  • PORTÉGÉ R500. TAKE FLIGHT with the Portégé R500 and soar to new heights in mobile computing. This stunningly light notebook is a world first – in many ways. Its stylish design and record-setting technological advances take mobile computing to the next level by defining a new breakthrough in portability and productivity.

    One of the world's lightest notebooks
    So light, you'd think it'll float away. It weighs in at a tiny 974 grams (including the DVD optical drive) and is Toshiba's first notebook to feature a flash-based 64GB Solid State Disc*. SSDs have the advantage of being more resilient to shock and vibration, more power efficient, quieter and with faster boot-up and read times.

    The world's first notebook with the slimmest optical disc drive
    So innovative, you wonder how it’s done. The dual-spindle configuration of the Portégé R500 includes the world’s first 7mm DVD Super Multi drive 3), a component that helps the system maintain its ultra-portable form factor while increasing the system’s overall productivity level.

    The world’s first notebook with transflective LED
    So clear, you’ll be carried away by the image quality. The 12.1" widescreen transflective LED
    backlit display is ideal for use in virtually any type of lighting condition. Indoors, it produces an image
    rich in colour saturation and superb in quality. Outdoors, the transflective screen uses natural sunlight
    to bring the display’s colours and images to life.

    One of the world’s thinnest notebooks
    So thin, you’ll hardly feel it. At 19.5/25.5 mm in height4), the Portégé R500 notebook is one of the world’s thinnest notebooks. With the inclusion of a full keyboard and a full set
    of Toshiba EasyGuard technologies to exceed executives’ requirements for security and data protection, the Portégé R500 provides a new sense of freedom and flexibility.

    One of the world’s longest battery operating times
    So long-lasting, you’ll forget you’re in flight. Work wherever you are and whenever you like and reap the benefits of cordless mobile computing. The battery operating time of this exceptional ultra-portable ranges from 7 up to 12.5 hours).
