Review summary: Toshiba's Portégé brand is known for its strength, reliability and portability for the business user, but many of the machines lack the style associated with Sony's VAIO range. Not so the Portégé R500, a stunning ultraportable weighing in at just 1.1kg

Review summary: The Toshiba Portege R500-10U weighs in at a shocking 779g -- as much as a mug of coffee or a loaf of bread. With its long battery life and transflexive screen, Toshiba has created an ultra-smart ultraportable for Web browsing and office productivity. ...
Verdict: Nothing beats the Toshiba Portege R500-10U for sheer lightness. It lets itself down slightly due to its questionable build quality, and the battery life could be a bit longer, but it's still an astonishing product

pcplus.co.uk 		Toshiba Portégé R500-U10

Review summary: The most remarkable thing about the Toshiba Portégé R500-U10 is its 800g weight. It's easily the lightest 12.1in laptop we've ever looked at and, for a fully functional notebook, it's an incredible piece of design.

pcmag.com 		10 Ultra

Review summary: Calling the Toshiba Portégé R500 (SSD) ($2,599 direct) an ultraportable is an understatement. It's almost inconceivable that a laptop can sport a 12-inch screen and a full-size keyboard and yet weigh only 1.7 pounds (yeah, you read that right). Of ...
Verdict: Toshiba drove the Portégé R500 (SSD)'s weight down to 1.7 pounds, but you'll have to do without an optical drive, work with a smaller battery, and pay for an expensive SSD drive.
