Toshiba Portégé R600 – World’s Lightest, Fully-featured Notebook

At 2.4lbs, Toshiba claims that the new Portégé R600 is the world’s lightest full featured laptop PC.  The system packs quite a punch into the small package.  Features include a durable magnesium thin and light design, up to 5GB RAM, 128GB SSD, integrated DVD burner drive, and as much as 8 hours of battery life. The Portégé R600 also includes the latest wireless connectivity options and fingerprint security.  Of course, the Portégé R600 does not match the weight of some ultra-portables, but those notebooks do not include functionality present in the Toshiba system, such as an optical drive. The Toshiba Portégé R600 is priced at $2,399.
