Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-04X048EN?WRTY) PC Notebook

Will keep this reveiw short but first off is the weight! at Only 1kg this is an amazingly light and portable laptop! even light than most Netbooks outthere!! so light infact when i passed it my mum she put it on the car floor thinking it was just a book! 2nd is the screen, nice and bright and so far the best screen i have used outside!

then comes the smaller bits that you dont allways see on other laptops.

Laptop automatically turns on when you open the lid;

you can charge phone or usb device while laptop is in standby!;

the finger print scanner actually works & is used to both logon to machine and internet sites;

has unique back reflecting screen so when your outside you can turn backlight on the display off and have a clear picture while saving alot of battery power.

has physical switch for wifi and turn dial for sound (so you dont have to use Fn keys!)

has all the ports you expect on a laptop inc VGA, sound, 3xUSB, Firewire, ethernet, SD reader and Blue tooth and Wifi (b,g and N!).

Battery life is very good I get a consistant 4hours + dispite what i am doing on the laptop this may possibly be better still with a new battery (this one is year and half old) and new battery on ebay is only £40

has DVDR drive something thats unique to laptops/notebooks of this weight class!

Runs Windows 7 absolutly great!

ok and the minor downsides, the cd does feel/look a bit flimsy when its open and it only has one speaker (allthou better sound then some laptops i have used!)

Hope this is usefull to someone and if you have any questions drop me an email :) sebz2k@gmail.com
