In our August 2009 ultraportable notebook roundup we fell hard for Toshiba's Portégé R600-the lightest, sleekest ultraportable notebook we'd ever tested. At $2,150, however, that notebook isn't cheap. This month we tested Toshiba's more affordable ...
Great price, loads of features, well-rounded capabilities
Unimpressive fit and finish; middle-of-the-pack performance
In looks, the two machines are quite different. While the R600 wowed us with its silver, svelte stylishness, the A605 looks more commonplace. Inside and out, it's adorned with that shiny black plastic you see everywhere these days, which looks really ...

The netbook onslaught of the past 18 months has forced a sea change. No longer is small size alone enough of an excuse for a notebook to carry an exorbitantly high price. With some good performance levels and a great screen, plus light weight and ...
Great screen Solid battery life
Mono speaker, poor sound
This machine isn't for multimedia fiends or gamers. But if you need a small computer than can still handle a lot of office work and open programs at once, and if an optical drive is a necessity, then the A605 will serve you well, with outstanding ...

Toshiba has populated its ultraportable Portege line of notebooks with 12.1-inch models built on Intel Core 2 Duo mobile series processors. These ultralight notebooks range from $1299 to $2999 and differ in processor and HDD vs. SSD. The Portege R500 ...
Small size though not ultra thin. Good performance running most applications and has good gaming power for a machine in this class. Downgradeable to Windows XP. Good Wi-Fi range and good battery life.
Hard drive is too finicky about movement seems slow despite the SATA interface. The face recognition software doesn't work well. Display is just OK.
With the growing popularity of netbooks, casual laptop users who need to check their email and browser the Net will find the slower Atom processor machines running either Linux or Windows XP adequate for the job. But "full notebooks" are better for ...

The ultra-portable Toshiba Portege A600 isn't the lightest or thinnest laptop in its class, but good battery life and built-in HSDPA add to its portability credentials. It also has a built-in optical drive, which many of its rivals lack, and ...
Lightweight ; built-in HSDPA modem ; good value
Relatively slow processor and graphics ; poor viewing angles ; looks and feels plasticky
If you're after a truly portable laptop and don't want to mess around with external optical drives, the Toshiba Portege A600 will most definitely appeal. The built-in HSDPA is a real bonus and you get a lot for your money
Toshiba's ridiculously lightweight Portege R600 might steal all the headlines, but, if you don't mind a few extra grams, the Portege A600 is cheaper. Conclusion It's hard not to be impressed by the Toshiba Portege A600. The A600-122 configuration...

An office ultraportable?
Battery life, light weight, small size
Poor performance, flimsy build
With a low weight and all-day battery life, this is an ideal tool for busy corporate users, but those needing a powerful machine to multi-task on should look elsewhere

The Portégé A600-112 is a well specified ultraportable with particularly good wireless connectivity. However, the build quality seems a touch flimsy in places, including the keyboard.
Integrated mobile broadband, Matte screen, Integrated optical drive
Build quality is flimsy in places, On the bulky/heavy side for an ultraportable
At 28.6cm by 22.3cm by 2.99cm the A600 has a compact footprint, though its thickness makes it feel a little bulky. The system's 1.46kg weight is at the high end of the scale for today's ultraportables, but it's not unduly heavy. Build quality is ...

A lightweight laptop with a five-hour battery life
Lightweight ; battery life
Thin screen needs protecting when carried around ; pricey
The Portg A600 is ideal for people who are still not convinced by netbooks, but want a small highly portable notebook with a built-in optical drive, but it's not cheap
