Toshiba Portégé R500 laptop with 128GB SSD
The Portege R500 ultra portable is the world’s first notebook computer with 128GB solid state disk, designed for business professionals who are looking for a small form factor machine with decent specification, including good battery life. The 12.1-inch laptop weighs 2.4 pound and measures as thin as 0.77-inches. In addition, the machine ships with a 7mm DVD SuperMulti drive, further reducing the weigh of Portégé R500-S5007V.
The most interesting feature of this machine is Toshiba’s proprietary High Density Mounting Technology that enables dual-sided motherboard component mounting. This innovative technology produces a motherboard that is one-third the size of a mainstream 15.4-inch notebook’s motherboard, while still providing users the same functionality.
The notebook features the world’s first 12.1-inch transreflective LED backlit display so that you can view the screen clearly while out on the road. The transreflective screen lets the sun’s light pass through and reflects it out to bring the images on the display to life so you can switch off the LED backlighting while outdoors and decrease overall battery consumption.
Battery is the main lifeline of any business professional’s machine. And Toshiba makes sure that your work doesn’t suffer due to low-battery life by providing more than eight hours of battery juice.
As for security, it incorporates Toshiba’s EasyGuard Technology including advanced encryption, multiple level passwords and a fingerprint reader.
