We've reviewed more expensive models in Toshiba's ultra-portable Portégé range, but the R700-17W is considerably lighter on the wallet. It lacks an optical drive or a 3G modem, but it weighs only 1.3kg and lasts for almost seven hours away from the mai...
Small and incredibly light, the R700 still has a decent display resolution, near-desktop performance, good battery life and a three-year warranty...

The Toshiba Portégé R700 seems to pull off the impossible. It weighs the same as a typical netbook, 1.3kg, yet squeezes in a powerful processor, 13.3in screen and full-width keyboard - and all for a great price. There's one other feature it shares with n...

Toshiba's Portégé R700 is a thin-and-light laptop designed for high performance, packing all the features a mobile worker might need into a relatively lightweight frame.The Portégé R700 range was launched last year, but the R700-184 model tested here i...

The Portégé R700-184 packs a decent amount of performance into a thin-and-light package, and should prove a good companion to a road warrior, especially with its built-in 3G modem. However, it is not as sturdy as some laptops and, discounting the Core...

Toshiba has made a decent name for itself in the ultraportable laptop world, and the Portege R700 is the latest machine to join the company's line-up. If thin, light and powerful is your thing, then the R700 could well be the perfect laptop for you. Th...
At 13.3 inches, the Toshiba Portege R700 is compact, but it's the weight that really makes a difference. Starting at 1.28kg, it's one of the lightest fully-featured laptops currently on the market, and a machine you can carry around all day long without noticing it. Design wise, Toshiba is onto a winner with the Portege R700. Its subtle grey hue may not screen for attention, but it does appear su...
The Toshiba Portege R700 features integrated Intel graphics, which lacks the 3D power of the nVidia chipset found in the rival Apple MacBook Air. This means you'll be limited to office tasks, rather than light 3D gaming, although you'll still be able to watch and stream HD movies.
Prices for the Toshiba Portege R700 start at just £629, making it a bargain that's simply too good to miss. Powerful components, excellent comfort and the scarcely believable sub-1.3kg weight make it one of the best laptops on the market. Best offers f...

Toshiba's Portégé R700 updates the R600, which we reviewed over 18 months ago. That's a long time to wait for an update to a generally excellent little ultraportable notebook. One notable complaint was that, as with 2007's R500, the R600 suffered from...

The Toshiba Portege R700-1F7 has plenty of power with an Intel Core i5-M560 processor running at 2.67GHz, supported with Windows 7 Professional 32bit and 4GB of RAM. It's not surprising, then, that it scored 117 in WorldBench 6 - streets ahead of its c...
For raw speed, the Toshiba Portege R700-1F7 can’t be faulted. It’s fairly noisy, and another oddity we noticed is that it is much heavier on the left hand side than the right. Odd weight distribution aside, though, it’s a nicely built, smart and usable...
