I reviewed the R500 a while ago, and I have to say then I was pretty impressed with this ultra portable machine, and I have always said if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Well Toshiba went ahead and fixed it. But don’t worry they didn’t ruin it they made it a whole lot better.
“With seven world’s first technologies the Portégé R500 series has served as a technology launching pad and redefined the ultraportable marketplace with its world’s first technologies and ‘green’ attributes, such as a transreflective LED backlit indoor/outdoor viewing display, the industry’s highest rated EPEAT Gold laptop and Energy Star 4.0 compliance,” said Jeff Barney, general manager and vice president, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “First to incorporate a 128GB solid state drive is another major accomplishment for Toshiba and illustrates how the company is committed to delivering solutions that meet the needs of our customers.”
