I was just looking around the Internet when I came across the new Toshiba laptop. It is said to be thinner and lighter than the Apple counterpart, but the price is not. The Portégé R700 is the name of the new one, and I have to say, people are going nuts over it, and not in a good way.

Naturally people pick things apart, especially technology stuff, no body wants to buy something without the geeks backing it up first.

People think that the MacBook Air [MBA] is simply a glorified Eee PC, but at least Apple has the decency to use nice silver aluminum, not cheap plastic like the R700.

The R500 will represent the top of Toshiba’s UMPC range. Two versions will be available including one, the 11J with 64GB of SSD and no optical drive, which is clearly looking for a confrontation with the Mac Book Air!

No matter what Mister Jobs says, Toshiba claims to have the thinnest and lightest laptop in the world (779g and 25.5mm).
The specifications include: WiFi, BlueTooth, 3G+/HSDPA, Toshiba Easy Guard for safety…
