Toshiba Protege R700

Float like a butterfly...


Toshiba has recently announced a new line of laptops, the Toshiba Portege. 

 

In an attempt to fill a void in the laptop market, Toshiba has stepped up their game.  Remember the days when everyone has  Toshiba laptop?  It seems they are making a push to make that a reality once again. 

 

Their latest offering isn't a bad place to start fom.  Based on some initial impressions, the Toshiba Portege R700 looks to be lean and mean computing machine, just take a look at its impressive specs.

 

 

 

- 13.3 inch screen

- 8 1/2 hours of battery life

- USB Sleep & Charge (charges a USB device even when the laptop is asleep) -- Nice.

- 1 inch thin and 3 1/2 lbs.

- Built in Optical Drive

- Spill resistant keyboard

- Airflow Cooling Technology

- Eco-Friendly Engineering

- HDMI out.

 

Not a bad list.  It seems Toshiba is trying to push hard to offer customers in the Macbook Air or iPad market a fully functioning alternative.  With a starting price of around $900, it is significantly cheaper than the Macbook Air.

 

What do you think?  Peak your interest?
