...The PortegeR500 is a new range of ultra-thin laptops by Toshiba. This laptop consists of a 12" (30 cm) wide screen display with an integrated optical drive. With the addition of the optical drive Toshiba's R500 range have become the thinnest laptops in the world which feature 7mm super-slim DVD SuperMulti drives.
The ToshibaPortegeR500-100 is one of many new Toshiba laptops that weigh just under 1 kilogram (0.98 kg to be exact). You will get an all day battery life, all day battery life meaning up to 8 hours depending on what you do on the laptop. For example. If you play the next generation of video games, then obviously a lot of processing power is required, which most definitely requires a large amount of electrical energy in a fairly small period of time.
With this laptop you have a Toshiba standard guarantee of 3 years...

Review of ToshibaPortegeR500
Advantages: stylish design, good display quality, convenient QWERTY keyboard Disadvantages: poor battery life, Windows language support issue, poor headphone sound, miniUSB audio jack
...I purchased a new ToshibaPortege 710 under VDA GPS(Vodafone) branding in Germany for about 100 Euro, and I must say that in my opinion the device has few, if any, competitors for the price, but I discovered a few drawbacks which I found more or less disappointing:
1) The battery life is really poor compared to a budget-class mobile phone I previously had. I've been using the phone for 3 weeks only, but the battery runs from fully charged to flat after 2 days of stand-by mode plus 15-20 minutes of talking. One of my intentions was to use the phone as a pocket e-book reader, but as I see reading at "bright" highlight level discharges the battery completely very quickly.
Strangely enough to me, the phone is losing datetime settings when the battery runs flat, so unless you charge it regularly you'll have to reset system time over...

Review of ToshibaPortege G710
Advantages: QWERTY keyboard, fingerprint security, bluetooth. wi-fi, windows mobile 6 Disadvantages: Costly, considerably large
...Toshiba are not renowned for their mobile phones, but more for their innovations in other technological areas. The ToshibaPortege G900 is one of a small minority of Toshiba mobile phones, and one of an even smaller minority of personal horizontal slider phones.
Loaded with mobile technology the ToshibaPortege G900 comes with an innovative fingerprint sensor and a full QWERTY Keyboard. The QWERTY keypad is very easy to use making the use of e-mail more efficient.
Being one of the first mobile phones to include Windows mobile 6 , you can read and reply to e-mails as soon as they arrive at your INBOX, you can organize your calendar and make use of the integrated and popular Microsoft Office applications. Other benefits of this phone are that it consists of a generously large 3" screen, two cameras (one for video calling as this...

Review of ToshibaPortege G900
Advantages: Finger print recognition, GPS functionality, video calling Disadvantages: High price, average features.
...The ToshibaPortege G500 was one of two smart phones released in the second quarter of 2007. However, with the introduction of Microsoft's new mobile operating system (Windows Mobile 6), Toshiba decided not to integrate the new system within the ToshibaPortege G500. Instead they went with the older Windows mobile 5 operating system. A wise choice?
This phone like the ToshibaPortege G900 has fingerprint recognition, which is a security bonus for all users who like to keep their personal files private and confidential. Also with the new finger print technology you can program the G500 to respond to different finger prints, giving you the option to create short cuts with each unique and individual finger print.
Windows mobile 5.0 as it is known, makes the G500 seem more like a portable PC than a mobile phone. Like many new smart...

