Toshiba Portégé A100

The Portégé A100 is portable and practical, but would be improved by a speed increase and faster wireless networking.

More ports than the typical sub-notebook ; internal optical drive

Not very fast ; last year's 802.11b wireless standard ; plastic lid

Toshiba Portege A100 (Pentium M 1.4GHz, 256MB RAM)

Toshiba's latest Portege A100 shares an uncanny resemblance to the

Stylish iBook-like design; comfortable keyboard feel; bright LCD; 4-hour battery life; three-year warranty

Optical drive is not hot-swappable; relatively expensive for a 1.4GHz machine; integrated graphics chip; casing stains and scratches easily

Despite its quirks, the A100's attractive-looking design, strong feature set and above-average performance will appeal to mobile professionals as well as those who've always wanted an iBook but a Windows platform.
