By Ailsa (reevoo.com) Read the full review

It's compact and light i can fit it in any bag along with other stuff i don't need to drag around a laptop bag as well as a bag for everything else

the touch pad doesn't have the best response time and can be a little tempremental, but a wireless or wired mouse costs barely anything thing so I'm happy to compromise

By Gordon (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Light, fast, small excellent product. Replaces a broken R300

Have not found any yet. Why have you removed from market and replaced with a larger less attractive model????? You've made the R700 screen a inch bigger and if we are spending money on a small laptop we want a small powerful laptop. You've made a...

A staggeringly lightweight 3G laptop, flawed only by limited battery and features

Toshiba Portégé R600 review

Exceedingly small and light, the Toshiba Portégé R600 laptop is a little less extreme than Sony's Vaio X, but Toshiba has managed to cram so many features into its…

Not the most stylish laptop, the Toshiba Portégé R600 is practical, comes with lots of features and is incredibly small and light.

Toshiba Portege R600 review

By Rory Reid (cnet.co.uk)

The Toshiba Portege R600 isn't as sexy as some of its rivals, but business users will love its super-light chassis, comfortable keyboard and integrated 3G modem, which allows Internet access almost anywhere

Good keyboard ; Lightweight chassis ; Integrated 3G/HSDPA modem

Screen quality is sub-par ; Pricey

Conclusion The Toshiba Portege R600 has plenty to offer. It's tremendously light, has a good keyboard, and offers a screen you can use in most lighting conditions. The battery life isn't as impressive as we'd hoped, but, alongside the Sony Vaio TZ...

Toshiba Portegé R600-108 review

By Andrew Harrison (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Toshiba Portegé R600-108 is not just a statement in lightweight laptop design: at only 810g, Toshiba has written the book on ultraportability.

Overall, the 'look and feel' impression swings somewhere between awe at the empty weight - and horror at the huge price for such an insubstantial toy-like notebook. The Toshiba Portegé R600-108 has a good performance benchmark result but a dreadful...

Toshiba Portégé R600

By Sasha Muller (expertreviews.co.uk)

If you need a laptop that's light as a bag of feathers, yet still powerful enough to do some serious work, a netbook might not fit the bill. For £300 you can't expect everything. Small keyboards, low resolution screens and equally low performance are...

Less costs more. Stunningly light, but too far from perfect.

If you fancy stumping up over 1300 quid on an ultraportable laptop, however, things look very different

Toshiba Portégé R600-101

By Sandra Vogel (zdnet.co.uk)

The Portégé R600 is a very alluring 1.11kg ultraportable, although the transflective screen mode, some aspects of build quality and battery life could all be better.

Small, light and easy to carry ; Integrated HSDPA ; Built-in webcam

Too much flex in the screen ; Slightly flimsy build in parts ; Battery life could be better
