Toshiba's updated R500 is a remarkably compact and complete machine, making it ideal for business travellers. However, at $3,300 you are paying extra for the privilege of a lighter load, and the screen is a little flimsy.
What a difference a year can make. Toshiba's R400 made quite the impression when it was launched a small, lightweight, brilliantly sensitive tablet that packed in features with some serious style. Now, it's boxy and large for what's offered inside, and is seriously out of style and overpriced.
Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.
Though it's a tad expensive, the Toshiba Portege R200 is a well-designed ultraportable with enough speed and battery life for business travellers.
Toshiba's R10 Tablet offers consumers a chance to bite at the Tablet PC concept. While it's an acceptable notebook in its own right, the tablet features won't go far enough for most to make it a worthwhile purchase.
