A near-perfect road companion with a head-turning design, the Toshiba Portege R500 is an amazing ultra-portable with only a couple of minor shortcomings.rnThe $2,149 R500-S5002 model we tested measures a trim 0.8×11.1×8.5 inches and weighs just 2.4 pounds. Despite this small case, you still get a bright 1,280×800-resolution, 12.1-inch LED-backlit display, as well as a comfortable, full-rnsize, spill-resistant keyboard, a decent-size touch pad, and a fingerprint reader. The notebook also packs a solid set of ports, slots, and connections, plus a very slim drawer-style DVD±RW burner— a rare feature in an ultraslim model.
