\"Toshiba The latest review of the Toshiba Portege S100-S213TD <\/a>laptop comes from Laptop Magazine :<\/p>\n

“The Portege S100 reminds us that with the right components a thin-and-light notebook can double as a desktop replacement. A 2-GHz processor gives this system plenty of productivity performance and Nvidia graphics supply a decent amount of multimedia power. Shoppers should weigh the lack of a DVD burner, a surprising omission for a notebook that costs two grand, and the S100\u2019s less than three hours of battery life before laying down their hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n

Forget buying a laptop bag. The 4.4-pound silver-and-black Toshiba Portege S100 notebook is compact enough to fit inside a briefcase, and you\u2019ll barely notice the extra five pounds you\u2019re carrying. Pop the lid and you\u2019ll find a large 14-inch display that\u2019s sharp and bright. Upon arrival, that lid had a noticeable scar on the bottom (so don\u2019t expect a system that\u2019s scratchproof).”<\/p>\n

The Speedy processor, Discrete graphics and the fact that the Portege S100 laptop fromToshiba is very portable are appreciated by the editor.

Another Toshiba Portege S100-S213TD<\/a> review comes from CNET Reviews:<\/p>\n

\nThe Toshiba Portege S100 laptop, a thin-and-light laptop, features a swappable bay–handy for adding an optical drive, an additional hard drive, or an extra battery–and a large screen in a featherweight case. It also includes a fast current-generation Centrino processor that helped it earn stellar scores in our performance benchmarks; unfortunately, the system did not excel when it came to battery life.<\/p>\n

The Portege S100 from Toshiba falls on the slim-and-trim end of the thin-and-light spectrum, measuring 12.5 inches wide, 10.5 inches deep, and 1.2 inches thick and weighing 4.4 pounds. The similarly designed Fujitsu LifeBook S7010 weighs one-tenth of an ounce less, and the 4.2-pound Sony VAIO VGN-S260 has a smaller 13.3-inch screen. The Portege S100’s heavy AC adapter weighs almost 1 pound, bringing the system’s total weight to nearly 5.5 pounds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Toshiba Portege S100-S213TD takes 5.2 points (“Average”) rating :
\n“The Toshiba Portege S100 laptop offers business travelers a compact design and lots of speed, but it lacks one of the things they need most: long battery life.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
