Conclusion
Overall our final impressions of the Toshiba Portege R500 are "enthusiastic," but we can't shake the feeling there is plenty of room for improvement. The R500 represents an impressive first-generation design for the future of the ultra-portable market. We expect to see amazing things from Toshiba in the coming years as the Portege line grows and develops.
In terms of how this ultraportable stacks up to the competition, the R500 is a bit of a mixed bag. While the R500 is remarkably well built for such a thin and light ultraportable, most competing systems have a more rugged build quality. Likewise, although the R500 is a full-featured notebook in most respects, the low-voltage processor and only 1GB of RAM running Vista make the R500 noticeably slower than other notebooks in the same class.
Bottom line, the R500 is the thinest and lightest full-featured notebook in its class. Unfortunately, you will have to make some sacrifices if size and weight are important to you.
