Toshiba Portege R200 Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laptop Magazine<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s put it this way: The R200, which marks the 20th anniversary of Toshiba\u2019s first notebook, is so slim that there\u2019s no room for the USB ports on the sides. They\u2019re tucked in the back, along with the modem, Ethernet and VGA ports. That way the profile to this half-inch thin, 2.8-pound all-magnesium silver stunner doesn\u2019t get spoiled. The design team did find room for an SD card slot on the left and PC Card slot on the right.<\/p>\n

Things look just as nice from up front, with a nearly full-size keyboard, mirrored cutout around the touchpad (to check your teeth between meetings), and a one-touch button for outputting this ultraportable\u2019s video signal when it\u2019s time to give a presentation.<\/p>\n

Pound for pound, the most striking ultraportable we\u2019ve ever laid eyes or fingers on.

The Portege R200 notebook adds plenty of function to its fine form, including a wide keyboard, a fingerprint reader, and a Wi-Fi on\/off switch. It also offers sufficient speed and battery life for most business tasks. All in all, the Toshiba Portege R200 makes a smart, albeit a bit costly, addition to any mobile employee’s carry-on’.<\/p>\n
