Toshiba Port?g? R500 Series
Released June, 2007
The Pros:Very few compromises despite the small size. Full sized keyboard. Built-in optical drive, which is rare for this thinness.
The Cons:Screen and keyboard have flex which can be disconcerting. Optical drive can get in the way of the PC card slot.
The Portégé R500 series from Toshiba is a line of extremely small and lightweight laptops, weighing at 2.4 lbs. Models features a 12.1" display screen with 1200x800 resolution, which is so durable that it is intentionally designed to be flexed and twisted without damage.