Review of ToshibaPortégé G500
...The PortegeR500-100 is a featherweight machine that packs a welterweight punch. Some things are excellent - the weight obviously, the battery life (up to 5 hours), the speed, the screen (when it's on full power), and the keyboard. Toshiba has packaged the machine well, with a handy set of utilities, such as HDD protection (although this can be annoying when you're on a bumpy train - even if it is doing its job), the ConfigFree software (with its quick connect to different networks, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity), and power saving options.
Switching between monitors and Digital TVs (if they are fitted with a PC connection) shows that the graphics card isn't bad at all. Sound is good too, although the Realtek audio mixer is basic.
The touchpad drove me to distraction until I found how to turn it off while I typed - it...
Advantages: Ease of use, memory capacity Disadvantages: Quality, feel, value for money
...The Toshiba Satellite L500 is the same as most other toshiba laptops. It looks stylish and can do all the basic functions that you would want for a laptop. However, when you use it, you dont feel very comfortable because it feels very cheap. The keyboard is very flimsy and feels like it is about to break every time you type something and the mouse pad and buttons do not respond well. However, the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard is great as it makes it so easy to type numbers. You can buy this laptop with a range of processors and sizes of harddrive so you can choose the one which suits you best. The display is actually very good but the battery life could have been improved. On my model it will last for a maximum of 2.5 hours on its lowest power setting.
Overall, this laptop is reasonable at most things but not...
...time you press the fn button so you can see what they do. this has stopped appearing and all but the brightness have stopped functioning, i managed to fix it by contacting toshiba and downloading the relevant software, but it happened again so i contacted the company who provided it and they got me to do a system restore which worked for a short time, i have since given up....

Review of ToshibaPortegeR500
Advantages: Fast on a small OS, very light and small, has a good LCD screen, comes with essential bits Disadvantages: Can be slow on Win 2K, has limited RAM, one USB 1.1 port on laptop, can get hot,
...I was given this laptop by a friend for free. In my opinion, this laptop would be brilliant as a netbook. It is really small and lightweight, and with the correct operating system it can be very fast. I also want to comment on how durable the laptop is. I have spilt 2 glasses of Coke onto the keyboard and parts of the laptop and it has come through smiling. I was really impressed. Another thing that is good about the laptop is that Toshiba decided to include the Port Replicator for free. The port replicator adds more USB ports, an ethernet port and a few others.
The downside to this laptop is mainly the RAM. The laptop comes with 64Mb of RAM which can be upgraded with 32Mb, 64Mb and 128Mb modules. The problem with these RAM chips is that they are VERY expensive. £50 or $70 for the 128Mb module!!!
The laptop can also get quite hot...
Advantages: Robust, powerful, functionally superior to the competition. All you could ask for from a tablet pc. Disadvantages: Can get hot, but nothing to worry about, battery life shorter than with other models (3.5hrs), heavier than the competition making it awkward for the true mobile user.
...Over the past few months, I have been evaluating and rolling out tablet PC's across my organisation within the Health industry. My evaluation has covered the HP Compaq TC1100, the Motion M1200, the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120, and the ToshibaPortégé 3500. What follows is a brief discussion of the ToshibaPortege 3500 which I hope will give users some guidance and prove informative.
Of all the tablet PC's currently on the market the ToshibaPortégé 3500 has the best performance of all the systems because it uses the Intel Pentium III-M 1.33 GHz processor and a fast hard drive. Perhaps as a consequence of the faster processor, the Toshiba is also the hottest and noisiest; it is the only Tablet PC I have used which utilises a case fan. Furthermore, it has the shortest battery life (3:05 versus 3:25 for the top-scoring Fujitsu). Unlike...

Review of ToshibaPortege 3500
Advantages: Speedy, Light, Looks Good and Great Price! Disadvantages: Older Model, Old Processor, Old OS, Low RAM and HDD
...I bought my 3490CT on eBay UK back in January this year. It was a second hand model which came without an OS. I know that it comes with a license for Microsoft Windows 2000. I used Windows XP Home on mine. From the moment I turned it on I have loved this little machine. It has great features. I have found it to have just the adequate speed for portable computing needs. I do still find the need to have a main fast desktop computer at home. This in my case is because I do a lot of work in HTML and Flash. If you do not require a extremely fast machine which you will use for very basic Windows tasks and a machine which looks good, is tiny and light this should be one of the contenders in your buying list. You can get this very competitively priced on eBay. It is one of Toshiba's older but very stable machines. The processor being a Pentium...
