see what that huge resolution looks like, but that'll be in the next video. Hopefully. More »
