"First Review: Light Toshiba Notebook For Business Travellers"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:06/11/2008

Toshiba has just launched an ultra-portable notebook designed for the mobile professional. The A600 is a dead ringer for the company's R500, but is equipped with the latest software and services to simplify your computing experience.

The build and design is similar to Toshiba's Portege R500, making the A600 a lightweight but tough notebook. It weighs from 1.46kg and is only 30mm thick, which is good for business travellers looking for a portable notebook that can last for hours on end.

The unit hosts the volume wheel, headphone and microphone jack, USB port, e-SATA/USB combo port, D-Sub out, and AC port on the left side, while a DVD drive, ExpressCard slot, Wireless on/off switch, SD card reader, USB, and Ethernet port are found on the opposite side.

Opening the lid reveals the trackpad with a fingerprint reader in between the mouse buttons, system indicators (DC-in, Power, Battery, HDD, SD/SDHC card, Wireless), built-in microphone, keyboard, Display and Toshiba Assist button on the upper right hand side of the unit, and a web camera sitting on top of the screen.
