Toshiba Portege R700 Bows With Pricing And Specs

Tweet

It’s easy to scoff at the Toshiba Portege and be utterly convinced that a brand of laptop that looks like a huge typo can’t possibly be worthwhile, but that would be a deep and serious mistake. The Toshiba Portege R700 is downright impressive, and a whole slew of newsy bits dropped alongside it.

The Toshiba Portege R700 has, if you can believe it, a magnesium chassis that’s been honeycombed on the inside to disperse heat. We all know how badly laptops can heat up during use, and if this works, it should be amazing.

But that’s not all it’s got! It’s incredibly portable, measuring an inch thick and weighing in at just three pounds. It comes in a variety of configurations besides:

The Portege R700-S1310 uses an Intel Core i3 processor with a 500 gig hard drive for $999, while the Portege R700-S1320 packs an Intel Core i5-520M processor with a 320 gig hard drive for $1,299. Lastly, the Portege R700-S1330 brings in the Intel Core i7-620M processor with a 128 gig solid state drive for $1,599. Plus, there will even be a “consumer model”, the Portege R705 available only at Best Buy for $889.99 that will boast a Magnesium Blue cover with an Intel Core i3 processor, four gigs of RAM and a 500 gig hard drive.

Don’t know about you, but I’m amazed. I hope that honeycombing concept works as well as they seem to think it will!
