Toshiba Portege R700-S1330 Review - PCWorld

The screen is a reasonably good LED-backlit matte LCD, filling out a resolution of 1366 by 768 easily enough. Colors were good, but the R700 struggles to fill large black areas in video. The Intel HD integrated graphics solution is more than adequate...

Great style for any user

Mushy Chiclet-style keyboard

Toshiba delivers a great machine with a few annoying flaws.

Review Toshiba Portégé R700 Notebook

Untiring business professional. Toshiba promises up to 12 hours o

Outstanding application performance; Long battery life is possible (depending on the work load); Light, slim design; Stable magnesium case with nice look and feel; Optical drive; Interface equipment with HDMI and eSATA and docking port; Pleasant...

Noise development; Heat emissions under load; Illumination and contrast of the display

Small business notebooks with similarly outstanding application performance can be found for instance in the Vaio VPCZ12M9E/B.G4, in the somewhat larger Latitude E6410, Lenovo Thinkpad T410s or X201s.

Toshiba Portégé R700 Review

In honor of the 25 years Toshiba has been making laptops—starting with the T1100 in 1985—Toshiba is dubbing its new R700 an “anniversary” system. The laptop is the newest addition to Toshiba's venerable Portégé line of business ultraportables. It...

Slick styling; sturdy build; full-power processor; SSD provides data security

Trade-off for SSD is limited storage; we miss the R600's volume dial

Nevertheless, the R700 continues the series’ tradition of excellence by combining a superb combination of ultraportability and business performance.

Toshiba Portege R700-15P

Weighing just 1.5kgs and sporting unquestionable ultra-portable dimensions the Portege could be the perfect travel companion

The Portege R700 boats an elegant design, sturdy build quality and it packs enough power under its hood to tackle applications with ease. A capable ultra-portable for road warriors.

Portege R700-S1331, Tecra R700-007 Laptop

Toshiba's Portege R700-S1331, sold as the Tecra R700-007 in Canada, is an uncompromising thin and light notebook, a true power-focused ultraportable for the executive class.

Typically, thin & light notebooks are designed with long battery life and portability in mind. As a result, many manufacturers discard the optical drive to slim down the chassis, go for 11" or 12" inch screens and often use cramped keyboards that are...

Toshiba Portege R700

Super-slim and light, yet affordable., Extremely light and portable. Slim and attractive and finds room for an internal DVD drive. Sharp, bright display. Good keyboard

Keyboard travel is low., No Bluetooth on the base R705-P25 model, keyboard travel is relatively low

We're quite fond of the Toshiba Portege R700: it's very slim, incredibly light, has an internal optical drive and a capable battery for just under a grand. Sweet. If you're looking for an ultralight among 13" models, the R700 stands out for value and...
